At last Trent Reznor has released an instrumental album - Ghosts I-IV, available on the net for $5 for the download version, $10 for a 2 CD physical release and $300 for a signed limited edition set. There is also a cheaper (ahem) $75 version. Only the download version is available now. I'm the biggest NIN fan I know and as tempting as the 'limited edition' package is, I can't help feeling that people are messing with the music distribution tranditions a bit too much. Reznor tried a Radiohead-esque experiment with Saul Williams which didn't get expected results but I would pay more for a new NIN album. So why put the whole thing online for practically nothing and then offer outrageously priced special physical releases? Is this the future...I hope not.
