Wow. This came out of nowhere. 36 track instrumental piece

http://ghosts.nin.com/

The first disk is free in 320kbps MP3 and the rest costs from $5 US for the full 36 tracks + artwork pics.

I have had this playing on loop at work. He is back on form.

Ghosts I (The free one) is the quiet one of the 4 and there are some real hash soundscaps in the later disks.

Wow

I have to go change my pants.

Apparantly the fiver will go towards the sniper who is programmed to headshot everybody saying that 320kbps mp3 isn't good enough. Worth it!

Available in FLAC also though

I have to say that I tried getting this last night, eventually managed to, and that I was disappointed that it's all "movie" or "background" style music, and entirely instrumental (yes, I know they said this anyway, but still).

That's not say it's bad, because it's certainly not. I was just hoping for a little bit of some classic Trent singing and lyrics They have said that more is coming, so who knows..

I will also point out that I've actually bought it twice, since it's such a decent deal!

10$ shelled for the double-disc digipack with booklet. Downloaded the songs too and annoyed my colleagues at work.

I know what you mean that its a departure from his norm But I love Ghosts II & III, nice and brutal. I like his instrumental pieces. There is one on further down the spiral just after hurt that I love. slow mellow and very dark in nature. First time I heard that piece was sat on the cummuter train on the way to London Victoria, just sat there watching out the window and it fitted so well with the drab greyness around me

The .zip file finishes downloading about .1 of a second after it begins. There's no data in it.

Is the server overloaded?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it elsewhere.

Mines still downloading. *shakes fist at slow internet*

Try the torrent?

Before the mods ask, it is official.

Yep, grab it from ThePirateBay. Trent has offically seeded Ghosts I onto TPB servers.

why the heck does it ask for an email address and a captcha for a free download ... gah

Because he's Trent Reznor and he loves you.

Please, more threads like this so people can see the light

Oh well. Looks like the release has worked well...

All 2500 copies of the special limited edition $300 pack have sold out and copies are appearing on ebay for $1000+

So from sales on those alone Trent has made 2500 * $300 = $750000.

That is before all other sales are taken into account.

Radiohead just went off half cocked on their one with 160kbps mp3s etc.

So happy this is working out, hope all artists keep going the same way until all the big brands notice theyre playing smart asses, without the smart part.

I ordered my 75$ copy yesterday, and I dont feel ripped off in the slightest since its going straight to Trent's pocket, not Interscope.
