Nine Inch Nails Album Free on BitTorrent



"Nine Inch Nails" frontman Trent Reznor is making good on his promise to offer free music via the torrent services (peer-to-peer programs that use the BitTorrent protocol). The band's first offering comes from its new instrumental record, Ghosts.

Reznor notes in a release that accompanied the announcement:
Hello from Nine Inch Nails.

We're very proud to present a new collection of instrumental music, Ghosts I-IV. Almost two hours of music recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I-IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.

Now that we're no longer constrained by a record label, we've decided to personally upload Ghosts I, the first of the four volumes, to various torrent sites, because we believe BitTorrent is a revolutionary digital distribution method, and we believe in finding ways to utilize new technologies instead of fighting them.

We encourage you to share the music of Ghosts I with your friends, post it on your website, play it on your podcast, use it for video projects, etc. It's licensed for all non-commercial use under Creative Commons.

We've also made a 40 page PDF book to accompany the album. If you'd like to download it for free, visit http://ghosts.nin.com/main/pdf

Ghosts I is the first part of the 36 track collection Ghosts I-IV. Undoubtedly you'll be able to find the complete collection on the same torrent network you found this file, but if you're interested in the release, we encourage you to check it out at ghosts.nin.com, where the complete Ghosts I-IV is available directly from us in a variety of DRM-free digital formats, including FLAC lossless, for only $5. You can also order it on CD, or as a deluxe package with multitrack audio files, high definition audio on Blu-ray disc, and a large hard-bound book.

We genuinely appreciate your support, and hope you enjoy the new music. Thanks for listening.


The free tracks compose the first of a four-volume set--nine out of 36 tracks. Users can pick up the entirety of Ghosts I-IV for an extremely reasonable $5, via NIN's official site.

The music is also available in a variety of other price points, including the uber-fan Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition Package, which features two CDs, a DVD, a Blu-ray disc, and four 180-gram vinyl LPs, numbered and signed by Trent Reznor, all for the low, low price of $300.
