The Fragile: Deviations 1 [Vinyl 4LP]

The Fragile: Deviations 1 (also known as Halo 30) is an alternate, instrumental take on The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails. The vinyl comes with a digital download card. On December 24, 2016, Trent Reznor stated that: “When a track from Deviations says (Instrumental), that’s because at some point that track had vocals on it. Those could be finished, a demo or just an outline.” A very special limited edition of The Fragile is now available for preorder in the NIN store. This unique version of NINs classic record was created by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and features 37 instrumental, alternate and unreleased tracks, many of which have never been heard before anywhere.” 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 didnt use before. The result paints a complimentary but different picture we wanted to share.’
