This review is from: I'm Afraid of Americans (Audio CD)

Trent Reznor (and, briefly, drum n' bass artist Photek) takes us on a strange journey through diverse soundscapes. One of his best pet-projects, in my opinion! Bowie's lyrics get a remix treatment they deserve!

This review is from: I'm Afraid of Americans (Audio CD)

As a fan of both David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails, I had high hopes for Trent Reznor's remix of Bowie's hit from Earthling (or is it the original that is remixed by Reznor...) and I was not disappointed. I'm not a huge fan of Ice Cube's appearance on track 3 (or V3, for version 3), but I enjoy the other tracks.

If you are considering making this purchase, please keep in mind: this is not a full length album, it is a remix EP. In other words, it is the same song played six times with variations thrown in. It should not be a surprise to most, but I think that some people don't pick up on the labelling of the tracks as V1, V2, V3 and so on.
