    I was listening to this this very morning and thinking just how appropriate it was. Gets me every time.

    Have you heard the Disco Acid 12″ which features the ‘other’ great MLK speech?

    “The new world is a world of geographical togetherness. This means that no individual or nation can live alone. Man, through his scientific genius, has been able to dwarf distance and place time in chains; he has been able to carve highways through the stratosphere. And so it is possible today to eat breakfast in New York
    and dinner in Paris
    .

    “This says to us that our world is geographically one. Now we are faced with the challenge of making it spiritually one. Through our scientific genius we have made of the world a neighbourhood; now, through moral and spiritual genius, we must make of it a brotherhood.”

    Reuben – That is a great quote from a speech not widely known! I will hunt down that track and only hope the music does the quote justice! Thanks for posting.
