Trent Reznor Releases New Songs For Free

Hot and talented Trent Reznor released a new Nine Inch Nails album on his blog last week, a 36-track instrumental collection titled Ghosts I-IV. Reznor describes his new work as "music for daydreams." Like the Saul Williams collaboration that Reznor helped bring to market, you can obtain the new music for free (the first nine tracks of the album) or $5 (all 36 tracks); however, he's also giving his diehard fans the option to shell out even more money. Since the site's presently slammed, we'll give you the full details on how you can help support Trent's further musical efforts--for as much as $300!
