PERSONAL FAVES.
GOD SHUFFLED HIS FEET

KEITH KORNELUK
FURTHER DOWNWARD SPIRAL
NINE INCH NAILS
1995
NOTHING
JUST A RE-MIX OF DOWNWARD SPIRAL.  IT ADDS MORE TIME WITH NEW
SYNTHESISED MUSIC.  A NEW "QUIET" VERSION OF THE ALREADY-
UNBELIEVABLE SONG 'HURT'.  NOT NIN'S BEST ALBUM BUT GOOD.

THROWING COPPER

A VALIANT EFFORT TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE
NIRVANA.  LIVE'S 'THROWING COPPER' HAS SOME GREAT SONGS, THE
VOCALIST HAS A DECENT VOICE BUT NOTHING SPECIAL ON THE DRUMS.
