As of yesterday, according
to a reliable source, both Trent Reznor and Flood,
who worked with NIN during the Downward Spiral era,
are confirmed to produce The Cure's Robert Smith solo
album.
"I guess this means
that with so many projects in the works ("One Hour
Photo" score, Tapeworm, Fragility DVD, Robert Smith,
etc.), it'll be another three years before we see
a new nine inch nails album," said my source. "Can
we say business as usual at Nothing Studios?"
That will probably not
be so much of the case here considering Trent Reznor
said nearly a month ago the next NIN album is going
very well. "I'm working on finishing a new (and very
different) nine inch nails record over the next few
months." he said to his NIN: Access fans. Besides,
between each major release from NIN, Reznor breaks
his mold and tries new things, but considering all
his new projects, we can only assume that work with
Smith may begin later in the year or early the following.
During the November
2000 Yahoo NIN chat, a question was asked if Reznor
has any plans to work or produce Robert Smith's solo
album, which Trent had this to say. "Robert and I
have met a few times. The Cure has always been one
of my favorite bands," he said. "When I saw them on
their last tour in LA, we were on tour -- I made a
detour just to see the show. We spoke at length about
contributing something to his solo record. Hopefully,
something will come out of that. I have great respect
for him."
