Changes

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.[https://www.compulsiononline.com/interview_dannyhyde.htm] 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.
