...Rage Against The Machine and the "melodic touch" of Led Zeppelin. Apparently, they have the version of "Led Zeppelin 4" where Page and Plant tinker around with drum machines and 303s as they try to create the definitive house anthem. Or maybe not. Fortunately, these dubious comparisons don't detract from the exquisite deep house sound of this album. Dubtribe Sound System are Sunshine and Moonbeam, a duo more usually seen playing live than recording, and judging from this effort, they must send dance floors mad.

Without characters and plot, an intricate and fascinating drama is created nevertheless through the intimate connection of footwork...
Even without considering inflated grading policies, there already exist too many factors that detract from the uniformity of a course's sections. Most obvious are the variations among teaching fellows, from the dynamic leaders who draw students into discussions to the meek leaders who allow three or four students to dominate the discussion, from the TFs who could teach the course with more passion than the professor to those dry enough to make students resent ever enrolling in the course...
