Reznor is clearly a smart guy. I always love reading interviews with him. I don't agree with all his positions but it's refreshing to read about a thoughtful musician.

There's a really interesting, recently released HBO documentary called "The Defiant Ones"[1] which is about the story of Interscope Records, Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre. Trent Reznor is interviewed in it, because he has worked with Jimmy Iovine for quite some time. Iovine, Dre and Reznor all come across as very smart, humble and incredibly hard working individuals.

Here's a clip regarding Nine Inch Nails and Iovine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPJZdtyXAVo

The whole four episodes are well worth watching.

This explains Dr Dre's involvement in the production (assistant mixer) on 'Even Deeper' from Nine Inch Nail's The Fragile album.

That series was really well done.
