What I hope and presume this means -- yes, it's *your* chance for Trent Reznor a capellas to be mashed-up over dink-synth-pop loops. Be on the cutting edge of 2001!

I admire the guy for everything but his (recent) music.

Hopefully it's pulled off better than that Nurse With Wound "remix it yourself" experiment.

Still on Interscope, so no innovative release experiments like he did with Saul Williams or anti-label f*ck you like he did with the Broken and Closure DVD torrents - according to that wikipedia article this is the final contractual obligation before he left.

Still, there are some decent-to-exciting names in that list (Fennesz!) and I must admit I'm looking forward to fiddling around with the multitracks. Hopefully this will turn out closer to Further Down the Spiral than Things Fall Apart.

Okay I am totally geeked that half of New Order is remixing some of this stuff.
I listened to Year Zero again for the first time in several months and it actually clicked! I was pleasantly surprised.

ok, this is pretty great.

Lol, Universal.

(in short: letting fans download the individual tracks of his songs for remixing is okay, hosting the fans' remixes is a DMCA violation, so the remix site stays offline)
go trent.

Picked up the remix disc, like it well enough so far. Pirate Robot Midget of "My Violent Heart" = pretty good!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 January 2008 16:29 (sixteen years ago) link
So I've been playing the shit out of this remix disc because it is mind-bogglingly superior to the original album on almost every level. "The Great Destroyer" and "Capital G" on here are so fucking tough.

I need to give it a relisten. Great way to kiss off the majors at least.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 21:34 (fifteen years ago) link
i never heard this but i downloaded a 24GB Nine Inch Nails file with everything you can imagine on it.Took about 2 months to get it all.They were amazing in concert this time around but didn't draw a very big crowd.Glad i went.Anyway i'm on to listen to the remix thing.
― captain groovy, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 23:09 (fifteen years ago) link
more people need to listen to this remix album to revel in its glory with me
I will freely admit the original version of "God Given" is way more effective, though

Year Zero is my least favorite NIN album and I don't care about the remixers on this. Should I bother anyway?
― dumb pseud (some dude), Friday, 21 November 2008 21:28 (fifteen years ago) link
several months later, but YES (esp. "The Great Destroyer" and "Capital G")
― Four-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! (HI DERE), Monday, 3 August 2009 15:51 (fourteen years ago) link
so a random song came on the Last.fm station I created based on my Sony music festival and I am sitting here going "who is this super cool A Perfect Circle tribute band, this is a v v pretty song" and it is Modwheelmood, the dudes who did my favorite remix on the Year Zero remix album

Trent Reznor says HBO and BBC Worldwide Productions are moving forward with the development of “Year Zero,” the grim sci-fi epic that Reznor has chronicled in his music as well as in a celebrated Alternate Reality Game (ARG).“We are in [the development phase of] pre-production with HBO and BBC [Worldwide Productions] to do a miniseries,” Reznor said Monday. “It’s exciting. I probably shouldn’t say too much about it except that I understand that there’s a thousand hurdles before anything shows up in your TV listing. It’s been an interesting and very educational process and it cleared the HBO hurdle a few months ago and now we’re writing drafts back and forth. So it’s very much alive and incubating at the moment.”

btw this album is great

Yes! I always had a soft spot for Capital G even though it’s dated af lyrically now but My Violent Heart and Survivalism are still up there.
― gyac, Thursday, 17 October 2019 17:19 (four years ago) link
Also, The Great Destroyer

The Fennesz remix of In This Twilight is all time for me. Should have been the version on the album proper imho
― octobeard, Saturday, 19 October 2019 21:43 (four years ago) link
Yeah I think I liked the remix album better than the original
