Trent Reznor releases five songs from his Social Network score

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Trent Reznor, he once of Nine Inch Nails, composed his very first film score for David Fincher’s THE SOCIAL NETWORK. While the film doesn’t come out until October 1st and the soundtrack isn’t released until September 28th, Reznor is offering up a preview for his fans.

How does it work? It’s actually quite simple. Reznor has offered up five tracks from the soundtrack – “Pieces Form the Whole,” “Eventually We Find Our Way,” “On We March,” “The Gentle Hum of Anxiety” and “Soft Trees Break the Fall” – as a sampler. All you have to do is head to the soundtrack’s official website, enter in your e-mail address and they’ll send you a link to download the mp3s.

While you’re there you can also order full copies of the soundtrack on CD, Vinyl and HD Blu-ray Audio (something I’ve never heard of but sounds awful fancy). Reznor himself left a message for fans regarding the soundtrack and the downloads:

“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.
