Not to drag this thread out any longer than it has been already, but I think this just about sums it up. I think he probably really does enjoy jungle and wants to make music in this style. So what? I'm glad he's influenced by good artists. Mr. Reznor probably should drop the vocals entirely. It would be interesting to see how his records would do on this basis.

What does this mean? Technique or style? People might not like the way he approaches tunes or the instrumentation he employs, but you can't fault the technique. I've yet to hear someone twist and manipulate sound the way he does (aside from Luke Vibert and Autechre). I would welcome some honest and *specific* criticism of his production technique, not just some simple slag-off. GD
