'''''The Fragile: Deviations 1''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 30]]''''') is an alternate, instrumental take on ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' by [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It began shipping in June 2017, but was released digitally in December 2016 to those who ordered the physical product from [[nin.com]]. The digital release includes expansive artwork in PDF format, including some imagery not seen in the original version of the album.
On December 24, 2016, [[Trent Reznor]] stated[https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/showthread.php?p=331874#post331874] on [[Echoing The Sound]] that: "When a track from Deviations says (Instrumental), that's because at some point that track had vocals on it. Those could be finished, a demo or just an outline." For info about alternate versions of tracks that were already instrumentals, see the individual track pages.
==About==
A press release announcing ''Deviations 1'' on nin.com stated:
<blockquote>"A very special limited edition of ''The Fragile'' is now available for preorder in the NIN store. This unique version of NIN’s classic record was created by Trent Reznor and [[Atticus Ross]] and features 37 instrumental, alternate and unreleased tracks, many of which have never been heard before anywhere."
Reznor explains, '''The Fragile'' occupies a very interesting and intimate place in my heart. I was going through a turbulent time in my life when making it and revisiting it has become a form of therapy for me. As an experiment, I removed all the vocals from the record and found it became a truly changed experience that worked on a different yet compelling level. ''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' represents Atticus and I embellishing the original record with a number of tracks from those sessions we didn’t use before. The result paints a complimentary but different picture we wanted to share.'
''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' will not be available on any digital services and only available in this format while this limited run lasts."</blockquote>

''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' was designed by [[Corey Holms]], who gave the following info[https://www.coreyholms.com/music#/nine-inch-nails-deviations-2/] on his site:
<blockquote>The ''Deviations'' album by Nine Inch Nails, is a reimagining of ''The Fragile'', where songs are reworked, remixed and made instrumental. It felt very appropriate then to recrop, and recontextualize the [[David Carson]] photography from ''The Fragile'' for the ''Deviations'' album to fit that theme. And importantly, it made sense to remove all text from an instrumental album, so there is no text on the jacket, or the sleeves at all.</blockquote>
