I realise NiN and trent reznor is pretty much a one off in terms of his style and tremendous talent, but is there anything out there with similarly beautiful yet downright tragic feel to it?

feelings and images that come into my head when I listen to these albums, urban decay, lost, regret, beauty, dark, lonely, frustration, wonder.

So far in my life, I've not found other music that gives me these same impressions and feelings.

Tool
A Perfect Circle

Of the music I have, I'd say they're the most similar to NiN

Tool
A Perfect Circle

Of the music I have, I'd say they're the most similar to NiN

oh lord, of course, TooL! I havent listened to them for about ten years

mit keine eir!

 

[Shamikebab]

For music similar to those two tracks, you might want to check out stuff like:

Biosphere - Substrata
NIN - Ghosts (though I assume you've got this!)
Boards of Canada
Deprogrammed
Explosions In The Sky
Lustmord

 

[Neverwhere]

Thanks Shamikebab, I will set about those today on spotify. and yes I do indeed have ghosts, hell I have tracks that shouldnt exists in public domain such as rare live CBC recording studio sets for a small group of trents friends,

The Autumn Project and to some extent Russian Circles are along the same lines as Explosions and Boards of Canada.

The Autumn Project especially have created some beautiful post-rock in their time, although they can prove hard to track down.

Maybe check Red Sparowes too while you're at it.

Ministry ?

 

[Shamikebab]

How is Ministry like those tracks

oh lord, of course, TooL! I havent listened to them for about ten years

A Perfect Circle have the same singer btw, I prefer Perfect Circle I think, they're more easy going

 

[Shamikebab]

He also fronts (slash is) Puscifer which is equally awesome

 

[Kosmiche]

Jesu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8aiKZko0g4&feature=related

The lifeline ep is easy going, other works are more heavy

Red Sparowes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncJazOonwPo

Again they also have their heavy moments with introspective passages

you could also if you feeling brave give Isis a go, theyre heavier than the other two so watch out

 

[Big Chris]

I saw Jesu supporting Isis a few years ago and didn't think much to them. Heard some good reviews from people I trust though so perhaps I should investigate more...

Does anyone think we would have bands like this if we didnt have NiN ?

 

[Shamikebab]

NIN are without a doubt one of the most influential bands around (even if they did start off my ripping off/ paying homage to Skinny Puppy )

 

[Neverwhere]

There is an artist called rebelski who is also along these lines but he is bloody hard to find and his albums are damned expensive

 

[Shamikebab]

The most similar artist to NIN is without a doubt Halo In Reverse...because it's pretty much plagiarism.

 

[jp_bl_68]

Aphex Twin's Jynweythek Ylow is similar to that second track. Drukqs and Come to Daddy are a couple of albums worth listening to.

All of Boards of Canada's studio albums are great.

I'd also recommend the score to Tetsuo: Iron Man by Chu Ishikawa.

 

[Robosapien]

Alice In Chains also if you like negative lyrics written by junkies.

Autechre maybe. In fact, definitely.

 

[TheRedZealot]

Biosphere - Substrata
NIN - Ghosts (though I assume you've got this!)
Boards of Canada
Deprogrammed
Explosions In The Sky
Lustmord

He could basically start looking at Instrumental/Post Rock bands really, seem to be the most similar.
