Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I - IV

Ghost I - IV is the sixth album by Nine Inch Nails. The album contains 36 instrumental tracks separated into four divisions entitled Ghosts. This is their first album without attached to a record label contract. It was first released on March 2 as a free digital download.

NIN offered this album in numerous forms from a free digital download at their site to a $300 ultra deluxe limited edition box set, where 2,500 copies were made and sold out once it was announced. Other formats include a two-disc release, a vinyl release and a deluxe edition release.

Trent Reznor sought assistance and contributions from Error's Atticus Ross, premier producer Alan Moulder, Modwheelmood's Alessandro Cortini, King Crimson's Adrian Belew and The Dresden Dolls' Brian Viglione, together they built this superb album packed with exploding rhythms.

"This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective - dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams," said Reznor.

Ghosts I–IV features a wide assortment of musical instruments, including piano, guitars, bass, synthesizers, marimbas, tambourines, banjos, and xylophones, with many of these instruments being sampled and distorted electronically. Percussion instruments, contributed primarily by Brian Viglione, were largely constructed out of house-hold items.

This is one of the most remarkable work Reznor has done.
