Head Like a Hole

Head Like a Hole is the second Nine Inch Nails single, released in 1990. It contains remixes of three songs from Pretty Hate Machine and is longer in duration than the album itself.

A three-track version of this single was released in the UK and Australia. This contains the "opal" mix of "Head Like a Hole", which is not included on the US release.

The "clay" mix of "Head Like a Hole" is the version used on the music video.

The "shred" and "singe" mixes of "Down in It" were previously released on the Down in It single (Halo 1).

The unlisted eleventh track is a woman's voice yelling "Let's hear it for Nine Inch Nails, woo, they're good!". This is from the appearance on Dance Party USA. The woman is the show's host.

Head Like a Hole is Halo 3.
