== About ==
Purest Feeling is a bootleg of the original demo version of Nine Inch Nails' debut album, [[Pretty Hate Machine]], that was recorded at the [[Right Track]] Studio in November 1988 by Trent Reznor, whilst he was still working as a cleaner there. It was released as a CD in 1994 by Hawk Records.
The sound is brighter (and in some cases happier) than that of the final versions on Pretty Hate Machine; several songs feature more drumming and guitar work throughout, as well as a heavier use of samples from films. "[[Kinda I Want To]]" is reminiscent of early house music. "[[Twist]]" is an early version of "[[Ringfinger]]", featuring different lyrics and less use of sample loops. The entire album has segues leading each track into the next.
