“Those who believe in the power of broad patterns and rules, rather than the authority of individuals or institutions, are not intimidated by the boundaries and hierarchies of knowledge. They don’t defer to the superior expterise of insiders; they set up shop in a small loft somewhere downtown and take on the whole music industry at once.” - Malcolm Gladwell on Mike McCready; The New Yorker - October 16, 2006

“I know a guy in Barcelona who has started a company to develop algorithms to determine whether a song is going to be a hit. It analyzes music to figure it out - and they’re selling it to the record companies, and it’s quite effective. If you expand on that, there’s no reason you couldn’t have your own personal search engine that understands your taste and can instantly analyze music based on a whole bunch of different, very subjective criteria to determine whether you might like it.”
- Moby (Time Magazine Cover Story “What’s Next” Oct. 24, 2005)
“Mike’s captainship of Platinum Blue consistently demonstrates his verve, innovation and committment to success. My friendship with Mike, which grew out of a strategic alliance between PHMI and my IRIS Distribution project has revealed in him the highest levels of integrity.”
