Future Music & Computer Music. I don't buy them regularly (each issue costs about $20 - $25 in Australia), but I keep the issues I've bought and found them surprisingly timeless. The artist interviews are often about the creative process & workflows. They interviewed Moby just before his Play album went to #1, and it contains my favorite quote on impostor syndrome:
"I'd done a mix here and I put it on headphones. Then I thought, just for fun I'd put on [The Prodigy's] The Fat Of The Land. It sounded a million times better so I got very depressed.... When you're working by yourself you can lose objectivity so quickly and molehills become mountains. I'll be working on a song and if I can't get the kick drum to sound right I'll think I'm a failure and walk around Manhattan, mourning my fate. It doesn't matter that I've made lots of records in the past. All that matters is I can't get one kick drum right. And all I can think about is my career's over and I'm going to have to become a fries chef at McDonalds." - Moby (pg 63, Future Music 84, July 1999)
