More Nine Inch Nails confusion

  • To add up to the mess surrounding Nine Inch Nails's new album "The Fragile", the different formats also differs slightly regarding the tracks. The triple vinyl has two more tracks than the double CD, entitled "10 Miles High" and "The New Flesh", the first an instrumental and the latter a vocal song. The cassette has an "Appendage" added to the song "Please", that is not included on either the CD or vinyl. CD review at On Record.
    The single to the new video "We're in This Together" should be released on October 8.
    About a month later Nine Inch Nails will start their European tour in Barcelona, Spain. See On Stage. /Kristoffer Noheden
