I would love to hear a completed version of "was it worth it?" with vocals. Probably my favorite track on Deviations.
Having finished my list of NIN covers, I realised they have done exactly 50 as of Greensleeves - if we take HTDA and TRAR covers as covers http://www.nin.wiki/Cover_Songs
For Down In The Park it says “partially, Gary Numan on guest vocals”. Gary pretty pretty much wrote the song and Tubeway Army was only used for his first two albums before just going under his name. I think it should just say “Yes” in that column. @botley ?
Yeah, he also wanted to release it under his own name, but the record company insisted on keeping the "Tubeway Army" name because they had sold a few thousand copies of their first LP.
Some editions of the Replicas album credit "Gary Numan + Tubeway Army" too. It's a Gary Numan song, basically.

Bad Witch is not an LP, it's an EP. lol I still can't get over Trent's logic on that one.
It is a shorter listen than Broken, which is well known as an EP.

Broken is technically classifed by the RIAA as a "short-form album" (*walks away slowly before another argument erupts*).

Bad Witch is so much easier to find on Spotify compared to NTAE and AV that I couldn't give a crap about its length. Great idea making it an album Trent and thank you.
Not actually crazy to me…but why not have also called both AV or NTAE LPs as well? Maybe in hindsight he would have?
I also am now noting Spotify (not sure about Apple Music) lists Broken as an LP. Hmm. www.ninwiki.com doesn't concur. System collapse.
I guess I wish I actually knew what the standard was for what makes an EP an EP. Maybe I never knew?

This is my list of songs that are only available on analog media (cassette or vinyl). If anyone knows differently, please let me know:
+Appendage
Capital G (Ladytron Finite Climax Mix)
Closer to God (5:25 version, fades to proper ending, promo vinyl)
Happiness in Slavery (PK Slavery Remix)
Happiness in Slavery (Sherwood Slave Remix)
Head Like a Hole (Radio Edit) (3:43)
Heresy (Blind) (5:38, fades to proper ending, promo vinyl)
Hurt (Reverse)
Reptile (Reverse)
Sin (Radio Edit) (3:22)
Something I Can Never Have (Remastered, Vinyl, no "Sanctified" guitar drone)
Starfuckers, Inc. (Cassette, no "Complication" guitar during the ending)
Suck (Live) (TVT Summer Sampler 1991)
Survivalism_OpalHeartClinic_Niggy_Tardust!(Escaped ...
The Downward Spiral (Reverse)
The Good Soldier (Friend or Faux 001)
The Perfect Drug (Aphrodite)
The Perfect Drug (Aphrodite) (5:38, white label; Original speed at which the remix was made)
Vessel (Mix 1)
Vessel (Mix 2) (First half is the same as the Bill Laswell Mix)
Wish (3:36)
The posted HiS remixes were sourced from vinyl rips though, not the original files. Survivalism_Tardusted is not the same as Survivalism_OpalHeartClinic_Niggy_Tardust!(Escaped .... The latter was not posted, I believe (though I'll double-check). (Edit: It was not)
The slowed down Aphrodite remix (6:07) was only on the Nothing promo vinyl, AFAIK. If you know differently, please point it out to me. The original speed Aphrodite remix (5:38) was only on white label vinyl. The 2016 digital reissue was remastered (so I count that as different from the original release).
Pretty sure one of Vessel mixes is available in digital as around the time of YZR release it was posted on... Bill's myspace? Not sure exactly where.
Maybe when people stop banging on about vinyl being the only real format to bother with somebody will put all these out somewhere in a nice digital bundle. *nudge nudge, wink wink*
Am I correct in thinking that we could add the Dave Sitek remix of Survivalism from the Capital G single? Or was it on remix.nin.com in low quality?
I'd be interested in more info about that. Here are the Bill Laswell remixes:
CD: Vessel (Bill Laswell Mix) - 6:11
Vinyl only: Vessel (Mix 1) - 9:36
Vinyl only: Vessel (Mix 2) - 13:12 (first 6:11 is same as "Bill Laswell Mix")
Edit: I found this. Is that the one? The song file itself was lost in the great MySpace music apocalypse, but it looks like it would the the "Bill Laswell Mix"
It was a bonus track on the iTunes UK album of Year Zero.
I just looked at whatever I have in my YZR folder and I suspect it's 9:36 remix because the file I have sounds remarkably better (or, should I say, louder) than 13:12 one (which is obviously LP sourced). I can PM it to you and you check if it's digital or not.
By the way, did you know we're living a Groundhog's Day? https://www.echoingthesound.org/comm...1056#post61056

Please send it on over. If it's a direct rip from MySpace, then it would be 96 Kbps MP3 (or 96 Kbps AAC if it was ripped in 2012 or later). If it was re-encoded rather than directly ripped, then it could be anything.
With a post by me right above yours. Time truly is a flat circle.
Though I don't think we've had this specific analog-only discussion.
I am still very grateful that I can look back at The Meathead Perspective's Voice of the Voiceless and know that seeing The Perfect Drug in the flesh has been a reality so far. I had it in my mind the entire time I saw it last year, along with actual music video itself. (A lot of it also has to do with the fact that I also discovered The Meathead Perspective at the start of becoming a fan too.)

I really wish 33 Ghosts had been played live, such a great song
What is TR working on today/now? What's next.
