Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition (Halo 08DE), released in 2004 is packed with a load of extra goodies that the original does not have. The Deluxe Edition of this album is a 2 disc set. On the second disc is one of my favorite NIN songs: "A Violet Fluid". Originally from the "March of the Pigs" single this song is an instrumental tidbit made by Trent and his multi-talented buddies that goes largely overlooked. Except by me. The March of the Pigs single was the first single I ever bought of Nine Inch Nails' so I listened to it a lot, and as you may well know there are a lot of NIN singles to be found. I have always liked The Downward Spiral from the first time I heard it. "A Violet Fluid" just didn't make it to the final cut. Since it showed up as a b-side to "March of the Pigs" though, I just happened to get my hands on it. Pick this album up and check out some songs you may not have heard before.
Another top 10 favorite for me. I wish Trent could still create shit as awesome as this. Sure Ogre called this album "Cock Rock"....I call that sour grapes. Sorry Ogre.
