(semi-OT) NIN Remix

A lot of you probably know that NIN released the source files to "The Hand That Feeds" on their website recently. Since someone was kind enough to supply a PC-format conversion for me, I could hardly miss the opportunity to mutilate it.
I was going to call it "pre-done" (i.e. structurally finished but awaiting a bit of polish) but unfortunately I lost the FLP file when my E: drive crashed, so I'm calling it done. Probably for the best, really -- otherwise I'd go on fiddling for weeks until I hate it and don't want to hear it anymore.
Side note: This will probably hit your subwoofer pretty good, so turn it down or up as your tastes dictate.
Other side note: I haven't actually heard the real song yet. I leave it to you to decide if that's a good or bad thing.

edit: never mind, figured it out, go internet!
wowzers, just went and listened to some of those on the NIN site.. man theres some boring remixes. and besides.. thats a pretty generic and noninteresting song to start with. hmm have not listened to much NIN since downward spiral, when did he start going sour?
A lot of people thought 'The Fragile' was shit, because it wasn't very hard, but i thought that one was brilliant.
And then again, The Downward Spiral was apparantly "NIN's worst album" when it came out as well.
This song is just overly poppy, and most people can't stand that, but i got used to it, and now i quite like the song, poppy as it may be.

you can listen to the entire album there.
Sini: Fair enough. You're the not the first person to complain about that and I can see why it would be annoying to some. I wanted to use Trent's vocals (since they are a large part of NIN's signature sound) but I didn't want to use his lyrics, which I found painfully cheesy. I'm a big fan of glitch techno so this seemed like a good solution.
On a side note, I just got back from his show in SF at the Warfield, an my head is still ringing. Fucking fantastic stuff, and I'm so glad he chose smaller venues for this tour. If he's coming to your town, go grab some tickets off of ebay, you wont be
Over 10 years I listen Nine Inch Nails and all what I can say is : Thank You Mr. Reznor share out Your world of suffering. ... go on.
