Since Radiohead released In Rainbows online, other artists have been tinkering with ways to release music online, most notably, my favorite Trent Reznor. Reznor recently released an instrumental album online, Ghosts for free and for pay in a variety of formats. The best way I can describe the music is ambient/experimental. It’s very nice, but not recommended for long drives or you’ll nod off on the steering wheel.

Over the last couple of weeks, Reznor released a couple of songs that seemed to be either stand-alone bits and pieces or part of a full-length album. Fans were told to check the NIN website for a surprise on May 5th.

I somehow remembered to check and Woot!, a new NIN album online for free!
