I remember Mark EG was one of the writers at Generator who gave quite a lot of coverage to Detroit artists, but he always had a leaning towards ludicrously hard techno. I got a record by him fairly recently whose title was pretty self-explanatory - "Mad Music Engagement".
It's a shame that magazines like Muzik and Mixmag survived while Generator went belly-up - it wasn't too bad, really. I also remember Mindfood, the short-lived ambient fanzine (they gave my tape a nice review, but then again I did work with most of them - nepotism at work!), and Under One Sky, the global techno thing. It's funny looking back at how essential mags and fanzines were, back in those days before the internet had a major impact!
