Rock band Nine Inch Nails is giving away its first nine songs from the 36 track project it began working after they broke up with their producer Interscope. Customers can either download the nine songs free or can pay $5 for the entire digital album.
Nine Inch Nails, the Industrial-Rock band became a free agent in the music industry after it cut relationship last October with its former music producer Interscope. They are
releasing their first music album after the breakup for free as well as for a small fee.
You can either download their first 9 tracks for free at
this link or you can
pay $5 for the entire digital album a total of 36 tracks.
They also sell deluxe versions of their album with interviews, books, lyrics etc., for an additional price.
Nine Inch Nails led by Trent Reznor started selling their instrumental album, “Ghosts I-IV” on its website
http://www.nin.com, last Sunday. They seemed to have followed another musical group
Radiohead which gave away their music album with customers paying their own price for it. That project turned out to be very successful for Radiohead, who said they received more money than their earlier projects with the music industry.
Ever since this announcement, plenty of fans flocked their site and it crashed soon after. They have upgraded the site, it is functioning now, but the download links are not working properly. I tried it yesterday it didn’t work; hopefully they will fix it soon.
The music album of Nine Inch Nails comes in DRM free version. Besides the free and download versions, you can also get a double CD for $10. The deluxe edition costs $70 and an autographed version costs $300.
After Nine Inch Nails’ contract with Interscope expired, the label released a remix album, “Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D.” The band’s last studio release, “Year Zero,” debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. album charts last April.
Will Nine Inch Nails group become successful with free and paid versions?
