issn = 1138-2864"Rockdelux" is a popular
music magazine published monthly inSpain ."Rockdelux" was first published in November
1984 , and since then has accumulated over 200 editions, celebrating its 200th in October2002 , when it released a list of the 200 greatest international albums of all time, according to the magazine's staff. "Rockdelux"'s brief is to serve a specific section of the public who are passionate about music, and its focus has been to concentrate on new and more alternative artists from both Spain and the outside world (termed "international").It has an extensive review section, covering mainly new musical releases and re-releases, but also covers other music-related subjects such as live concerts and videos and features reviews of new books and graphic novels. Unlike many other review sections in popular magazines, it eschews the trend of giving a numerical value to each review, which are purely composed of written text summing up the release's values.
During its tenure within the industry, "Rockdelux" has been the recipient of various awards for music publication of the year from such organisations as Radio 3,
Cadena SER andIberpop amongst others.In April
1999 , "Rockdelux" began to issue complementary CDs as a free gift with the magazine, each one generally acting as a sampler for a particularrecord label , such asWarp Records ,Fierce Panda Records andSub Pop records.
