That's an excellent question and I hadn't really thought about it until you

asked. I would say that it's in spite of the fact that it's synthesized.

Reznor seems to understand that music occurs in space and he sets up his

recordings that way. They have a level of dynamic range that is unusual in

rock music and he really, really understands the nature of deep bass. His

CD's fully utilize the entire audio spectrum unlike most other recordings

and even though you are correct that it is all worked to death in

computerland he manages to lay the tracks down so they _sound_ like they are

occurring within a full 3D spatial palette. Very rare.

Even though I haven't gone to a concert since Pink Floyd 18 years ago,

I got an excited cell phone call last night. Two of my daughters were

out for dinner and called saying " Guess who was here? " Would have

never guessed. It was from Staind and family. Too Cool!
