...yes...I did say album!
With the realization that DVD-Audio is dead, could this be the beginning of more "mainstream" music being released in a high-rez format? (I hate calling NIN mainstream because I don't believe it is, but you know what I mean).
Anyways, Trent Reznor, the man who clearly loves quality, has decided to release "Ghosts: Parts I-IV" 24/96 stereo on Blu-ray. Just audio. Perfect! (It's also available as CD or digital download only from the website and Amazon).
How about releasing the rest of the catalogue the same way? He had mentioned that 5.1 work had be done for The Fragile as well as Broken and Fixed.
Can't wait to hear this in high-rez. Now all we need are some awesome BD transport/DAC combos or players like we've been enjoying with CD...not this Japanese stuff.

Re: New Nine Inch Nails Album "Ghosts - Parts I-IV" on Blu-ray!
Nice. I wondered if Blu Ray had any potential to become a player in Hi Rez audio. I have the Downward Spiral on SACD, which was a nice effort, and the Beside You in Time HD-DVD sampler, so I've been aware of Reznor's commitment to Hi Rez for a while. I guess he doesn't feel that SACD is the way to go any more.

Re: New Nine Inch Nails Album "Ghosts - Parts I-IV" on Blu-ray!
i would have never known if my friend didn't call me. i haven't visited NIN.com in months because the site doesn't change much. my friend actually saw it advertised on a top ten new album list listed as #1. he was like "when did nin come out with a new album?" and proceeded to check the website and found his answer. i'm glad he found out when he did. being only the second day up, i'm a happy fan to have snatched a limited edition deluxe set with Trent's autograph.

Not the biggest NIN fan but I do respect Reznor as a musician and I do own cd of Downward Spiral. Dont care for him personally
Regardless of my feelings toward him this is a neat idea and I hope it works.

I'm not a huge "With Teeth" fan. There are a few good tracks on it. If I had to pick a favourite of the newer stuff, it would be Year Zero even though I'm not a fan of political albums.
Broken, The Downward Spiral, and The Fragile are three great albums in my opinion...although I can see how a new listener to NIN could get "lost" listening to an album like The Fragile.

Yeah, it's a pity that Broken wasn't a longer album. I love the raw, angry sound of both the music and the vocals. I need to buy a new copy of The Fragile. Mine is scratched up and I think it's time to give up waiting for the SACD.

I'm more partial to Pretty Hate Machine and Year Zero, but I like this idea. I have no issue with paying $10 for the 2 CD set and getting the downloads in the interim. Can't justify the $75 for the 4 disc set including the BD mix, especially since I don't have a Blu-Ray player yet.

Year Zero is one of those albums that grows on you. You get away from it for awhile, you go back and you're pleasantly surprised.

Re: New Nine Inch Nails Album "Ghosts - Parts I-IV" on Blu-ray!
I haven't listened to GHOSTS yet. I haven't even downloaded it from the link. I was waiting for the web traffic to die down, but now that's probably cleared, now I'm not sure what format to download it to. I've decided against MP3 - I want at least CD quality before my BD arrives. So that leaves me with FLAC and iTunes...although I'm not really versed in this downloadable technology. I plan to put it to an iTunes player, so maybe I should get the iTunes one. Can I make a regular CD from it?

Depending on your software, FLAC can be kind of difficult to burn to a CD (at least it thwarted me in the past). Of course, I'm no expert on that sort of thing...
