NINE INCH NAILS Further Down The Spiral This remix collection could be cynically perceived as a marketing tool to eke more sales mileage out of The Down ward Spiral, but the actuality is that these deconstructed, souped-up and destroyed interpretations by a bevy of experimental folks are quite engaging, pushing the individual tracks‘ energy quotient further. The lion’s share of the eleven mixes are the work of Coil‘s John Balance and Peter Christopherson, who leave their patented psychotropic mark on everything, notably the chilling “Bottom“ version of “The Downward Spiral,“ and a minute-long electro-Eurofolk take of “Eraser.“ Other guest manipulators include Rick Rubin adding some ‘70s boogie-rock flourishes to “Piggy“; Aphex Twin buzzing, clicking and hammering away at “At The Heart Of It All“; and even Reznor‘s own aural demolition squad.
