Ghosts I-IV

Ghosts I-IV is the latest album from Nine Inch Nails. It’s my favourite release of theirs (well, I say theirs, but who am I kidding? It’s all Trent Reznor) since The Fragile. Completely instrumental, Ghosts is two hours of music that drifts in and out in a much more quiet and subdued fashion that us NIN fans are used to. It’s like the expansion and evolution of the quieter parts of The Fragile. This isn’t to say that there aren’t heavier parts, but it’s like a NIN album that you could listen to on a Sunday morning.

Ghosts has been released completely without support from the record labels and is available as a $5 download (at 320kb/s or Lossless) with a 40 page PDF, a bunch of really nice wallpapers and some other bits and pieces, as well as a range of physical media versions. In my book, that’s a sweet deal.

And it looks like this will be a continuing series, as Reznor writes; “I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts.
