I wonder how badly this long post title screws up the design. Probably not at all. I'm skittish.
Nine Inch Nails covers are tricky, and that's all I can really say about it. Once glance at Amazon shows that the majority of the reviews decry this tribute album. I've heard a few, and they mostly all suck, but every now and then you get one or two good tracks out of them. Off this one, you've got this song.
George Sarah is an 'electronic composer' who might be known for his work under the name T.H.C. (who are also featured on this tribute album) and might be even better known for his work with Anthony Stewart Head (Giles, ya know) on his album Music for Elevators. The chick who sings this all wonderfully? No idea who she is. Maybe George Sarah picked her up off the street.
As it is... yes, beautiful vocal, and, to me, awesome backing music (though someone on Amazon insults it in saying it sounds like an iron lung that detracts from the vocal, as if this guy forgets Reznor's own spray bottle antics on remixes of Eraser! golly!) combines into a gorgeous sad song, and probably one of the only decently acceptable Nine Inch Nails covers in existence.
