Trent Reznor is a musical genius.

Keely, you need to check out the studio cut of "Past The Mission" by Tori Amos. It's an almost-unmarked duet with Trent Reznor and unless you're listening really close, have headphones, or a really exceptional set of speakers, you'll almost never hear him.

Great. Fucking. Track. Period.B| Run, don't walk, to go pick up her Under The Pink CD which has that cut.:)

Tori Amos


You almost cant talk about one with out the other...she too is an amazing writer/musician....

In fact I went thru all my NIN on my Ipod on over to my Tori this afternoon.....:D

If you pay attention on several songs she makes comments to NIN.. :D

I remember one of the Tori shows here in Chicago, she talked about NIN quite abit, and even started jamming HlaH :D

....Caught a lite sneeze
Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you're not here
Boys in their dresses
And you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone.....



One of my favorite songs... :)
I saw her in concert at the Backyard in Austin, and she was absolutely amazing... That was the first time I ever even heard her music! She puts on a great live show! And I don't think I've ever seen so many people dressed like fairies at a concert...

I have that CD, but I never knew it was Trent Reznor doing the backup vocals... So I just listened to it again... Very nice. :)
Edited to say: And now that you've got me listening to that CD again... I must say that "God" and "Space Dog" are really cool songs too.

Yeah, Trent is really amazing..
New album soon..
And I hope we'll hear more material from the Tapeworm project one day.
For those who hadnt heard about this, Maynard (tool/apc) and Trent (NiN) had been working together on an album for a couple of years, but their record companies wouldnt let it be released on Trent's Nothing Records label >:(.
It all sort of fell apart apparently.
One song can be heard on APC's new eMOTIVe album (Passive). It's the only original track on there, and it's pretty good.

But I don't think he'll ever be able to top "The Downward Spiral" - that album is a masterpiece...

:D Traumatized? Not hardly! :D

Listened to one of his CD's on the way up to Gurnee Mills (eeneR can specify which one). I really liked it. I'll be adding it to my collection shortly. Then when we got back to eeneR's house, we watched some of the DVD. Enjoyed the music a lot. Lyrics were entertaining. Gotta get me some of that. B|
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Now if that isnt the biggest understatement of the century :D There are a few songs that do that...but that one is way up there...I have to keep myself in check at work...if I start dancing in my chair...i will cause a major issues :$

I knew Cora would enjoy it.....it really has so many levels to it, and the detail at which they are composed.....;)

eeneR -
I didn't realize that you were a NIN fan, too!

Just read this post....
I've been a NIN fan since "Pretty Hate Machine". Seen NIN 7 times in concert. The best was right before "The Downward Spiral" became popular. NIN puts on a really, really good show.

Trent started as a classical pianist, which is why a lot of music is centered around the keyboards (he starts composing that way). You can hear a lot of that in "Fragile" - there's a lot of classical stuff - he was definitely influenced by Debussy.

He was WAY ahead of his time. In my opinion, "Broken" is the best album. He started Nothing records because he was upset with his recording company, in which "Broken" is the end result. I believe that's why it is so good.

Anyway, I've enjoyed reading the posts. It is good to know that there are so many NIN fans out there!!!

I was just listening to Under the Pink again... and "Past the Mission" came on... and I never really paid much attention to that song before, but after you pointed out that it was Trent Reznor singing with her I always notice it a bit more... he does have that very "whispery" sound on that song, which is quite sexy. :)
Also... I just got the "And All That Could Have Been" DVD... but I don't know anything about easter eggs (never even heard of them until this thread)... what's the deal with those?
