NINE INCH NOIZE is the collaborative project of Trent Reznor‘s
industrial rock turbine NINE INCH NAILS and German acid house
DJ BOYS NOIZE.
They did/do a series of shows together, with the most
recent one, last weekend at Coachella festival.
And today their first, self-named longplayer is out.
The album consists of re-recorded and reworked versions of songs by NIN, a new version of Memorabilia, a song by legendary British electro pop act Soft Cell they had previously covered, and a cover of a song by Reznor and Ross‘s side-project, How To Destroy Angels. It features a mix of live and studio recordings.
Reznor: “The creative fulfilment of working on the Challengers and Tron scores with
Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the Peel It Back tour could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live — a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time. The result was so much fun for us we felt it was worth expanding and formalizing
in some way.”
“The album was recorded “all over the place, some of it’s live, some in studios,
hotels, planes, etc. We had a lot of fun revisiting these songs and hope you enjoy.”
TUTV: NIN + Boys Noize = Nin Inch Noiz = UNDERWORLD.
