Nine Inch Nails gives you “The Slip” for free

Where were you on Monday, May 5th at 12:00 A.M.? Hopefully (just like me) losing sleep and downloading the absolutely free NIN album, the slip, at nin.com. Marketing and musical genius Trent Reznor has done it again, but this time he’s giving back to all us loyal fans by ’slipping’ the album for no cash exchange whatsoever. The final digital product comes complete with album art and lyrics. Each song has its very own simple logo that conveniently displays itself on your iPod screen during the song. Can’t do without your physical copy in this budding digital music age? Vinyl and CD formats will be available for purchase in July.

I love that Trent Reznor is putting himself at the forefront of this innovation in music marketing. He has been really forthcoming with his stats in the past. I am anticipating the release of these numbers as Radiohead has yet to release the results of their experiment with “In Rainbows” from late l2007.

We can add NIN to the ranks that seem to get it when it comes to changes in music industry monetization.

The question now is will he make any attempt at making money from “The Slip” or will be use it as a trust building tool to bring people in when he releases another online only $250 box set.
