Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal Still Human (Kendra Steiner Editions #122, Jan. 2009) "I am the silence. I am the struggle." I imagine you would call something a universal work when connections can be made regardless of intention, but perhaps it is just the times we find ourselves in.

Download: Maps of Norway - "Strict Ritual" (live) Download: Maps of Norway - "The Runout" Just last week, it looked like Minneapolis-based proto-serious post-punkers Maps of Norway weren't going to be doing much of anything, what with having to drop out of the Nomo show due to drummer Jeff Ball's recent injury.
