This could be interesting, I have been a NIN fan off and on for awhile, most of trents stuff rocks well, but some have been "out there" for my tastes, I am going to check out the music and see if this stuff is good and maybe get the $75 package, just for the DVD. Could be very interesting, what do you guys think?

$75 - Ghosts I-IV in a hardcover fabric slipcase containing: 2 audio CDs, 1 data DVD with all 36 tracks in multi-track format, and a Blu-ray disc with Ghosts I-IV in high-definition 96/24 stereo and accompanying slideshow.

Interesting, but I don't see any multi-channel mixes mentioned. I suppose someone with the wherewithal and appropriate software could mix their own in 5.1 (or whatever) - I want to get that SW eventually for my own 5.1 mixes of my own crapola music.

Unless I'm reading something wrong? The "multi-track format" stuff means, just like "Year Zero Remixed", the basic studio individual tracks (multi-tracks) are provided for the consumer's own sir-mix-alot preferences.

That's how I understand it too, multitrack files so the listener can mix and match the way he or she wants to. The music on this album has amazing surround potential, though, and it would definitely be interesting to create your own surround mix.

Of course you'd need the time and the patience, which I probably don't have...

The blu-ray disc from the $75 deluxe edition features the album in a 24 bit 96 Khz stereo mix with an accompanying (presumably 1080p) exclusive slideshow while the music plays

Maybe Penteo will mix it for us! :)

If I am reading the copyright print correctly, he could. As long as he acknowledges that it was sourced from NIN.
