That is sad news. I relied on their monthly magazine to try and stay vaguely connected in the 90's.
Living in Japan seemed much more isolated pre-internet.
The New Music Monthly had a 15 to 20 track CD of the new / Indie music and was a lifeline for me.
"CMJ New Music Monthly was a monthly music magazine with interviews, reviews, and special features published from 1993[4] to 2009. Each issue included a compact disc with 15 to 24 songs by well established bands, unsigned bands, and everything in between. As of issue 156 (1112 using the CMJ New Music Report numbering), dated June 20, 2009, the magazine ceased operation, and subscribers had their remaining issues replaced by the CMJ New Music Report with a music compilation available online.[5] By April 2010, it stopped delivering CMJ New Music Report to its subscribers.[6]"
