Given the Slip

The Slip, NIN cover.

In Trent Reznor's words "Thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years -- this one's on me."

What's on him is the Nine Inch Nails new album The Slip. Free for download to real email addresses or via torrents. What's cool too is that it wa 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." So no DRM at all.

The MP3 album I downloaded was an 83MB Zip file and even has a printable PDF that has the album cover, liner notes, track listing, and artwork for each track. Pretty cool really.

I may not be the world's biggest NIN fan, but I have listened to some of the ten tracks already and it has a good combo of looping instrumentals and vocal tracks.

Give it a listen.
