Back in the day when hardcore DJ's played UR, which they did, quite often in many occasions, hardcore was nowhere near to 200 bpm. It was in fact around the same speed as most techno (which is why UR and other early techno like Joey Beltram was played in hardcore sets - alot), originally it was even slower. Back in these days people werent so uptight about what music could be played by whom and what genre it was and whether or not it was acceptable. It was just a case of play anything that made people dance. I think we could do with a bit more of that attitude these days actually, there are not many DJ's around anymore who are happy to genre hop their way through a set, and its a bit of a shame really. But then again, if someone started mixing trance into a techno set, I suppose I would get pretty pissed off... Anyway, UR were definately NOT hardcore, but they were certainly mixed in with it, and definately had an influence on it. Aaron
