"I did not believe in a heaven and hell world in opposites kind of reality..."
As a long-time fan of both Frank Herbert's original Dune series of books, as well as the music of the Chemical Brothers, I was jazzed when I first heard this synergistic tune many moons ago. I was equally delighted to be reminded of it while trolling Youtube this morning.
I'm not sure how intentional the relationship between the two pieces (music and novel) is, (and it may all just be in my personal approach to the material in reposnse to the song's title), but given my interest in the Dune-iverse, it's hard not to consider the literary "Golden Path" as suggested by the God Emperor of Dune...
Wow, it's true. My students are right, I am a nerd!
Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!

Hahahaha, but atleast you are a cool nerd with good taste in music & books! LOL. ;-)
Anyhow, it's actually cool to be a geek these days, (maybe your students missed that memo! ;-), so go ahead & revel in it!
Of course, we fans of the Dune series know that it's so much more than "just another series of sci-fi novels." It's a rich Dune-iverse of philosophy, history, political intrigue, and an excellent study in human psychology. Have you ever encouraged your students to read Dune? ;-) They'd probably learn a lot, & be highly entertained in the process. When I discovered the series (many moons ago!), I found the books to be absolutely riveting, and could not put them down!
Greeting earthlings, welcome to our Dune-iverse. ;-)
