Expediency is not a principle virtue


But seriously folks, 'the advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving' as some dude once said. Although it is wise to remember that there aren't really any rich psychologists or scientists or sociologists or whatever...these people study what they do because they love it, because learning is an end in itself for them and not for some mere material gain. Education has a tricky place in the means-ends dichotomy, but I feel that 'classical' education (the usual academic fare, not business/management or learning a trade) is most honorably approached as an end...and I feel really bad for those who have a 'corrupted' view of education (as per Aristotle's account of the corruption of moneymakers, who confuse money as an end instead of the means it is).
But once again I'm ranting so here're some sweet tech-house and prog tracks with a little electro thrown in at the end:

The Deejay's An Alien - David Harness & Roland Clark This one's got some pretty funny lyrics

Frühlingserwachen - Audionatica / Claude Staffieri Heavy-hitting for prog, not bad at all

Since You Are Gone - Oliver Koletzki A nice and chill synth adventure

If You Knew (Feed Me Remix) - Chris Lake feat. Nastala Kinda clubby but definitely better than the original, and the editing is genius

Supply & Demand (d.i.m. Rmx Dub) - Fischerspooner Electro, and damn good at that...a nice change from the crap in this genre that's out there these days. D.I.M. has won back some acclaim after that nightmare at Metropolis for Neon's 10th anniversary

These are all great tracks, some are a bit old I know but they're definitely worth having.

Enjoy
