"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:
Orchestra of Bubbles by Ellen Allien & Apparat

Ellen Allien & Apparat: Orchestra of Bubbles
Bpitch Control 5/2/2006

Musical collaboration between like-minded artists can be risky, but in the case of German techno artists Ellen Allien and Apparat, the fruit of their collaboration is the best work either has done. Oscillating somewhere between "techno" and "pop", Orchestra of Bubbles doesn't fit comfortably in either realm. Not one of these tracks comes off as designed to be danceable, but most could hold their own on a dance floor - with or without a 12" mix.
