UR: we are ready to receive alien transmissions up here in the Northern climes of MTL. The rest of us will be shocked into submission by the soundwaves.

Many of us have long been preparing for a visit from the squad since we began collecting the wax imprints some 18 years ago. We've seen a few of you hit Toronto and Vancouver -- but not yet MTL. We welcome you with open and hopefully not too-robotic arms.

Bienvenue à Montréal ...

Question: who's playing the sonic assault squad for the evening? Mad Mike, you be playing live or DJing? Rolando along for the ride? The Suburban Knight? Others?

yours / a longtime technohead (now aged like fine wine)

Mad Mike isn´t DJing, when he´s on the stage he plays either keys or guitar.
Rolando is not belonging to UR for some years now.

you have been away/out of the "scene" for some years? if you were a bit sloppy with gathering new stuff, then you MUST check out the fantastic UR records released in the past few years. above all, Interstellar Fugitives 2, maybe the most diverse and best electronic album ever. then there´s Electronic Warfare 2. and a line of 12"s which all need to be checked out, Hi Tek Dreams, Nomadico EP, etc...

UR are just as kicking as they were 10 years ago, and just as kicking as they were 15 years ago! no nostalgia needed, the fresh stuff is delivered here - UR´s still about the future.

I just write this because many long time Techno-heads read "UR" and then think about the 90s, with great releases and a great scene (f.e. here in central Europe where it got shitty after the turn of the century). but as good as the old UR records are, the new stuff is as brilliant.
maybe you have all the new stuff anyway, I just mentioned it.

+ah yah, I have a lot of the new material, Interstellar Fugitives 2, and so on.

So what is "Underground Resistance Live" these days? What should we expect from the live show?
