Companion piece to third LP, on vinyl for the first time ever. Considered by some to be the bands opus, was infamously written and recorded at the height of s depression and drug abuse. The Fragile: Deviations 1 collects outtakes from the albums sessions plus alternate and instrumental versions for the first time ever, revealing new facets of the landmark albums core. Reznor explains: "The Fragile occupies a very interesting and intimate place in my heart. I was going through a turbulent time in my life when making it and revisiting it has become a form of therapy for me. As an experiment, I removed all the vocals from the record and found it became a truly changed experience that worked on a different yet compelling level. The Fragile: Deviations 1 represents Atticus and I embellishing the original record with a number of tracks from those sessions we didn't use before. The result paints a complementary but different picture we wanted to share." A whopping 38 tracks altogether, presented on stunning 4x 180 gram vinyl housed in full-color gatefold sleeve. Essential for theNine Inch Nails completist. From the sticker: Compiled and arranged by Trent Reznor and in Los Angeles, 2016.
