What's particularly amazing about this (now the second time UR seems to be involved in sampling/covering issues with a major label) is the majors managed to find probably the techno producers most opposed to such practices....the irony here is enormous. If nothing else, it should be "consolation" for Mad Mike to know that his tracks are so good that even cover versions and trance versions using his samples are making national charts. Yikes. I suppose the original "Sonic Destroyer" would be a bit too undiluted for mass consumption anyway.
