Year Zero Remixed
Yeah, remix albums usually suck especially albums that are already heavy on the electric side, if you get my drift. They typically get really techno-ee and I simply can’t enjoy them.
What originally attracted me to the album was the fact that Olaf Drejier (the dj from the Knife) remixed one of the tracks. I looked into the album a little more only to find out that one of the guys from interpol remixed a couple tracks and Ladytron did a couple tracks. I’m not a huge fan of the NIN, but these artists put a really interesting spin on the album. I might have to buy the non remixed album now.
Here is a link to their Myspace I recommend listening to Great Destroyer.
p.s. Trent Reznor produced Saul Williams last album, no wonder it had such a different sound to it.

I really have an appreciation for NIN because of the way they have helped lead the charge into the digital music revolution. They haven’t been afraid to experiment with new kinds of distribution and I can also appreciate how their sound has changed over time.
I love how they released full on raw garageband files where you could go in and re-mix their music track by track. For free!
