Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I-IV

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 (also known as Halo 26) is the sixth studio album by Nine Inch Nails and was released on March 2, 2008. It contains 36 instrumental tracks and was recorded in ten weeks of autumn 2007. Initially intended to be a five-track EP, the album is presented in the form of four nine-track EPs. The tracks do not have names, and are only identified by their track listing and position on the EPs.

The album's initial release on the official Nine Inch Nails website suffered problems as the website crashed upon the album's release, and was not fully operational until March 4, 2008 because, according to Trent Reznor, they added extra servers to handle the influx of downloaders. The album is also available for download on Amazon MP3. Each track from the downloaded album has its own album art. A 40 page PDF document of the album's liner notes was included with the official downloads. The PDF can also be requested for download at the official website. This is also Nine Inch Nails' first release as an independent band.

This is one album I think people should purchase (if they like what they hear). It is only 5 bucks to get a high quality download of the entire album (in FLAC, Apple Lossless, or 320 Kbps MP3). What NIN is doing is important in the fight against the greedy music corporations and the outdated system of album sales.

Support them and their cause!
