New Nine Inch Nails Album "Ghosts - Parts I-IV" on Blu-ray!


...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.

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.

wow.... no mention of this is in the HTF music forum... perhaps bigger news than the Blu ray release is the simple news that NIN have a new album out. Suprise release, free download, and 3 more albums in the works!

Not much chance of the rest of the catalog the same way... they are owned by Interscope and TVT, who Trent has public feuded with. This album being free is a good way to rub it in to them.

EDIT: Got all my answers.

Anyway, I'm surprised that there was no announcement of this (a la Radiohead) to hype it up and that they just put it out with no fanfare.

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.

Re: New Nine Inch Nails Album "Ghosts - Parts I-IV" on Blu-ray!


75 bucks was a little pricey to me for just instrumentals.

granted i did pay 5$ at amazon though to get it. About halfway thru now, the pdf booklet has some nice photos in it, im assume that is what comes in the book too.

A 5.1 of pretty hate machine never came about cause tvt wanted reznor to do it, but not pay him to do it. Maybe with thier financial troubles someone can pick up the nin stuff and get it back to trent which would be nice.

Hopefully he left interscope on decent terms and they will be willing to work with him on the fragile and letting him legally own his masters.

oh, and i did start a new post in the music forum this morning before i saw this one.

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.
