NIN recently released Ghosts I-IV, an instrumental concept album... With it comes a 40-page booklet. If you like NIN, you can download the first nine tracks (out of 36) for free, including a digital version of the booklet (which is basically an image for each song).

I've taken some time to convert ever page of the booklet to 800x480 Background images, usable on the Internet Tablets. The Zip file is a 17MB download, but it's well worth it.

Download the Zip file here.

Enjoy,

Thanks Tim!

I downloaded the tracks last week and love what Trent Reznor is doing with this project. This is the future of music, were the artist distributes his own music sans the monolithic record companies.

Cheers!

Well, I gave him five eurobucks. I'd given more, but it's all instrumental, so...

Joking aside, the best stuff is past track nine.

Well, if you were going to give stuff away free, you would want the good stuff to be the bit you charged for!

But yes, I thought it was worth paying for too.

See? Something good came off Quake.

That was a depressing soundtrack to listen to when you had left the quake CD in the drive and it was just playing!

I was dating a goth chick back then. NIN repeatedly got me some...

Edit: Thanx, Trent!


(And no, I'm not a goth. I just like black )

I was too. But I married her!

Man, I love track #31. It simply kicks ***.

And, Karel... you're totally right. It goes radically uphill after track 9.

I couldn't resist and as soon as it got out, opted for the deluxe version ($75).

And if I hadn't been a dad recently, I would surely have bought the $300 version. If there's an artist that truly deserves it - especially with the "business" model he opted for - it's Trent.

I was totally convinced so after having watched Tool (my then favourite band) live, being disgusted by their overall attitude (and I had seen them before, and had loved the previous concert) and then watching NiN live for the first time a few weeks later... They played 3 gigs on 3 straight days here, and I had the luck of being able to watch them all. Trent and his crew were simply incredible, even playing through a major lighting failure on one occasion.

Actually, by doing the maths, I can pretty much pinpoint my kid's conception to the concert's date :P

So there you go, my kid's a NiN fan for life

Also, in what was Trent's first "test drive" into digitally releasing music on his own, check out Saul Williams' "Niggy Tardust". It's different, but has Trent's paws all over, and it's a very good album as well, even if you're not much into the kind of music Saul usually made.

i dated a chick about 7 years ago that if she heard Closer come on .... OMG i was in for it.

goth chicks.... the best reason for going to hell LOL *grins*
