Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails just can’t be stopped. When you think he’s done everything an artist can do promote digital distribution and give a giant middle finger to the record labels he blows your mind again. Nine Inch Nails Lights in the Sky Tour Sampler was released yesterday via digital download from www.nin.com. It has been a busy time for Nine Inch Nails, in the past three months Trent and company have accomplished the following:

• Released a 4 disk 36 track instrumental album. 9 tracks were released completely free via BitTorrent. He also offered a digital download of the entire set for only $5.00. A download and physical CD for $10.00, a special edition including a picture book for $75.00 and a signed limited edition for $300.
• Released the single Discipline to radio stations just hours after it was mastered.
• Released the single Discipline along with Echoplex directly to fans for a free download.
• Released a new 10 track album "The Slip" for absolutely free in MP3 and high quality formats. This one was "on him."
• Purchased a large amount of tickets from each of his tour stops to release a pre-sale to keep the best tickets out of the hands of scalpers and in the hands of true fans.
• Releases a free 5 track sampler album of all acts opening for Nine Inch Nails on tour this summer… dubbed "Lights in the Sky." Trent also released a download of more HD 1080p Wallpapers with the release, see below for a preview.

It’s a great time to be a fan of Nine Inch Nails… for nearly a decade Trent would come out with new material every 4-5 years and now without being under the lock and key of a record label it looks like we may have new material 4-5 times a year. Below is a preview of the wallpapers that you can download here.
