'all the onscreen video is rendered by Moment Factory's custom rig, a trio of Linux-based devices collectively known as "the brain.".'

And for the record, that light show kicks so much ass. Some truly impressive effects. Some of which are on youtube, but cellphone captures really don't do them justice. If you get the chance to see this tour, even if you aren't a huge NIN fan, I really recommend it. I remember 20 years ago, people were saying similar things about Pink Floyds lightshows. This is all that, and so much more. (And apparently still being refined/enhanced, making me eager to see them again. Vegas at xmas maybe?)

Also, that wired article has confirmation that the 'nine inch fail bsod was intentional. Well duh.

I'm curious to find other stuff the moment factory guys have been responsible for. They're based in Montreal. Maybe we can get them to keynote next years OLS :)

It's no secret that I'm a huge Nine Inch Nails fanboy, so naturally I was hyped over the new album. But this is seriously awesome.

So the first CD (1 of 4) has been uploaded to the piratebay by the band, as kind of a 'teaser' I guess.
"If you like this, pay at least $5 for the other tracks". (Or more if like me, you wanted to splurge on the boxsets).

I wonder how many will actually just leech the other 3 CDs from torrents too instead of paying the $5. (Or $10 for the 2 CDs)

Until my boxset arrives, I still get to enjoy the full 36 tracks, as the purchase process also gives a download link to a 600mb zip of flacs. Yum.

Finally, someone figured out how to do music distribution the right way.
