The thought of trent making jungle makes some of us who truly love that
music cringe. Mostly because trent reznor makes an idiot of himself with
his ridiculous tortured soul posturing and his oh im so gloomy marketing
gimmicks. I hate to see the music i'm into (aka plug) being associated
with that and brought down to that level.

I've been a big nine inch nails fan since "pretty hate machine". I think
musically it he has a lot of talent. But i agree. Not everything in life is
all gloom and death. I would love, for once, to hear trent write a song
about how happy he was.
<< i guess when richard d james decided to do a drum
and bass track it was ok because its rdj, but if trent reznor decides to
dabble in it he is a leech.>>
these are speedy dn'b breakbeats, without any talent or anything. Anyone can
put out a 300 bpm song and call it drum n' bass but it takes talent to make
it good. "The Perfect Drug" is a perfect example of a guy sitting down and
saying "ok drum n' bass is getting popular and I want to be ahead of my time
so right now I'm going to write a drum n' bass track." when RDJ does a drum
n' bass track it's probly more like "Yeah i've been listening to alot of drum
n' bass and i think I'm gonna incorporate that into my songs, plus my legion
of loyal fans will buy whatever I put out." :-)
oh.. and one other thing: RDJ's drum n' bass is GOOD!!
I hope to god that if the next nine inch nails album is like this that he at
least starts listening to some dn'b and get some real influences ( i said
listening- not signing Plug to your label, Mr. Reznor)
hey- maybe he'll get someone to do it for him
Is RDJ, still doing NIN tracks??
How about this:
make the entire next nine inch nails album really a new richard james album
with trent reznor vocals!
with tiny note at the bottom of each track writh "everything by Richard D.
James"
it worked on two tracks on "further down the spiral" why not try it for a
whole album??
<< It just seems ridiculous. Some people consider finding and creating
samples and beats an artform in itself, DJ Shadow being an excellent
example of this. When Shadow was on Metropolis last Jason Bentley told a
story about how when Shadow was here last time he got up at 5am after
djing all night so he could go to a swap meet to search the old records
for beats.
>>
will shadow find samples for money??
maybe trent should call him up sometimes
