Album Description:
NINE INCH NAILS: Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D

YEAR ZERO ALBUM REMIXED: STEPHEN MORRIS, BILL LASWELL, KRONOS QUARTET, SAUL WILLIAMS, OLOF DREIJER, THE FAINT AND MORE

REMIX IT YOURSELF: EVERY MASTER MULTI-TRACK MADE AVAILABLE

"I'm very pleased with the way it turned out," says Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails' Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D (Interscope Records)."Remix records can be disposable garbage (of which I myself have been guilty to some extent) but this collection feels good to me."

Spun off from Year Zero, the #2-charting album issued in the spring, Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D features a stunning diversity of remixers, from Joy Division and New Order's Stephen Morris to classical crossover pioneer Kronos Quartet and hip-hop poet Saul Williams; from avant-garde leader Bill Laswell, electronica's Olof Dreijer from The Knife, Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino and post-punk revivalists The Faint to an unknown fan who submitted a remix via the Internet.

"I reached out to heroes, friends and strangers," says Reznor."I encouraged those I approached to do anything and insert themselves as much as possible into the track.Some of the stuff that was done earlier led me to choosing other people to balance things out.The Pirate Robot Midget mix is a fan's work--I thought it was great, it filled a need and I asked permission to use it here.It's always interesting for me to hear my work reinterpreted--I hope it is for you as well."

In fact, purchasers can even reinterpret and remix Year Zero themselves.The CD package for Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D includes a DVD-ROM containing every track from Year Zero in multi-track format (Mac and PC).Perhaps for the first time, the master multi-tracks for every recording on a major album are being made available to the public.The tracks are pre-formatted for Apple GarageBand and Ableton Live (Mac or PC); the DVD-ROM also adds the demo version of Ableton Live (Mac or PC) and generic WAVE files at 16 bit 44K that can be loaded into any audio editor.

A special Web site, remix.nin.com, will debut upon Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D's release date.Says Reznor,"Remixes and fun encouraged."

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great music - awesome fun remixing in Reaper
Nine Inch Nails have been doing high quality music for a long time. They have always been innovative in their approach. Publishing the source files for other musicians to remix is just another example of the forward thinking and experimetal attitude of this band. Great stuff guys! Luv ya work!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - That'll Do, Pig... That'll Do!!!
Trent, aka NIN, moves me body and soul with his music, always has, because just as with my kids, I love every album, just differently because they are all inherently different though part of the same family.And they are DELICIOUS!!Then to hear takes of the songs through others' ears and souls, WOW, some really cool stuff, though, they are always starting with really good stuff to begin with, right?!:-)Thanks, Trent, for another best in the continuing Halo saga...Yum...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Only for fans of Year Zero; worthwhile for them, though.
I don't usually listen to remixes. But I think Year Zero is the best NIN album to date, so I took a chance on Year Zero Remixed. Unlike NIN's other remix albums, where Trent Reznor mostly did his own remixing, the arrangements here are all by other artists (though some of them are closely associated with NIN, like Saul Williams or Alessandro Cortini's Modwheelmood). The results are about as good as you could hope for -- pretty uneven, but with a few startlingly good parts.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reworking a Masterpiece
A collection of excellent remixes of already excellent songs. The highlights include The Great Destroyer remix, Meet Your Master remix, and My Violent Heart remix. Buy it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Remix
I have been listening to NIN since I was a teenager and I have to say their music has an acquired taste.I like this remix album.It has great samples and beats to enhance the original tracks.My favorite is Capitol G.It has an electronic/trance sound to it that really gets me going.It is great for listening to while on the treadmill also.
