Nine Inch Nails - Zoo Station (U2 Cover)
Nine Inch Nails - Capital G (AllyPitty Classical Mix)
Jane’s Addiction - Sex Is Violent
from the Natural Born Killers soundtrack
I love that Trent Reznor injected a hefty dose of Diamanda Galas right into the middle of this.
I bought this record the day it was released, which was about a month before the film hit theaters. Hearing all of this eclectic music, edited, remixed and twisted around some of the film’s most outlandish dialogue, was a bit of a revelation. It wasn’t a score, and it wasn’t quite a soundtrack, either. It wasn’t an accompaniment. It was the film, on a little plastic audio disc. I ultimately enjoyed the film, but the magic I saw onscreen never quite matched the madness I heard in my headphones.
Nine Inch Nails - Where Is Everybody? (Version)
Remixed by Danny Lohner w/ Telefon Tel Aviv
from Things Falling Apart
I listened to this track over and over and over when it came out.
Nine Inch Nails - Leaving Hope
from Still
If you dig Reznor’s Social Network stuff, you’ll probably enjoy this. Still is a collection of previously homeless NIN work and this particular track was likely intended for use in the film One Hour Photo.
Nine Inch Nais - Just Like You Imagined (Live @ Henry Fonda Theater, LA 09.08.09)
Crank it and listen to Mike Garson tear it up on piano. In addition to decades of work as a live performer and studio musician, Garson has been a frequent Bowie collaborator for decades and has more recently worked with Smashing Pumpkins, NIN and The Dillinger Escape Plan. It takes someone with that sort of pedigree to hold their own on NIN’s stage when armed with only an acoustic instrument.
When you’re done watching this, check out what he can do with some Bach and some Besame Mucho.
Nine Inch Nails - Looking Forward To Joining You Finally
from The Fragile
The Fragile comes after another five-year wait, and a lot has changed in the interim: the return of boy bands, funk-metal, the further rise of techno. So where does Nine Inch Nails fit into all of this? If there’s one thing Reznor has proven by now, it’s that he’s got nothing left to prove. Consequently, the sheer bulk of The Fragile is an indulgence of the best kind, the product of a songwriter relieved of commercial pressure and let loose to explore his home studio. A whopping double-disc set, The Fragile—an organic, listenable, and always interesting cross between Black Sabbath and Tori Amos—somehow justifies its 104-minute length. Reznor enlisted veteran producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd’s The Wall, Lou Reed’s Berlin) to sequence the album, and if Reznor’s woe-is-me lyrics are still depressingly one-note—it’s best to just ignore them—the songs do flow together like a concept album. Sonically, The Fragile is a little less dense than The Downward Spiral, exploring a greater range of texture and dynamics while maintaining Reznor’s trademark gloom.
And just to remind you how long ago 1999 was, this Washington Post review includes a phone number you can call to listen to a sample of the record.

Nine Inch Nails - Get Down Make Love
from Pretty Hate Machine [11/2010 Remaster]
A Queen cover originally found on the the Sin single’s B-side.
This was produced by Al Jourgensen and sounds similar to what was happening on the Wax Trax! label at the time. It’s the noisier younger brother of the other Jourgensen-Reznor collaboration, 1000 Homo DJs’ cover of Black Sabbath’s Supernaut.
