nin 'beauty of being numb' remix

Hi, just thought I'd mention that the above remix which is
listed in the remix section of the site was not actually
featured on v2 of Halo 10. It was only featured on the first
release of it, which has a closer view of the spiral on the
albums cover.

Okay, so maybe I'm being picky :P

Doug

I still remember hearing The Beauty of Being Numb and At The
Heart Of It All for the first time and being completely
blown away. It was during a tough time in my life, and
ironically, it's come almost full circle and I'm there
again...think I'll listen to those two tracks, now.

har har.. hmm, anyway.. yeah. I'm not sure where else
version 2 of the album was released.. but here in Australia
version 1 is hard to come by (import) and version 2 is
everywhere.

In the US both are rather v1 is easy being as it is the US
version, but I found and bought v2 sometime in 1995...

At the time they were released v1 was the US edition and v2
was the UK (Island Records) edition. The US edition had both
AFX tracks - the UK edition was missing one, strangely
enough.

i have both afx trax so it is V1 i have.
that's how i found out about AFX!
i was like,'this song is the raddest next to inthe heart of
it all, i gotta check the liner notes!'
'who the fuck is afx twin and why the fuck is he on my NIN
record?'

v1 - north america
v2 - europe

i love the v1 release, it's what made me discover aphex,
which, afterwards, made me discover the almighty autechre.

i've never really heard nin i was put off by the moaning guy
that sings and the fact it mainly sounds like rock done by
synthesisers - i don't really enjoy much rock apart from
when it's realy fucking primitive sounding and tribal like
shellac or something

yeah v2 has the "ruiner" version mix, which I absolutely
love.
I dunno if v2 has that mix of "the downward spiral" with
that weird percussion with lots of phaser on it....oooohh I
love that song. it's so green :)

I got into Autechre before I got into Aphex, oddly enough.
the Aphex NIN remixes are wonderful though. especially "at
the heart of it all"

actually, both aphex tracks arent remixes of nin songs.
theyre 100% aphex. he was supposed to hand trent some
remixes, but didnt bother remixing, and tried to fool him by
giving him two random tracks he made. didnt fool trent, but
he decided to include both tracks on v1 (v2 only had 'at the
heart of it all' i believe).

I always thought Eraser (Polite) was a great track too.

At the Heart of it All is the best track on that cd...
But I got into Aphex in 94 with SAWII...

I must admit to I haven't heard much NIN (the only CD I've
got is the one with AFX on it)...odd, I know, as a lot of
people I know & respect are always banging on about em...

But major props to Trent for including these 2 tracks on the
album...I've lost count of the number of people who've been
introduced to AFX this way....

(What's peoples verdict of a good intro album to NIN?...for
a complete NIN newbie...)

important and really fantastic trents release

i'd say the fragile, though it is quite a departure from
their previous material.
and pick up 'still', which is the latest and only available
on their site.
you can actually go and see the performances live>they are
accoustic if you can believe that wit piano and accoustic
guitar!
beatiful work> i've dled them about 143 times each according
to my dl manager!

The Downward Spiral is my favorite, but I don't know if it's
a good intro album, unless you're predisposed to loud
electro/industrial type music. No, I'm full of shit, because
that was the first NiN album I had and I definitely wasn't
predisposed to that kind of music and I still ended up
loving it, so yeah, go with The Downward Spiral.

I still say their best albumn was Pretty hate
machine.......Downward Spiral was an arse kicker but I love
"Up Above It" and the old fave "That's What I Get"....
But "Closer" IS audio sex!

i used to listen to "At The Heart of It All" all the time on
repeat on my CD player, this was when i was getting into
Aphex Twin for the first time back in 99-2000. i loved it. i
think that track and a couple of his other ambient type
things got me to put ambient/abstrack noises into a bunch of
my own tracks. I am so jealous that RDJ makes such great
mixes! ^_^ he is a genious.
