I really do not think there is a might to it, I think the influence is pretty definite. The thing to remember about Mike Banks is that he is a straight up real studio musician, and is responsible for alot of people's careers in this city. Mike Banks was a session bass player before UR, as well as being a member of an old school Detroit funk outfit called Mike and the Mechanics(who according to TR(313faqfromhell) used to play kraftwerk tunes by hand.) There is not a doubt in my mind that Mills and Hood would not be where they are without Mike Banks. > > Does anyone know if Jeff or Rob had produced anything prior to UR > involvement? (I should know this, I know...) Jeff Was involved in an industrial group called the Final Cut, which was on Interfisch(which is the parent company of Tresor) along with Clock DVA among others. Jeff met Mike Banks through session work on the first Final Cut record. Ask around, I know mutual friends of ours own these records. Rob might have previous releases, but they has never been mentioned in the 5 years I have been on this list, and nobody I know is aware of them if the do exist. take care, mt PS What is still in print in Kenny Larkin's Discography, specifically, are Metaphor or Seven Days still available in any format? > -- > There4IM > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
