"Because flesh is weak, the forms break down, and cannot last forever"

Because I love you all, here are two amazing tracks. Shackleton's "Blood On My Hands," pretty much the most gut-wrenchingly mournful dubstep track ever made. And Ricardo Villalobos' epic 18 minute remix, stretching it out into a near infinite plateau of whispering echoes and haunted warmth. And for once the lyrics in a dubstep/techno/whatever song don't disappoint. For god's sake it's actually about 9/11 (at least, one would think) and approaches it with more sophistication and subtlety than the vast majority of facile media commentary that we are supposed to interpret as "compassionate"...
