Nine Inch Nails has self-released a new instrumental album, Ghosts I-IV.
Consisting of 36 instrumental tracks described as "music for daydreams" and released under Creative Commons, it is available in a wide range of formats (MP3, double CD, multitrack audio DVD-ROM, vinyl, 40 page book).
The free MP3 download includes the first nine tracks (each with unique artwork), wallpapers, and a PDF of the 40 page book.
Available directly off nin.com, you also have the option to torrent it via official NIN profiles on Waffles, what.cd and The Pirate Bay. Absent from this release was any kind of leak of audio or information. Record labels and artists should take notes: This is how you do music distribution.
IN SHORT, go to ghosts.nin.com, click on ORDER, and the free download is on the top right. There are ****loads of paid options too, with more tracks available if you go that route.
I've been listening to all 4 parts all day, and it grows on me a bit each time. It takes a while to get into the vibe of shorter, less directional NIN songs, but after reading about the recording of it (including sessions with Adrian Belew!) and how they stuck to the rules of making an album in 10 weeks and not getting bogged down in traditional, meticulous NIN programing and being like "music for daydreams", i got really into it... It kinda sounds like if Trent was a kid now making music for the first time and self releasing it, except he's enough removed from his old self that he doesn't feel the need to shove every NIN stereotype into a new release. Yes you can tell it's Reznor, but to those of us who are into his sensibilities but sometime question his direction (or in some's views lack-there-of), this album doesn't disappoint. I love seeing NIN getting more stripped down and almost off the cuff feeling. Not that they sound similar, but I wonder if Trent's been listening to Liars at all recently...
Now that some time's past for people to digest it, is there anyone here who's actually listened to the Ghosts who wants to discuss it or share their opinions on it? It's so refreshing to see Reznor growing out of his Rock Star shell and making music that allows him to explore his creativity and isn't designed for radio play. The haters are really missing something fantastic with this one...
