down in it Only buy this if you are a halo hunter and have to have all 27 halo's in order to be able to sleep at night. Halo 1.
All the songs on here are also on Halo 3, "head like a hole", so if you aren't a halo hunter, skip this one. :).
down in it
its alright, i love Nine inch nails but the three songs really didn't sound different in any way.
NIN Halo 1 Down In It
My advice is to buy the Head Like a Hole single (1990) due to the fact it has remixes of Head Like a Hole of course as well as Terrible Lie and the 3 Down In It remixes that are on the single anyways. This was the first single released (1988) from the Pretty Hate Machine album (1989) pretty much the first single Reznor put out from NIN. Then again if you like to collect each physical release, cool deal.
Maybe short, but still great. NIN rules
Some people say they dont hear much difference from these versions to the version thats on PHM, but they are different. Yes there are only 3 songs on here but they each are different takes on a classic song of the same name. Mostly on the production side of things. The "singe" remix is very different though, it is mostly drum programming and samples. Sort of like trent's version of a rap remix.
This is worth a listen and purchase because it is the HALO that started it all.
angelic resonance
But I can only perceive this as angelic resonance. A lot of people try to write off Nine Inch Nails as noise. The first time I heard Down In It, I was on the beach, in the middle of the night, and I was shaken to the very foundations of my being. I knew instantly what the artist was singing about. . . the loss, the loneliness, the pain of a need so deep he would rather destroy himself than live without it. . . and if there was anything I possibly could have done, I would have done it to ease his suffering.
Listen closely to this music. This is the sound of despair.
I know it intimitely.
