The Downward Spiral - Deluxe Edition (1994)

"The original album has been remixed for 5.1 Surround Sound on SACD. This opens up the sound, providing greater clarity and separation. This might not necessarily be a good thing in the industrial metal style, but it works well here, because of all those sudden edits that take the music from a loud, noisy sound picture down to a solo vocal or acoustic guitar. About the extra's: "Burn" comes from the soundtrack to "Natural Born Killers"; "Closer (Precursor)," "Closer to God," and "Memorabilia" from the "Closer To God" maxi-single; "Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)," "Hurt (Quiet)," and "The Downward Spiral (The Bottom)" from the "Further Down the Spiral" remix EP; the cover of Soft Cell's "Memorabilia" from the "March Of The Pigs" maxi-single; and the cover of Joy Division's "Dead Souls" from the soundtrack to "The Crow". The final tracks are demos of album tracks. In particular, "Hurt (Quiet)" anticipates Johnny Cash's cover and is at least as effective as the master take." (William Ruhlmann, Allmusic)
