Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they're different.  The MK
Ultra (vs. T Power) you're referring to is Jean-Frangois Bire.  The MK
Ultra in the bent crayon description above is some indie-something-or-other
band from San Francisco led by John Vanderslice.  I've never actually heard
this band, so I can't really offer a description of their music.  On the
other hand, I have heard the MK Ultra with the T Power connection.  I have
an EP by him called "Freedom" from a couple years back.  If I can remember
correctly, it sounded kinda house-y, and not at all like the T Power mutant
track, which was more in the B.L.I.M., DJ Soul Slinger, Atomic Dog, etc vein.
