Shackleton - Blood On My Hands (Ricardo Villalobos' Apocalypso Now Mix) Review by e-sense Jan 31, 2008
Knowing the original version I must strongly disagree with Marellia's supposition 'I trully feel that the original piece only serve providing some raw material'. The original track is immensely powerful tribalish dubstep (so characteristic for Shackleton!) and all Ricard had to do was 'making it minimal'. However, what he did is really impressive and I would say that it's only a bit weaker than the original; on the other hand, it has more of dancefloor potential.
So, if you appreciate the remix listen to the original one - it really deserves it!

Shackleton - Blood On My Hands (Ricardo Villalobos' Apocalypso Now Mix) Review by marellia Jul 09, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
This release could be define like this: "he has done it again !".
A few month after the now (in)famous "Fizheuer Zieheuer", Ricardo Villalobos comes back with another ultra minimalist & repetitive monster, this time clearly presented as a remix, remix that this track is and is not.
These 18 minutes are the darkest work to date from the chilean, and are like the reversed medal of his 37 minutes serbian mix. The construction of the track is basically built on a 2 minutes circles that will repeat itself almost literally for 9 times, with small variations that tend to be more & more impresive as the tracks evolves.
I honestly don't know the Shackleton original track, but even I trully feel that the original piece only serve providing some raw material to built this strange work that is definitively pure villalobosian fantaisy.
Of course it's a matter of being touched by extreme repetition, hypnotism & micro-evolutions, if it's your case you will discover thousand delights, if no, forget it !
