RēR Quarterly

It was published at irregular intervals between 1985 and 1997 by Recommended Records and November Books, and edited by English percussionist, lyricist and music theorist Chris Cutler.

The A4 magazine (varying from 42 to 112 pages per issue) included artwork and theoretical and practical articles on music, often by the composers and performers featured on the record.

And secondly a printed magazine without the usual interviews and reviews, avoiding the language and outlook of the vapid music press ...[1]RēR Quarterly was distributed primarily to international subscribers by Recommended Records in London.

Paul Oldfield wrote in the English music newspaper Melody Maker in 1985: "[RēR Quarterly] is the pursuit of unimaginable, packed in artwork of giddy luminescence.

[3] He praised the tracks by Thinking Plague, Tom Nunn, Al Margolis and N.O.R.M.A., and said the album is "important" because pieces by Les Sales Combles, Diledadafish and Koongoortoog are the only recorded works left by these "occulted projects".

He wrote that the album highlights include "[w]ave-like shapes of ambient noise" in "Feu Brilliant" by Keith Rowe and Alaid De Phillips, and extracts from a live radio performance in "After Hours" / "The Colour of Blood" by Shelley Hirsch, Jon Rose and Chris Cutler.

[4] Schulte called the latter a "very interesting listen" and described it as a "collage of conversation and instrumentation" that sounds like a "bizarre radio play".
