"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

My recommendations 2006:
Beach House by Beach House

Beach House: Beach House
Carpark 10/3/2006

Available at Emusic

Beach House couldn't have pickes a more apt name for themselves. Though one knows that this album is the work of two people, one gets a nagging sense that it's actually the result of millennia of natural forces: tides, gravity, wind. Drones and a generous helping of reverb give Beach House's debut an unmistakably pastoral quality. Only the faint echo of a woman's voice and the drum machine give away any human involvement.
