NINE INCH NAILS

Coil / Nine Inch Nails

Recoiled - 2025 Reissue

    These were the unrestrained PRE- BIG studio- mix downs, of four songs which long time Coil admirer / collaborator Trent Reznor requested Coil to remix. Reznor sent over the original multi-tracks and DATs to Hyde / Christopherson, who independently mixed versions and then met to synch both creations, molding them into these master versions.”Recoiled” includes a fuller, more opulent version of the track ‘Closer’, which eventually made it onto the opening credits to the movie “SE7EN“. These 5 lengthy compositions (just under 40 minutes) are pre-Ableton / laptop generation type priest song creations, with the use of baby alarms and numerous wires to create bespoke effects.

    These legendary tracks were always rumoured to exist and, only the due diligence of a dedicated NIN forum who hunted them down, are released/unleashed for your listening pleasure. 4 of the tracks were released on the download-only “Uncoiled”. A bonus, previously unheard track from the same sessions closes the album. Jhonn Balance is also manifest on this gilded constellation. Beautifully remastered.

    Tron: Ares Soundtrack

      Nine Inch Nails returns with over 70 minutes of new music for the motion picture TRON: Ares, the first soundtrack / score work from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross that will live under the Nine Inch Nails moniker; consisting of all original music, complete at 24 tracks. Reznor and Ross bring their Grammy and Oscar-winning sonic vision to the Grid, crafting a soundtrack that hums with menace, melancholy, and momentum. More than an album, its architecture in sound: pulsating synths, distorted textures, and haunting melodies that rewire the TRON universe from the inside out. It is the collision of analog soul and digital dread—a score that doesn't just accompany the film, it possesses it.

      STAFF COMMENTS

      Barry says: Another roaring suite of cinematic thuds and industrial riffage from one of the greatest musicians in all of recorded music, Trent Reznor. If you haven't heard his soundtrack to Tron yet, you need to and if you have, well you know what this holds. Superb.

      Alive As You Need Me To Be

        Nine Inch Nails returns with their new single 'As Alive As You Need Me To Be' taken from the motion picture TRON: Ares. Pressed on black vinyl. Features the B-Side 'Empathetic Response'.

        STAFF COMMENTS

        Barry says: A particularly thumping cut from the upcoming film Tron : Ares soundtracked by the untouchable Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. It's very Quakey in theme, lots of driving rhythms and clean lines, but honestly it's classic Trent all the way through. Always essential.

        The Downward Spiral - 2017 Reissue

          The definitive 2LP version of The Downward Spiral, meticulously prepared by Trent Reznor.

          The Downward Spiral is a visceral, haunting concept album, telling the story of a mans descent into despair and depravity, modeled on Trent Reznor, the sole member of Nine Inch Nails. This despair is evident from the beginning, with the album opening with Mr Self Destruct, a song that displays Reznors trademark whisper / scream vocal dynamic throughout, before segueing into the bass-heavy piggy, with an almost chant like refrain of "nothing can stop me now / cause i don't care anymore". The bleakness of life that the Downward Spiral presents is shown through tales of self-loathing and sexual deviancy, subjects that have fueled many of Nine Inch Nails greatest songs, Including the infamous Closer. An MTV hit that has become greatly misconstrued as a song simply about sex, it is the embodiment of the escapism and nihilistic tendencies that are present in every second of this album. The textured soundscapes that Reznor creates help to form an experience that every listener longs for with an album; the music sounds insurmountably huge, with the vocals emerging from layers of distorted sounds and blank noise ambience, shown most prominently on eraser. While the album may be almost entirely desolate, the way Reznor crafts the songs with unflinching honesty and sonic precision make it such a pleasure to hear. On multiple listens, a new sound is picked up each time, or a lyric might have a different meaning than what you first thought.

          The Fragile - 2017 Reissue

            The Fragile is the third studio album by Nine Inch nails originally released on September 21, 1999. The music on the album spans almost 104 minutes, and in some ways, resembles a Greatest Hits album, incorporating the varying styles of Reznor's earlier work with new ideas and instrumentations. The Day the World Went Away utilizes the brooding wounded vocals and heavy contrast found in songs like Hurt, but with even sharper changes in volume. The Marilyn Manson-like power chords and skittery drums on Starfuckers, inc. evoke memories of the tremendous Broken EP. Tori Amos influence is inherent in short transition track, The Frail, and shades of God Lives Under Water show up in Just Like You Imagined.

            Nine Inch Nails new full-length Bad Witch completes the trilogy that began with 2016’s Not The Actual Events and 2017’s Add Violence. 

            We kick things off in spectacular style, with 'Shit Mirror' echoing the early days of NIN, all perilous ambient distortions and thumping machinated drums, while retaining the momentous drive of their later records. 'Ahead Of Ourselves' features Reznor's vox twisted out of all proportion, with a wizened percussive detritus trailing behind before snapping into a cutthroat about-turn into the trademark fuzzed-out static redux we've come to expect from them 

            'Play The Goddamned Part' on the other hand is much more reminiscent of the scattered but cohesive ambience of their greatest full-scope cinematic epic, 'The Fragile, scattered insectile stutters and electronic static underpins the oft-uncomfortable dissonance of a chorus of horns and jazzed-out abstractions.  

            Flipping over, we get a continuation of the horn-filled dissonance, but pulled along by a frenetic resonant saw-wave, lending an acidic undertone and momentous drive to proceedings before breaking down into a bleak and uncompromising closing duo of the full-spectrum gothic gloom of 'I'm Not From This World' and the twinkling syncopated shuffle of the chillingly deep 'Over And Out'.

            Pretty Hate Machine - 2011 Reissue

              Although Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor became the poster boy for industrial rock in the early 1990s, his '89 debut, "Pretty Hate Machine", actually has a stronger foothold in '80s synth-pop. The guitar-heavy opener, "Head Like a Hole," is the most aggressive track on the album and proved to be the signature song for Reznor's initial breakthrough, but much of the disc sounds like Depeche Mode in a particularly bad mood. All of the tracks on "Pretty Hate Machine" are based on synthesizer lines and programmed beats, with other elements - such as the distinctive bass on "Sanctified" and sampled explosions on "That's What I Get" - filling out the sound. Despite Reznor's morose lyrics, a number of  "Pretty Hate Machine"s finest moments are energetic dance tunes, particularly "Down in It" and the surging "Sin". Oddly enough, Reznor's fiercer - and seemingly less accessible - subsequent work (the "Broken" EP and "The Downward Spiral") led directly to his mainstream success, but "Pretty Hate Machine" reveals where the Nine Inch Nails aesthetic started out.
