Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor Offers New Experiment

Nine Inch Nails kingpin Trent Reznor has followed up last years Year Zero with the new Ghosts I-IV, a collection of experimental recordings — both in the sonic and business sense.

The four Ghosts volumes collect 36 untitled instrumental tracks, which Reznor crafted during a 10-week recording period late last year with help from King Crimson guitar hero/Middle Tennessean Adrian Belew, revered producer Alan Moulder and a host of others. The alt-rock elder statesman is releasing his Ghosts in a similar manner to his recent collaboration with spoken-word poet Saul Williams, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust — fans can download some of the music for free, or purchase different Ghosts configurations at various price points.

The free download option includes the nine tracks of Ghosts I as DRM-free MP3s, a 40-page PDF of liner notes and a collection of digital extras. For $5, fans can download the 36 Ghosts tracks in total, along with the liner notes and digital extras.

A two-CD set a gatefold digipack with a 16-page booklet runs $10.

Amongst the bounty in Reznors $75 limited edition deluxe package: two CDs, a DVD with all 36 multi-track audio files, a Blu-ray disc of high-def stereo recordings, and a hardcover book with 48 pages of photographs by Phillip Graybill and Rob Sheridan. The $300 ultra-deluxe package adds four 180-gram vinyl LPs, two limited edition, exclusive Giclee prints and other extras there will only be 2,500 of these, and all are numbered and signed by the artist himself.

A four-LP vinyl version will hit stores April 8, for $39. Further Ghosts volumes, a news blast hinted, may pop up in the future.
