Nine Inch Nails releases

But my favorite is the Downward Spiral.

What he said!

Ew, put that away.

(You mean aside from that whole debut at number 2 thing, right?)

MAAAAAAAAAYBE, maybe JUST ONCE, I'll GET what's COMING to MEEEEEEEEEE.

well that includes me, so here we are.

1. Perfect Drug single / Lost Highway soundtrack (probably in my top 5 songs ever)
2. Broken
3. Fixed
4. Pretty Hate Machine
5. The Downward Spiral

I do not rate The Fragile; it is okay, but I do not own it and would not ever like to hear it again. And Things Falling Apart should be DESTROYED DESTROYED DESTROYED! omg soooo bad.

I agree that the Perfect Drug is definitely one of their best tunes (damn, Trent would have become a jungle producer...).

D'oh! I paid way too much for that disc back in high school & upon listening even as a massive fan was like.. WTF???? However I did make a profit reselling it several years later to some random NIN obsessive in Japan.

I think "March of the Pigs" is my favorite moment of theirs. The video's pretty funny..

B-but what about the double time, 4 on the floor gospel bit?

That performance is a hidden track on the DVD. Good stuff.

wonder if the instrumental release of the fragile is close enough to the one with vocals to extract out the vocal track

I might be able to get the vocal stems from Year Zero, I think I have that disc floating around somewhere

i will check out the fragile. some instrumental releases are subtly timestretched to make center channel cancellation fail.

Simon, if u can find stems, i'd love to have them. just email me; my address is in my profile. thanks y'all!

It won’t be perfect, but I’ve had good results using this AI tool which creates stems from existing audio

davey, you got mail!

wau! thank u simon. idk if i'm gonna be able to make more disco trent very soon—kinda want to work on some more original stuff—but receiving all these trent vocals puts a glimmer in my eye.

Very nice!

Ghosts V-VI now available as a free download:

https://www.nin.com

Listening now -- I am all about the extended sad ambience.

guessing the website is struggling with demand, as i get a 404 error when clicking on the link in the email

Listening to the supposedly noisier one now. I don't hear a vast difference between it and the quiet/pretty one.

If and when CD versions are made available, I will buy them, but mostly for completion's sake.

Locusts definitely more stressful and abrasive on a cursory listen. I turned it off after a few tracks, not in the headspace.

Listened to all of Together, on the other hand. Nice and moody, but I doubt I'll ever go back to it.

"letting go while holding on" is p incredible imo

download's still not working for me :(

likewise.

They just sent an email to their list, so the links are probably getting slammed.

Both albums are on Spotify now, as well as still being on YouTube. I plan on listening on Spotify a few times and downloading when the servers are seeing less traffic.

I just soulseeked it

I've actually paid for stuff on Bandcamp and then downloaded it via soulseek cuz I didn't wanna deal with WinRAR. I am a profoundly lazy person.

The email they just sent has a direct link to a new download location. Sounds like they gave up

winrar? why are you using that for zip files?

good question! the only zip files I ever download are from bandcamp and WinRAR is just what I have installed

wild

7-zip dude

Yep.

blimey - all these zip applications that i have not thought about in years now that W10 just deals with zips.
re NiN : grabbed it via a wetransfer link posted on another board.

windows 10's support works ok as long as it's not a zip with a ton of files or high compression -- so, good enough for 90% of cases

― frogbs,

This reminds me how I pay for Prime but I torrent loads of stuff that's on Prime Video cos that's the only way I can figure out how to get it on my big telly.

my main feeling is that these records are incredible

"with faith" when that vangelis synth comes in...

the trumpet is the star of locusts

also locusts is one of the best things trent's ever done?

are these better than the first 4 volumes? I dug those but haven't exactly been clamoring to break em out again

i love the og ghosts but these volumes are far more fleshed out and their own thing

Together was kinda wallpaper-y to me but maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it. Haven't made it all the way through Locusts yet.

Locusts sounds a lot more soothing than Together to me (also agree it's one of the best things he's done). One of the tracks on Together has this really high frequency tone overlaid on top that's bad enough that I have to skip it.

I tend to play my music on album-shuffle, so I never quite know what I'm going to get. My wife was chilling on the sofa by the stereo speakers while I think something mellow like Can's "Soon Over Babaluma" was playing, but then things got a little quiet and I couldn't quite make out what had queued up next. I look at what's about to play on my phone and see it's "The Downward Spiral" about to blargh out, so I quickly hit skip. "That was a close one," I told her. "You almost got Nine Inch Nailed!"

Here's a question: is there anywhere that lists all the appearances of what one might call the "NIN motif"?

(Skip to 3:50 in this Ladytron remix for reference.)

I think of that as the "Downward Spiral Theme".

Trent hasn't used it himself in anything outside the titular album, has he?

Yeah that was a really lovely moment from last night. The version of "Fashion" with Mariqueen also excellent.

holy cow Trent sounds so good!!

mike garson is so cool

heartening—after watching him complain about his own voice in the nin song exploder episode, always wishing he sounded like bowie instead—to hear him hit that sustained note in "fantastic voyage"

F*ck, well it is footage recently surfaced of NIN at Woodstock before the performance, shit-talking the other acts and discussing where the best mud might be at.

"We're having trouble finding private mud..."

That could be a Spinal Tap line.

I'd rather listen to "vletrmx21" to "A Warm Place," thanks.

Wouldn't surprise me if that track was also a reference point. Trent was deep into the Warp stuff early
