Ghosts

Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I - IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I - IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.

Trent Reznor explains, "I've been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn't have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective - dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams. I'm very pleased with the result and the ability to present it directly to you without interference. I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts."

Ghosts I - IV is available in several formats from a free mp3 download version to the $300 limited edition package which includes: the download in mp3, flac, or apple lossless format for immediate access, 2 audio CDs, 1 data DVD with all 36 tracks in multi-track format, a Blu-ray disc with Ghosts I-IV in high-definition 96/24 stereo and accompanying slideshow, along with an exclusive four-LP 180 gram vinyl set in a fabric slipcase, and two exclusive limited edition Giclee prints in a luxurious package. Limited to 2500 pieces, numbered and signed by Trent Reznor.

On a side note (because I've been discussing licensing music under the Creative Commons license with a friend quite a bit recently):

Update: Since nin.com is having problems keeping up with the load at the moment, you can get a 256kbps AAC version of Ghosts I-IV via BitTorrent or directly here. Enjoy it now, buy it later!

In the meantime, you can buy the whole new record at Amazon if you are in the U.S., or you can get Ghosts I at The Pirate Bay if you know about torrents, or or RIGHT HERE directly.
