this sounds very NIN-esque.... was Trent Reznor involved in some way?

also, at the very end should have faded to black then said,
"Shot on iPhone"

Given the logo, they really screwed up not having Trent Reznor do the soundtrack.

Greetings to you in Columbus from Canton. Ohio does have a decent rock history beyond just the rock hall... Chrissie Hynde, DEVO, Trent Reznor (technically from PA, but his NIN project started in Cleveland, so I count him as Ohio), Marilyn Manson, and Black Keys just to name ones off the top of my head... John Legend... of course there's also Dean Martin but he's not rock... I know there's more... I was last in Columbus for the 4th of July for the Columbus Crew game that day.

If you like this, I recommend the Niggy Tardust album he did with Trent Reznor.

This is not a very good parody of Broken. So, Trent Reznor is bigger than this, I guess.

Blast... got me by 16 1/2 hours. I saw that as a recommended link while watching a High Flying Birds song and thought that sounds like an interesting band name, I'll listen to them. Then while listening I looked them up and saw, oh yeah, I remember them, Trent Reznor's new band, but with his wife singing.

The sweet sound of just about anything getting gibbed in Quake 1, bonus points for pasting something in low gravity and watching the bloody bits tumble all over the place. Somebody needs to get Trent Reznor to do sound effects for another game.

oh man.. That quake 1 jump noise. takes me back to way too much time in quakeworld



I loved that zero gravity map!

The guys Trent Reznor's referring to in this video are these guys ^. They made some of the kit he used for The Social Network soundtrack.

Squarepusher is anything but new.

He was pioneering what would soon become "electronica" when Trent was still pushing his hot-topic centric electronic angst rock.

Tom Jenkinson (aka Squarepusher) along with Aphex and Autechre, basically created IDM (which turned into "electronica" once stupid marketing losers in the US got hold of it) back in the early 90's. He's got a shitload of releases and is one of the most influential electronic musicians of all time.

And dont get me started on the shitstorm that is Daft Punk. First of all, they came well after underground electronic music was already a global phenomenon, and second, their special blend of stealing other ppls music and putting a weak house beat underneath is pure garbage by most music snobs standards. To even mention them in a thread about Squarepusher is sacrilege.

It reminds me of when people in the past used to ask me for good examples of electronic type music. I used to use The Fragile (two-disc album by NiN, if you don't have it do yourself a favor and get it) as an example for it (at the time Massive Attack was great as was Sneaker Pimps, but I was aiming for something U.S. centric), though I had to remind them that "The Fragile" was really a mix of rock and electronic. But, there are some tracks on "The Fragile" that ARE electronic(a). The track used for the very popular 300 trailer (you could say due to that track--if you haven't heard the song do yourself a favor and go listen now), "Just Like You Imagined" really helped showcase Trent Reznor's ability in electronic(a).
This was again proved when he won (with the great Atticus Ross as well) best musical score for The Social Network, which was essentially an entirely electronic album (Tron:Legacy of the same year included a soundtrack that was also electronic by the ever popular Daft Punk).
It's some of these past masters in this music category that you find this new generation of GOOD musical artists.

So glad that hollywood is catching up to NIN music from twelve years.

So much so that Trent Reznor won the Oscar for doing the soundtrack to The Social Network.
