My word, that is sensational.

If Eric Satie was still alive, that is what I think he would be composing; maybe collaborating with Philip Glass.

It is an incredible piece of music, at its best when it's night time and you're in the car on your own. Hauntingly beautiful is probably the best 2 words that could describe it.

Nine Inch Nails - Leaving Hope

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-GwX5x1cio

A haunting instrumental from the end of the 'Still' CD which came with Live: And All That Could Have Been.

One of my most listened too albums recently.
You win...
That whole CD is haunting.

I had the chance to see NIN at Leeds Festival a few years ago but was dragged off by my then girlfriend to see someone else. I always regret it now that Trent has stopped touring as NIN and sold off all the kit.

This unplugged version of Down In A Hole by the truly brilliant Alice in Chains...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-gQtM86wEI

Made better by the state he was in at the time combined with the lyrics,I want it played at my funeral too,not for the lyrics but to raise a grin as they lower the box!

Used iTunes - cost £1.89 for the video. The audio track alone would be only 99p.
