Music band Nine Inch Nails has published its most recent album “The Slip” as a free download under a creative commons attribution non-commercial share alike license. Included are ten songs, which can be accessed via a registration that requires users to provide their email address.

The band distributes the music files as MP3 (320 Kb/s), FLAC, (CD-quality) M4A or uncompressed WAV (24 bit/96 KHz) via torrent networks. All downloads come with artwork and credits in PDF format. The Slip is scheduled to be released on vinyl and CD in July of this year.

The band members said that they “encourage [downloaders] to remix [the music], share it with [their] friends, post it on [their] blogs, play it on [their] podcasts, and give it to strangers.”

I would like other bands to watch and follow suit. This will make more money in the end for them.

If you like NIN you might be interested in the album I just finished last month. It is also available free, donations are accepted. We are also doing a name your own price CD (starting at cost price). Politics Apocalypse is political and subversive post-industrial rock with an interesting mix of classical instruments, guitars, electronic beats, and a small dash of aussie hip-hop. You can download the whole 11 track album at no cost at our website. http://www.politicsapocalypse.com
