Trent Reznor, mastermind behind industrial rock group Nine Inch Nails, is no stranger to the realm of Top Songs in the genre of Sexy Rock Music. And if you were to ask anyone who has dipped their head into the rock world for an iota of time, they would be able to come up saying NIN\u2019s \u201cCloser\u201d definitely deserves a spot on any Top 10 list.<\/p>\n
But what about Trent\u2019s other bands\/projects? What about How To Destroy Angels, the band he shares with his wife, Mariqueen, and friend\/collaborator Atticus Ross? What about his soundtracks, also co-composed by Ross? His remixes\/covers?<\/p>\n
How\u2019s about we dip into less charted territory?<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an example of a playlist utilizing Trent Reznor\u2019s sexy deep cuts:<\/p>\n
1. All Time Low (Nine Inch Nails \u2013 Hesitation Marks)<\/p>\n
Start the ball rolling with this loud mid-tempo funk song, which sounds very akin to \u201cCloser\u201d (Trent even inserts verses from \u201cCloser\u201d when he performs \u201cAll Time Low\u201d live). Between the dissonant 70\u2019s style guitar of Adrian Belew, the staccato bass lines of Pino Palladino, and the drugged out arpeggiator at the end of the song, this song takes you on a drunken sexual journey. Good way to start things off.<\/p>\n
2. Get Down Make Love (Nine Inch Nails \u2013 Sin)<\/p>\n
Bring up the angst a bit with Trent\u2019s industrial version of Queen\u2019s deep track from \u201cNews of the World\u201d. Produced by Ministry\u2019s Al Jourgensen, Trent\u2019s distorted vocals make him sound all the more desperate and sexually frustrated, completely the opposite of Freddy Mercury\u2019s confident \u201cI\u2019m the provider of all things sexual, now do what I say.\u201d Trent\u2019s take is more \u201cDo what I say??? PLEASE?! BEFORE WE ALL DIE OF BLUE BALLS!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
3. 27 Ghosts III (Nine Inch Nails \u2013 Ghosts I-IV)<\/p>\n
Keep the angst and noise high. This super deep cut is an instrumental from a series of instrumental EP\u2019s called \u201cGhosts\u201d. These EP\u2019s were the main reason David Fincher asked Trent and Atticus to score his films. Fincher would put songs from \u201cGhosts\u201d in the soundtrack of \u201cThe Social Network\u201d to test the feel of things, trying to hear what the difference would be between a darker score and a score of more upbeat rock songs from Elvis Costello.<\/p>\n
4. Only (El-P Remix) (Nine Inch Nails \u2014 Every Day Is Exactly the Same)<\/p>\n
This half-timed version of NIN\u2019s hit single \u201cOnly\u201d by hip hop artist El-P changes the original disco feel into a super sexually charged schmorgasbord of sweaty beats\/turntable effects. Technically not made by Trent, specifically, but shut up. It\u2019s part of the Halo canon (Halos being Nine Inch Nails\u2019 official catalog system). This will totally work in your favor.<\/p>\n
5. The Loop Closes (How to Destroy Angels \u2013 Welcome Oblivion)<\/p>\n
An almost instrumental song, this tune brings electronica and exotic instrumentation together, solidified by another \u201cCloser\u201d-ish beat. A great song that utilizes a rising dynamic throughout, starting soft, it steadily climbs its way into forte (and you should be climbing to your own forte) before releasing its energy and resolving in a blippy electronic pianissimo. It\u2019s also great to hear Trent and his wife riffing together in the vocals.<\/p>\n
6. Reptile (Nine Inch Nails \u2013 The Downward Spiral)<\/p>\n
A classic NIN song from a classic album, but a deep cut, nonetheless. Trent is totally in his element of sexual frustration and loss. Take things to a darker tone (which, considering everything on this playlist is dark, is saying something).<\/p>\n
7. Closer (Precursor) (Nine Inch Nails \u2013 Closer to God)<\/p>\n
I know I said we\u2019d stick to more uncharted territory, so why is \u201cCloser\u201d showing up? Touche. BUT this is a remix done by Coil. If you\u2019ve seen the opening credits to \u201cSe7en\u201d (by the aforementioned David Fincher, no less) then you\u2019ve heard this really great take on NIN\u2019s biggest single. It\u2019s dirty, sludgy, long, and has a slightly more disturbing feel than the original.<\/p>\n
8. A Familiar Taste (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross \u2013 The Social Network)<\/p>\n
This song is a revisited and altered version of a song from Nine Inch Nails\u2019 \u201cGhosts\u201d collection. But I like this version better. In the film, \u201cThe Social Network\u201d, it plays while Mark Zuckerberg is imagining what happens at all the frat parties he\u2019d like to attend when they invite young college ladies over for a night of drunken, sexual revelry. This song is a good warmer upper for the next track on the list\u2026<\/p>\n
9. Vessel (Nine Inch Nails \u2013 Year Zero)<\/p>\n
I love this track. This truly rivals \u201cCloser\u201d\u2018s reign of sexiest NIN song of all time. This one\u2019s pumping, throbbing gristle is great for the more violent sexual rompers out there. The noise, the blips, the groove: it\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n
10. Consummation (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross \u2013 Gone Girl)<\/p>\n
This one\u2019s dark. The darkest on the list. And it\u2019s last for a reason. I won\u2019t say what happens in the film \u201cGone Girl\u201d, but this song occurs during its most poignant and violent scene. I would use this song to bring on the climax when it comes to your playlist. The slow pulse, the rising cacophony (it sounds like your speakers are being ripped apart), all lend themselves to the perfect ending (read: orgasm) of your ten song Trent Reznor sex fest.<\/p>\n
***11. Sugar Storm (Reprise) (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross \u2013 Gone Girl)<\/p>\n
As a bonus, use this song as you come down. It\u2019s short but pleasant to listen to. It also has the perfect major key ending, a great cherry on top of everything you\u2019ve just listened to.***<\/p>\n
