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).
MMmmmm but mysterious to who? I could really see the point in the early
days but wearing a mask in the good ole USA just aint that wise at the
moment.
I think that MM showing his face might actually give more strength to
the
UR label. People now want to know who is doing what and they are
willing
to expose artists to others (discogs is a good example of this in
action
-w/artist bios, etc.)
MM is in control of his image which is good. I see how it can fit into
their propaganda (going face-to-face with the opponent, won't hide
behind
mask, etc.)
Sure, I also think it makes perfect sense after listening to the
interview he did
