Miscellanea
The official release had one contribution by Butch Vig, which was the end portion of "Throw This Away". Vig had originally remixed the song "Last", but it was cut from the final version of the EP. Trent Reznor said that Vig basically did what he always does with any song: he made it rock. However, Vig has stated in interviews that his remix of "Last" was not included simply because "Trent didn't like it." Therefore only part of Vig's mix appears at the end of "Throw This Away". The original mix appeared on the internet as an 8-bit mono 11khz file in 1993. In 2007, a high quality version was uploaded by Reznor on remix.nin.com. Another track was evidently remixed by Adrian Sherwood, and also rejected.[1] This may have been "Happiness In Slavery" (Sherwood Slave Mix), which was released on the song's promo single around the same time period.
This remix EP employs some rather unorthodox mixing techniques to give the listener an intentional sense of confusion on initial (and sometimes subsequent) listenings. On the opening "Gave Up" remix, the song picks up with a frantic rhythmic jumbling of Reznor's vocals directly referencing the lyrics ("smashed myself to pieces"). This involved running the vocals through a sampler and manipulating the knobs to cause the vocal sample to fire at random, re-sequencing them together in manic fashion.[2] Like many avant garde industrial music acts before, this release helped pioneer the notion of the remix as an artform, far removed from just commercial "milking" of an existing product. Remix artist John Balance (of Coil) expressed his dislike of choruses in the song and decided to take it in another direction.
According to Reznor's posts on Prodigy, the original US CD pressing was 60,000 copies which sold out quickly. They then released another 20,000 copies. [3]
