"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

It's a Feedelity Affair by Lindstrøm

Lindstrøm: It's a Feedelity Affair
Smalltown Supersound 11/21/2006

Lindstrøm's Feedelity label website describes his sound fairly accurately: "...without any knowledge of dance music whatsoever, he entered the scene rather freed from any preconceived notions of style and trend parameters." This may be somewhat of a redundancy when describing any artist in an electronic genre - who gets a B.A. in microhouse from Juilliard anyway? - but in Lindstrøm's case, it's doubly true. He constructs house music from real, organic instruments as well as synths. If you were not given this information ahead of time, you might never figure it out because Lindstrøm blends organic and synthetic elements so seamlessly that the distinction seems meaningless (because it really is).
