better than the original

This one's really better than the original. It has the live hurt, and only one eraser remix. It has a ruiner remix. And heresy. I really would recommend this instead of the original further down the spiral.

Cooooooool Cd

a very interesting album with remixes and different versions of songs from "Downward spiral".i am not a big NIN fan, but this Cd is one of my favourite because of three songs contained here...
"Downward spiral bottom","Heresy" and "Ruiner" are making this one.even if all the other songs were sounding [horrible] (but luckily they are good) these 3 songs would be a reason to give this 5 stars or even more.
i do not know how Trent is making Remixes as good as these, but really - i think he is one of the Industrial-techno-rock genius then...
oh yeah - this is a cool album (-:

Good companion to a great album

The UK and US versions of this release are very different. They only actually share 6 songs. The US version (10b, as it came out a week after the UK one) has a different version of Hurt, similar to the album version (Downward Spiral); two remixes of Eraser - one with strings and what sounds like pipes, and one that sounds like it's in reverse; another Aphex Twin track (no idea what it's a remix of!); and another remix of Mr. Self Destruct (Self Destruction pt2.

The UK version has two remixes by Charlie Clouser - Heresy and Ruiner which are both excellent; a different version of Mr Self Destruct (Self Destruction pt3); and a live version of Hurt, played with piano, not guitar.

Both are good, but I think the UK version just shades it for the Clouser stuff, and the Eraser remixes of the US version aren't terribly good.

By the way, if you want to get hold of the UK version, go to Amazon.co.uk where you can get it for about 8 GBP, plus 4 GBP shipping, which comes to about $20, rather than $21 plus postage on the US site.
