To continue the story…so Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor experimented with a revolutionary method of releasing his music to the masses and without the involvement of the record companies with his Ghosts I-IV album.  Not too long after that (around May) he decided to release his next album, The Slip, for free via the internet as a thank you to his fans.  Personally, I think to release this album in this manner (for free over the internet) is a ballsy move….and it’s paying off for him.

To get your own copy of ‘The Slip’ just follow this link:

Here’s the first Video from ‘The Slip’ called ‘Discipline’.

If you have been living under a rock as of late you don’t know the ground breaking work that Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails has done with his music.  Recently out of his contract with Interscope records he began to experiment with ways to release music on the internet.  His first release was Ghosts I-IV.  This is a selection of 36 instrumental tracks that are not only optimized in the most original manner in Apple’s iTunes but it comes with a whole bunch of cool stuff and extras.  The amount of extras depends on how much you spend.

You have many different options to choose from.  Here’s the ordering page:

http://ghosts.nin.com/main/order_options

…as you can see you can get tracks for free, for $5, or if you want to spend more you can get additional goodies at the $10 and $75 levels.

If you want to get a sample of what the album is all about, you can listen to Ghosts I-IV in it’s entirety.

Tomorrow, I’ll post links to his new album that can be downloaded legally for free.
