'''''Still''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 17 CD2]]''''' or ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]: Still''), released on January 22, 2002, is both an individual release and the second disc of the deluxe edition of ''And All That Could Have Been''. It contains original instrumentals and stripped down versions of old songs. [[Trent Reznor]] has stated that some of the tracks on ''Still'' are evolutions of rejected themes that were originally written for [[Mark Romanek]]'s ''One Hour Photo.''[http://web.archive.org/web/20060106205140/http://www.nin.com/access/5_07_04/index.php] The old songs are done in the manner of similar ones performed at the [[The CRC Sessions]].

==About==
[[Trent Reznor ]] explained the concept behind the album[http://nincatalog.com/printed-artwork/press-release-and-all-that-could-have-been-us-press-release-1620/] in a Q&A lifted from a press sheet:
<blockquote>"We did a radio show in Chicago where we did such songs as "The Fragile" and "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" that were stripped down, though it was not us with acoustic guitars, singing Poison songs. So I took those performances, and added some other ones we'd done in the studio, several new instrumental tracks, a new song called "And All That Could Have Been," and worked it into a heavily melancholic suite for a rainy, fall, Sunday afternoon."</blockquote>

The title may be referencing the [[Joy Division]] album of the same name, from which their song "[[Dead Souls]]" - covered by [[Nine Inch Nails]] during ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' era - comes. The album was originally intended to be called ''Quiet''[http://www.flickr.com/photos/10729782@N03/4638360700/in/set-72157624007552825/], a name that was later reflected in ''[[The Definitive NIN - Quiet Tracks]]''.
