Trent Reznor You Are Amazing

Nine Inch Nails front man/founder/leader etc., Trent Reznor, is so much more than any thing relating to or concerning the band. Don't get me wrong Nine Inch Nails is definitely where Reznor made, and continues to make a name for himself  but outside of that he is also a multi-instrumental, composer, producer.... MUSICAL GENIUS.

One of his most recent achievements comes from his collaboration with Atticus Ross on the Social Network soundtrack. For this effort Reznor and Ross received both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best Original Score. Reznor himself described the soundtrack like so...

"Musically, this all came out of our secret laboratory - electronic in basis, but mostly organic sounding. Lots of experiments and emphasis on sound fraying around the edges while focusing on the proper emotional tone for the various scenes."

If you're wondering what he means then you better go take a listen. Music makes a film, it sets the emotional tones and takes you on a journey through the highs, lows and emotional climaxes of each character. The Social Network soundtrack goes above and beyond what a soundtrack is meant to do. It is an amazing collection of musical story telling. Without this soundtrack the tone of the film would have been completely altered.

And now the Reznor/Ross duo is set to achieve this feat again on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack. First of all let me say I am a huge fan of this series, I've read all of the books and am highly anticipating the release of the film. To now find out that Reznor has his hand in the soundtrack - well lets just say I don't think anything could have made me more excited! They have recently leaked a preview of what we can expect the soundtrack to be like and you can download a sampler right here:
