Sixth studio album from industrial rock pioneers Nine Inch Nails. Ghosts I-IV was originally recorded in 2007 following the band's breakup with Interscope Records. Frontman Trent Reznor set out the rules for the recordings as follows: "10 weeks, no clear agenda, no overthinking, everything driven by impulse. Whatever happens during that time gets released as ... something." He worked with producers Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder, and treated the recording process as if they were creating a soundtrack. The result was a nearly entirely instrumental album that many have characterized as dark ambient. 36 tracks in all. Released by The Null Corporation on quadruple vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve.
