You know that Mike Banks toured with Bootsy Collins before establishing UR? He ain't no 'knob twiddler' - but we all knew that anyway.
There was a recent thread at another group where UR were mentioned. Get this: No UR on ITunes!! You can't buy integrity... I could go on about how much I respect UR... You know about them refusing to license the Knights of the Jaguar to Sony / BMG, so they made a copy of the track called 'Jaguar E-Type'? UR sued and won - for once, the good guys won.
It should be interesting to see how future UR records sound after the passing of their mastering engineer, Ron Murphy. I must have tens, even approaching hundreds of records cut by Murphy. From the video I saw, he didn't have a 'high-end facility' at all - but he certainly knew how to get a sound that worked for electronic music.
