Peter Murphy was the special surprise guest at some of the US dates (Evidently Gary Numan did similar guest appearances on UK dates) of the much ballyhooed Wave Goodbye (final ever!?!) Nine Inch Nails tour. Peter showed up towards the end of the NIN set and did vocals on “Reptile” followed by “Kick in the Eye” and later joining on vocals again on “Dead Souls”, the Joy Division cover from The Crow Soundtrack . The night after this show Peter Murphy showed up again as special guest, but made a much grander entrance by coming down upside down from the ceiling.

The radio station that I worked at got an advance copy of the “Down In It” 12″ from TVT. I decided to check it out because it had been mixed by Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc. I was anticipating the full length and when “Pretty Hate Machine” was released the CD didn’t come out of my player for weeks. This is an interesting demo of the song “That’s What I Get” off that record with a very dated 80′s sound.
