Songs like "A Warm Place" and "Reptile" or even "Eraser" had such a feel to
them that they became seperated from both electronica and rock and were their
own creature. I own ever damned single, album, and/or EP that NIN's ever put
out and I rarely listen to it anymore...which is kinda sad cause i invested
so much time at the age of 13 and 14 finding that stuff.... I still think
--Broken-- and --The Downward Spiral--- are the best things NIN ever did....
TDS is actually what turned me on to Coil who, in turn, turned me on to
Current 93, Nurse With Wound, Orbital, Foetus, The Orb, and the list goes on
and on...
But go back and listen to songs like "Ruiner" or "The Becoming..." Those
sounds STILL sound alien and strange to me, so exotic and almost
frightening...."The Downward Spiral" as a whole has a wonderfully creepy
feeling....I don't mind the guitars so much since they were so effectively
used...But look at "The Becoming!" One of my favorite tracks without much
guitar at all...just 7/8 time (i think, is it 13/8? something strange like
that) some wonderfully foreign screaming sounds, a synth, and some piano...
wild stuff...wish he could break ground like that more again!
