Feb 2, 2010, Justin Martin's Remix of Grace featured on As Heard (From Mars)

Despite the slightly odd (but not unwelcome) idea that I'm "essentially considered to be an atmospheric/dubstep artist", its great that AH(FM) recognises how wonderful Justin's remix is.

While I think that "Remixes Without Words" is very strong as a whole, my personal favourite of the bunch is Justin's remix. And I'm including my remix of "Stargirl" in that assessment.
