Ein weiteres Beispiel, wie sich, oftmals ohne oder gegen die grösseren Labels, sich die Musikindustrie zu verändern beginnt. In ihrem FAQ schreiben NIN dazu:
Q: Is Ghosts I-IV available elsewhere?
A: You can also purchase the download from Amazon’s MP3 store right now. The deluxe versions are available for pre-order from Artist in Residence (A+R) as well. Check out their other work.
The same 2xCD you can purchase here and a $39 4x vinyl edition (on 130 gram vinyl in a double gatefold package) will be available at retail in North America (April 8), Australia (April 5), the UK (April 8), Japan (April 5), and most European territories (April 8).
Q: Is the musical content of the CD versions any different from the downloads available here?
A: No, the CD versions contain the exact same 36 tracks as the full download.
Das Album von XBloome gibt es ebenfalls auf http://www.xbloome.com zum freien Download – Lizenz “CC”!
