  The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust - Saul Williams. I just signed up. I easily gave the $5. Saul Williams + Trent Reznor + Alan Moulder = me stoked.

  Anyone else sign up?

  Kinda catchy. I usually prefer Saul without music, but this is okay. The Sunday Bloody Sunday, was a pleasant surprise. The music though stands on its own. Trent and the others did a decent job.

  Anyway, give it a download. 192 kb for free? Nice.

  listening now.
  great stuff.
  good version of sunday bloody sunday, great use of P.E samples.

  thanks for the tip, great album!

  heard Sauls stuff before and think ive got some vinyl but never really been that impressed.
  like this though, kinda phat distorted breaks like older Tricky stuff.

  :)

  i'd be curious to know who did what on which track. i will hafta check my folder when I get home. $5 for flac files. pretty decent. it isn't the greatest album i've ever heard, but it is worth more than $5 to me.

  i really like the artwork in the PDF that comes with the album. it also lists who did what on the album. seems like the music on almost all tracks was mostly done by trent reznor.

  Holy shit is the music great. Sounds like an experimental NIN album.

  I grabbed the free version, but will have to go back and pay the $5, just because it's a solid release.

  For the record, I dig having the option to check it out and make sure it's a good album before buying. Nice!

  I think the track listing is outta wack though. Tr(n)igger seems to be Track 4 and Sunday Bloody Sunday is Track 5.

  I'm hopeless.

  I downloaded this early this morning. Hopefully the music will make me forget about the name.

  i didn't notice the "tar" as much as "niggy". thanks for saying something. looks like i still have quite a ways to cough up my institutional racism. saul always seems to be pushing the "right" buttons to get people thinking. hopefully.

  you know jay, I wouldn't necessarily think that because you didn't notice "tar" you're buried under institutionalized racism. A lot of people wouldn't even know wtf the term "tarbaby" alludes to anyway. But yes, Niggy Tardust definitely got my mind going with it. When I say this thread in the PVN this morning I though "Oh hell no... "

  Yeah, i was unsure how to title the thread, but i thought i should take a risk. Saul Williams is one of the greatest performance artists i shall probably ever experience. Like many threads on NT, the more alluring, controversial, or interesting the title the more people will see/respond to it.

  i think Saul's work should be heard by as many people as possible, especially since he has teamed up with trent.

  i thought the title was an interesting play on Bowie, but i am just realizing the depth of what Saul is trying to say.

  The track "The Ritual" is quite a charged track that seems to be quite satirical, no, more sarcastic, but it could easily be seen as/heard as a weak copy of Hostyle, or something.

  For what it's worth, sorry about the title, it wasn't intended to offend.
