Vitamin Piano – The Piano Tribute To Nine Inch Nails

Just like yesterday’s post about the string quartet tribute to NIN, this disc makes me very happy indeed. Piano run-throughs of Reznor’s songs, here, are beautiful and stark and wonderful.

Coolest was Closer, where even that thump/throb percussion seems to have been made (and looped) by hitting the side of the piano, or The Downward Spiral’s use of the piano’s innards like a harp while knuckles wrap on the instrument’s top…

But all of the tracks here take NIN’s propulsive sound and turns them into believable piano sounds. Brilliant stuff.

Hit It Or Quit It? Hit!
