Hard to believe Pretty Hate Machine was released in the 80s. At least for me, but I'm old. Living in Ohio I was lucky enough to see the band in their early days and through many personnel changes. But NIN has always been Trent Reznor. These demos from November 1988 were recorded at The Right Track in Cleveland, OH, where legend has it, Trent was still a janitor at the time. These demos are much more ... synth and dance oriented, more in line with perhaps Depeche Mode than Ministry or some of the more abrassive bands on the industrial scene. Each song is different than what was eventually released - different vocals, mixes, lyrics, etc. Two tracks still remain unreleased. This has been bootlegged and is often referred to as Purest Feeling. Perfect sound.

Pretty Hate Machine también conocido y confundido con el nombre de Purest Feeling, es un disco diferente al resto de lo producido por Nine Inch Nails. De hecho, Trent Reznor se ha caracterizado por tener un estilo novedoso a lo largo de lo que va creando. Aunque cabe resaltar que esta onda electrónica - industrial (como le llaman) presente este disco, aún contiene resagos de los ochenta, los cuales casi terminarán con la aparición de dos nuevos temas: Head Like a Hole y Terrible Lie.
Buena voz, buen sonido, letras desgarradoras (se incluyen experiencias amorosas)
