A message from Trent explains what’s going on more fully …

This is what Atticus and I have been working on for the last few months. We had a great time working with David Fincher on this and the film turned out excellent – something we’re very proud of. It opens in theatres Oct 1 and you should check it out.

Musically, this all came out of our secret laboratory – electronic in basis, but mostly organic sounding. Lots of experiments and emphasis on sound fraying around the edges while focusing on the proper emotional tone for the various scenes.

Regarding the purchase options, sorry about the “clunkiness” of not offering the full record digital download pre-sale (and having to visit Amazon). My agenda was to be able to offer this for the lowest possible price and this was the best way to achieve that. Amazon has been a great partner with past projects and I appreciate your understanding.

– Trent Reznor, 9.16.10

The Social Network is a movie about Mark Zuckerberg, the origins of Facebook and how he became the world’s youngest billionaire; it will be in theaters on October 31st. Based on the subject matter and the preview, I can’t wait. 🙂

Just in case you are wondering (because I certainly was), the haunting remake of Radiohead’s Creep in the trailer is performed by Scala & Kolacny Brothers.
