i can't think of an instance when anyone ever mentioned tweaker (aka chris vrenna, formerly of nin) on this board. i think his debut album is really good (and for the electronica snobs, it's idm). i'm not huge on the vocals (provided by people like david sylvian and the singer from shudder to think) but the tracks themselves are hotness. check out the official web site, he's very generous with full mp3 downloads: |

do a search and u'll find that i already beat you to it :). I just recently submitted a remix to his contest. And know him through only 2 degrees of seperation (counting myself). anyways, expirmental has never beeen in the mainstream spotlight before vrenna. My hat goes off to him. |

you had to do "microsize boy" right? i like that song but it'd be cool if he let you remix other tracks. how do you know him? he seems really cool. |

back when i obsessed over making music, i met a Justin Lassen (Digital Dirt Heads), and we did some collabs. he then moved to new york, while my life fell apart repetedly, and caused my music to halt. He kept with his producing, and met up with garbage, whom butch vig then introduced him to vrenna. Justin e-mails me perodically, with larfs asking me to move to NY, and start anew. But I have to many commintments here in seattle. Justin, i think, is remixing "take me alive," for the upcoming DVD. |

I had downloaded the samples for that contest, but I didn't really like the them, so I didn't do a remix. I'll check out that Tweaker, though. |

i bought his album the day it was released. being a huge nin fan, i just had to try his album, and i already knew that he was going in a more experimental-idm path (i think he mentioned autechre in some interview). although his album is good, i rarely play it anymore. got somewhat tired of it... but like someone said before me in this thread, he's bringing idm to the masses (not that it's made that much of an impact...). |

Tweaker is good. I like Full Cup of Coffee and Empty Sheet of Paper. The vocal tracks are good too, but it takes a while to get used to them. |

the guitar is excellent. I didnt' knwo that vrenna could play. did he hire someone to play those riffs? the overall programming is decent too, nice sharp ending. |

yea isn't it great? vrenna is a multi-instrumentalist, i bet he played the guitar lick himself. |
