Nine Inch Nails ancora una volta gratis
In una nota allegata alla presentazione dell'album "The Slip", Trent Reznor scrive: "Grazie per il vostro continuo e leale supporto nel corso degli anni. Questa volta offro io".
E lo fa sul serio. L'album è disponibile nei migliori formati digitali: MP3, lossless (FLAC o Apple) o file WAV 24-bit, 96-kHz WAV, per una qualità maggiore rispetto a quella del supporto CD. Stando a quanto riportato sul sito ufficiale della band, la release sarà disponibile anche su vinile e CD in vendita a luglio.
"The Slip" può essere ascoltato in streaming da lunedì su iLike o in download gratuito fornendo un indirizzo e-mail.
L'album ha una struttura più convenzionale rispetto al recente "Ghosts I-IV", composto da sperimentazioni strumentali astratte. Qui ritroviamo quella pienezza vocale e quei loop tetri e sporchi che hanno reso celebre Reznor.
"The Slip" non è solo gratis, ma è addirittura pubblicato sotto licenza Creative Commons. Sul sito dei NIN si legge: "vi incoraggiamo a remixarlo, condividerlo coi vostri amici, inserirlo nel vostro blog o nei vostri podcast, regalarlo a sconosciuti, etc".

Nine Inch Nails for free. Again.
Trent Reznor introduces his latest album, The Slip, with a note that reads, "Thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years -- this one's on me."
He means it. The album is available for free in what could be the perfect array of digital formats: MP3, lossless (FLAC or Apple) or 24-bit, 96-kHz WAV files that sound better than the CD would have, if Reznor had bothered to release one yet. Vinyl and CD versions will go on sale in July, according to the Nine Inch Nails site.
You can stream all of The Slip starting Monday on iLike or download it for free with a valid e-mail address.
The album is more song-oriented than the instrumental abstraction of the band's recently released Ghosts I-IV, with full vocal tracks and the sort of dark, grimy loops that helped Reznor make his name.
Not only is The Slip available for free, but it was released under the Creative Commons "attribution noncommercial share-alike" license. A note on the NIN site says: "We encourage you to remix it, share it with your friends, post it on your blog, play it on your podcast, give it to strangers, etc."
The MP3 version of the album is available as a direct download from a server, while the larger files (lossless and high-resolution) are available as torrent downloads. All versions come with a printable PDF with the album cover, the track listing and artwork for each track. The liner notes list the release date as January 2008, but aside from "Discipline" and "Echoplex" (.mp3) none of the songs have been previously released.
