"Further Down the Spiral" is a remix album by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails. Released on May 29, 1995, it serves as the companion remix disc to the band’s second studio album, "The Downward Spiral." The album was issued in two editions: Halo 10 in the United States, and Halo 10 V2 in Japan, Australia, and the UK, each containing a different selection of tracks.
Certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on June 26, 1996, for sales exceeding 500,000 copies in the US, "Further Down the Spiral" has since become one of the best-selling remix albums of all time. The album presents a varied and experimental perspective on the original material, featuring contributions from high-profile remixers and collaborators such as Aphex Twin, Coil with Danny Hyde, JG Thirlwell, and Rick Rubin with Dave Navarro.
The album includes remixes of tracks like "Mr. Self Destruct," "Piggy," "Hurt," and "Reptile," as well as two original compositions by Aphex Twin. "Further Down the Spiral" showcases Nine Inch Nails' willingness to explore new sonic territories while reimagining their seminal works from "The Downward Spiral."
