I never met him on a personal level. I.E. I never sat down with him in a
private setting and got to know the guy. I have however seen/met a group of
guys at the New Music Seminar in NYC several years back who were the "UR
crew", which included Mad Mike and a few others. They were dressed in
military fatigues with red berets. Their presence was so strong, everyone
in the room couldn't help but notice in awe. It was very cool. They played
off the whole techno revolution theme quite well. I felt like they were the
lead of a strike force out to crush the commercial programmers.
Please don't take this as a statement that Mad Mike and UR are a bunch of
militant and violent guys out to bash heads. That's not it at all. It was
purely a presence type of thing. A message if you will. Public presence is
all a part of the entertainment industry and they are intelligent to know it
and to use that to their advantage.
Mad Mike has posted several times on the 313 mail list. He comes off as
intelligent, calculated, and personable from what I can tell. I've always
been very impressed with what he has to say and how he represents himself in
a public forum.
It's too bad I didn't know more about the other people behind the scenes in
Detroit back when I saw those guys and NMS. I wish I could remember who
they were. When you don't know who someone is, it's quite hard to remember
their name.
