about

Doo wop songs from early in Frank's career (including 'Cheap Thrills') are heard amidst various effects and the song 'Charva' is also heard in the background. 'The people inside the piano' are heard and calls are taken as we briefly hear 'The Professor' playing guitar over the telephone to the mix. Samples from 'Lumpy Gravy' can be heard in the mix. More cut up samples from the A&E 'Biography' are heard. A mechanical voice, over the phone, gives the station I.D. Adrian calls in and can be heard imitating Butt-Head amidst 'Professor' phone guitar playing and talking. Frank can be heard talking, way back in the mix. A portion of 'Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance' (Reprise) is heard over 'the people inside the piano' and various effects.

This is NIN (Nine Inch Nails) played songs in 8-bit format. Very clever concept and a delight to listen to, especially if you're a NIN fan. The National Cynical Network
