Artist: Album: Track:



Ghosts I-IV is a two hour collection instrumentals divided into 4 volumes -- the first of which is available for free here: http://ghosts.nin.com/main/order_options

NIN instrumentals. Not much else needs to be said, it's a given that they're probably gonna be sweet - and they are. All the sounds are typical of NIN. Except one, the guitar sound in track 5... this surfer/western/spy (clean w/ chorus, short delay) thing. It's cool, but I can't remember anything NIN-related that ever used that sound (unless you count NBK).



I only have the first volume, and after a day of listening I don't really have anything negative to say about it... well, ok.. maybe a few things.

Track 8: loud and distorted, but ultimately sterile.
Track 7: not bad, just a little... boring - like the ending of 'The Great Destroyer'... a little too rigid, a little too generic... kinda just falls flat.
Track 6: probably could have benefited from dropping that loop at some point and then reintroducing it later in the song.

but that's it... so, unless the other 3 volumes are totally unlistenable, this could become one of my favorite NIN albums.

Finally had a chance to listen to this a little today. Reminds me of the Fight Club OST.

fight club: the movie that sent droves of clueless college kids out to buy doolittle, not realizing that 'the song from fight club' is on surfer rosa.

i don't really have anything to say about the movie itself, but i can't forgive exploiting one of the pixies' best songs. of course, there's two sides to it... i'm pretty sure the surge in popularity was responsible for their reunion back in 2003 - which was the first chance i had to see them live.

The song didn't even make the soundtrack. Even with the reunion, I still never had a chance to see them live. I was fortunate enough to catch Frank Black on a solo tour he did and heard him "cover" some Pixies tunes.

I liked the work the Dust Brothers did for FC. I always thought it was strange that they pegged a Pixies song to the end of the movie though; especially considering it was the only music in the whole film that wasn't done by the Dust Brothers.

Artist: Album: Rainydayz Remixes Track: Nudez


Rainydayz Remixes is composed exclusively of source material pulled from In Rainbows, re-envisioned by Amplive and complimented by vocal work from Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, Codany Holiday, and Del The Funky Homosapien.

I've only listened through once, but Nudez (ft. Too $hort & MC Zumbi of Zion-I) stands out immediately. I'll have to listen a few more times before I can really say anything about the album as a whole... so far only 3-4 of the 8 tracks are really working for me...

Sounds really great. I downloaded yesterday but haven't had a chance to listen yet. It's funny cause I didn't get the free Radiohead album but I did get this. I love how atmospheric this sounds.

Artist: Album: Track: The OwI in Daylight


Being a "best of" compilation, I guess this album wouldn't have been included had I made a proper top ____ of 2007 list... it's still better than a lot of stuff that was released last year.



Path of Most Resistance is a decent mix of tracks from Book of Horizons, Book M, Second Grand Constitution And Bylaws and Eyes of Flesh, Eyes of Flame - with a couple "rarities" tacked on to the end. Though, I think they ignored some good tracks from Book M, while including some mediocre ones (like Zulfiqar III). All in all, not a bad representation of their work, but I think I would suggest BoH as an introduction to it.
