New NIN album available right now!!!!!

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

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."

oh sweetness, Year Zero hasn't even been out a year, has it?

There's a thing that says Halo 26, what was the Halo thing with YZ? I forget... wasn't it called Halo 7 or somethign?

I just bought the $10 thing.

Pretty sure that it was Halo 24. The Halos go back to the very first NIN release which was the single for Down In It (which was titled Halo 1) back when he was signed with TVT. He's continued the numbered Halos since then.

Yes, Halo 24!

gah Website is down now, can't order. But must.

Wow! the $5 download is available in FLAC. I'm sold.

damn, down for me too, this blows

Wow! the $5 download is available in FLAC. I'm sold.

I'm doing the $10, with the CDs in the mail. Just can't beat the CD player in the car. And I'm doing 320 kbps, that'll rape the Shuffle enough.

I finally got to the quantity screen, but when I hit next, ir crashes.

same, you can try Amazon I guess

I didn't think I could do the whole download/preorder thingon amazon.

I've heard that you can but I haven't checked it out myself

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00158SHD8/

The stuff on Amazon is only 256 kbps

yeah, amazon sucks, i'll wait... fuck

hmmm, it's letting me stream the album but not allowing me to proceed with the order, weird.

I got the CC info in, but the confirm page keeps wiggin out

By the end of this, I'll have a hundred copies.

Thank you! Your order is now complete. In a few minutes you'll receive emails from support@store.nin.com with your download link and receipt.

If you're going to have a 2 sided conversation, you might as well take it to sex and relationships.

I can beat them like the bitches they are.

More on this:

This music arrived unexpectedly as the result of an experiment. The rules were as follows: 10 weeks, no clear agenda, no overthinking, everything driven by impulse. Whatever happens during that time gets released as... something.

The team: Atticus Ross, Alan Moulder and myself with some help from Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew and Brian Viglione. Rob Sheridan collaborated with Artist in Residence (A+R) to create the accompanying visual and physical aesthetic.

We began improvising and let the music decide the direction. Eyes were closed, hands played instruments and it began. Within a matter of days it became clear we were on to something, and a lot of material began appearing. What we thought could be a five song EP became much more. I invited some friends over to join in and we all enjoyed the process of collaborating on this.

The end result is a wildly varied body of music that we're able to present to the world in ways the confines of a major record label would never have allowed - from a 100% DRM-free, high-quality download, to the most luxurious physical package we've ever created.

More volumes of Ghosts are likely to appear in the future.

- Trent Reznor, March 2, 2008

Listened to the first couple songs this morning. Bad. Ass.

OBTW, my aunt has a staph infection in her lungs, so she didn't go to chemo today. Next Monday I shuttle her.

BUt I shuttle her a lot, as my payment to her for letting me live at her place.

Dude, cancer sucks. Even when you don't have it.

Update: The response to this album has been overwhelming, causing our
website to slow to a crawl. We THOUGHT we were ready, but...
We've been adding more servers to accommodate the unexpected demand and we expect to be running smoothly in the next few hours. In the meantime, if you've had any problems with downloads from the Ghosts site, don't worry - you'll be able to use your download link again when the site is more stable. Thanks everyone for making this such an
immediate success.

We contributed to the crash!

I'm liking this so far, definitely a headphone album, but pretty cool. Track 28 is my favourite so far.

Definitely a headphone album. Albums like this are why I bought the SE210s.

It also the kinda music you put on before you go to sleep and get all trippy and dreamish.

Check this out then listen to track 16.

hmm, I'm trying to upload an mp3 but I keep getting a fatal error message. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? The file I'm trying to upload is just over 6 mb and it says that max file size for an mp3 is 8 mb. Any ideas?

Just as I found out about this, I came here to make sure you guys knew :P

Have you listened to it yet, and if so, what format did you choose?

truly painful

lol

That was Adrian Belew, the guy is a legend.

If it'll let me, I'll try uploading some of this stuff again... at least you can't complain about screaming and whispering with this new stuff.

Edit: nope, not gonna work for some reason, this thing is messed.

hey, I've got one of his records, good stuff. The link that I posted was just Belew fucking around, that wasn't an actual song FYI.

Ghosts 28

I've been trying to upload that one, won't work for some reason. thanks though!

I had to upload it to my server, first.

ah, that makes sense.

I really dig this new stuff. Really artsy.

I feel cultured.

have you checked out the pdf yet?

it's on my PC at home.

I'm on my laptop at my aunt's right now.

well, the $300 deluxe edition has already sold out so let's see... 2500 copies x $300 = $750,000. Not bad for less than 2 days

$300 is an awful lot for so carved up PVC...

I didn't pay for it....

Nor did I.

I probably should have though, bet I could have flipped it on ebay for like $600.

I don't know... I wouldn't have risked it.
