Nine Inch Nails Fans Given Unique Chance to Remix, Reinvent and Recreate New Single 'Only' via Web Site
and Remix Programs

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire/ - Trent
Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is breaking new ground
once again by offering fans the unique opportunity to, as
he puts it, "remix/reinterpret/ruin" his just-released
single, "Only." Beginning June 25, the day the single was officially released, fans have been able to download from
the www.nin.com Web site the song's master multitracks
and use any of four software programs to remix the
recording as they wish. They may also access www.myspace.com/ninremixes to upload their remixes,
vote for their favorites and comment about their
experiences in a blog.

In a note to fans, Reznor says: "There is no agenda here other than for you to explore, experiment and have fun with
it ... I'm looking forward to hearing what you come up with."

The concept was tested a couple of months ago when Reznor made available the tracks for "The Hand That Feeds" in Apple Garageband format. "Last I checked there were hundreds of remixes," says Reznor. "I've enjoyed and cringed at what you've done with my song. Thank you (I think)." That success has led to "Only," which is available in Mac-only Garageband but also Ableton Live (Mac and Windows), Digidesign Pro Tools LE (Mac and Windows) and
Windows-only Sony Acid Xpress/Pro. While the other
formats present the song in a mix to begin with, the more advanced Pro Tools tracks are unmixed and raw. The
Pro Tools version even features the possibility of a fan
remix using alternate bits and pieces not heard in the officially released recording.

"This has been a great avenue for Nine Inch Nails to connect with fans," says Courtney Holt, Head of New Media and Strategic Marketing for Interscope Records. "After 'The Hand That Feeds' received such a tremendous response, Trent and his fans wanted more. But he wanted it even bigger and broader. So for 'Only' we added more formats, included Windows users, and partnered with MySpace. It's all about providing a community for Nine Inch Nails fans."

"Only" is heard on With Teeth (Nothing/Interscope), released May 3, 2005. With Teeth hit #1 on the Billboard Top Albums chart and the album's first single, "The Hand That Feeds" also hit #1 and remained there for five weeks. The "Only" DVD single includes the song's music video directed by David Fincher.
