I don't think he was ever apologising or hiding anything at all- it was
(as he has stated quite a few times now) simply an attempt to make
people focus on the music and not the personality behind the music.
As for techno elitists and the whole underground thing, its just
not something that
My comment wasn't really aimed at Mike Jason nor UR - although I did
hear someone yesterday saying that they (UR) will now be accused of
going commercial - how we laughed! There is a school of people who
believe that releasing records and not telling anyone, and by this I
mean no marketing, is
the era of the faceless techno producer - Mike Banks is one of the last
whose image was a ? in lots of peoples minds.
So no more masks? Takes away a bit of the whole UR shroud of mystery don't
you think?
At least the music is still great.

masks or that the music is still great? I am assuming the first bit?
Anyway i think it is also a lot harder now the get through customs with
a riot mask in your luggage and saying that you are performing in this
band
I'm not super upset about this - in the end it's the music that
matters. I
just thought that MM coming out from behind the shadows sort of puts
the
last nail into the mysterious techno producer coffin.
There will always be those that continue it though (for whatever
reason).

Guess this capes no good anymore either eh?
