writer, producer, lead vocalist, keyboarder and guitarist of the band is Trent
Reznor. For the past two years, Trent has been the artist of the year in Spin
magazine and NIN has been the number two band of the year. In 1994, Nine Inch

Title: Gregorian Chant
Details: Words: 1971, Pages: 8... and say “yeah, that CD with the cool beat and the monks singing in the background!” This is not true, simply because it is not signing it is chanting and that’s the big difference. Second, there shouldn’t be any music in the background as in the enigma CD.
So what exactly is ? A bunch of notes slapped on a paper that people just riddle off in a deep voice so it sounds good? Of course not. Chant is a specific kind of music.
