For many artists, remix albums are by their nature slightly uneven collections, lacking the common thread that makes a good record a consistent piece of work-–yet past NIN offerings like 1995’s Further Down the Spiral have somehow bucked this trend, and Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D is no exception. This isn’t, you suspect so much to do with any similarities between the artists--everyone's here from British synth-poppers Ladytron to beat poet Saul Williams to minimalist classical ensemble Kronos Quartet--as it is the consistency of Reznor’s vision; no matter how thorough the audio mangling, his damaged humanity still has a habit of poking through the gaps. Highlights include the smudged ambience of Fennesz’s take on "In This Twilight" and the immersive, abstract techno of Olof Dreijer’s 15 minute remix of "Me I’m Not", but the real coup here is two mixes by Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert of New Order that pull off machine-like synth-pop and drifting vintage electronics ambience leaving Reznor’s vocals wholly intact. –-Louis Pattison...
