Further Down the Spiral


Further Down the Spiral (US version also known as Halo 10 and UK version also known as Halo 10v2) is an EP by Nine Inch Nails released in 1995. Further Down the Spiral is the tenth official Nine Inch Nails release and is the companion remix disc to The Downward Spiral.

This disc includes remixes of "Mr. Self Destruct", "Piggy" (featuring one-time Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro), "Hurt", "Eraser", and several extended songs that simply defy explanation when it comes to origin, inspiration, and even derivation (most notably "The Beauty of Being Numb", a song which starts out as part of "Mr. Self Destruct" reversed and backwards masked and then turns into a strange, Pink Floyd-like piano and percussion jam).

This disc was to become one of the most popular remix discs ever released by Nine Inch Nails. It showed a more varied and experimental point of view of Reznor's original masterpiece, as well as proving that he could, time and again, inspire others to step up to the plate with their own words or feelings about his music in order to show other aspects of it he and the fans might never have noticed otherwise. This remix album also contained contributions from Aphex Twin, J. G. Thirlwell, and Peter Christopherson.

There were two versions of this release, one for the UK and one for the US, each containing a different set of tracks with much overlap between them.
