Genre specific digipaks- #3 - Pretty Hate Machine (Remastered)- Nine Inch Nails

Artist: Nine Inch Nails
Nature: LP/CD/ Album Reissue
Artist:Rob Sheridan

Remastered and reissued edition of Pretty Hate Machine

Although the first instance of this record back in 1989 was done by artist Gary Talpas, for the 2010 reissue, Reznor had Rob Sheridan design his interpretation of the original due to the reissued and remastered nature of the record. This artwork style from Sheridan is immediately noticeable from the more digital effect of the new artwork (Horizontal digital lines running through the cover) and darker colour pallet now associated with the band. This remaster coincided with the albums 20th aniversary. In addition to the remastered artwork and music, Reznor offered an increased attraction to the album through his release of unheard material in the bonus tracks of 'Get down make love' (Queen cover) and alternative mixes of 'Sin'.

This digipak contains one CD, a lyrics booklet as well as coming in it's own box for that added sentimental value for the buyer.

Original '89 release

Remasters: "Remaster (also digital remastering and digitally remastered) refers to enhancing the quality of the sound or of the image, or both, of previously created recordings, either audiophonic, cinematic, or videographic."

The idea of a digital remaster, is not only the improving of audio quality, but to also entice and stimulate existing audiences due to the pull factor of a 'fresh experience' into the artists music once more. Furthermore the remaster of an album brings about fresh opportunity to attract new fans and audiences to the bands music.
