Twenty years ago this month, Nine Inch Nails released their ground-breaking Downward Spiral album to much acclaim: making the Billboard 200 at #2 and certified quadruple platinum. This summer, Nine Inch Nails embarks on a North American tour with Soundgarden (also celebrating their own 20th anniversary). In commemoration, we revisit Lakeshore Records‘ catalog of soundtracks composed and produced by past band members of Nine Inch Nails: Charlie Clouser, Danny Lohner and Chris Vrenna.
Chris Vrenna was the Live Drummer of Nine Inch Nails (1989-97) and credited as Engineer for Downward Spiral. Lakeshore Records released Vrenna’s Tweaker – 2am Wake Up Call Special Edition DVD (mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound): http://amzn.to/NmM1BC.
