Cover of Nine Inch Nails' 2000 "Fragility" tour program, design and photography by Rob Sheridan. A hazy abstract photograph of stage lights. This copy is signed by me.
Photographs from Nothing Studios, New Orleans, 1999, during the recording of Nine Inch Nails' "The Fragile." ALAN MOULDER, PRODUCER: "I got involved pretty early on. Trent had one song written and about 15 demos. He also had about sixty 'bits, varying from a riff or noise loop to a more evolved drum pattern with a bass or guitar line. We sorted through these and decided which ones to work on. Sometimes we combined drums from one piece with a guitar loop from another and a piano piece from another to make one new track. *We also started a lot of tracks from scratch. This is unusal as I am normally brought in at a later stage when the songs have been written. It was great to be involved from the 'blank canvas' stage. We would go through the tracks and pick one to work on. Then we'd spend a couple of days evolving that and messing around with the structure. adding new sections and instrumentation. Because there was so much material to work on we never labored over anything, taking the attitude that if something wasn't happening, or we'd reached a block, we would move on to the next track. We wouldn't listen back to what we had done to the tracks for weeks. Because we had been working quickly and constanly moving on, listening back later to what we had done was diwoys a surprise. We quite often had forgotten what we had done. Every time we listened back, we got excited, as it was always a lot better than we remembered. We would carry on doing that and some tracks would get eliminated as we went on until Trent had vocal ideas and lyrics. These songs would be completed and not listened to for a couple of weeks to see if the ideas stood the test of time. If we were happy, we would start to mix the song. adding and refining...even lengthening or changing the structure as we mixed!
Concert photographs by Rob Sheridan from the 1999 Fragility v1.0 tour. Trent Reznor: "We finally played the first official show of the tour in Barcelona. Over the time it took to create The Fragile, I really didn't feet that NIN would be picking up from where it left off, but sort of restarting from scratch. I didn't assume there would be large audiences, I didn't assume anything I still don't. Making an uncompromising record - and taking a long time to do it - can come with a price. When we opened with Somewhat Damaged," it was much to my surprise that in a country wed never been to there was a crowd full of people jumping up and down screaming every word to a new song from the new album. That was really a moment for me. Things seemed okay. It was a very good feeling, and it fueled us to go on and perform what I thought was a great show and a great tour."

Page from Alternative Press magazine, September 1999 featuring Trent Reznor. Quote: "For the past five years, NIN mainman Trent Reznor has struggled with depression, writer's block, the death of a loved one and the most anticipated album on Earth. And as Reznor tells John Pecorelli in this exclusive interview, now that the album's finished, he 's got a curious new demon to battle: what it's like to actually feel good."
