Saul Williams Sees Radiohead, Raises Them In Bitrates


Earlier this month, it was Brit rockers Radiohead who went upside the head of the global music industry and released their new album, 'In Rainbows' directly through a proxy website they set up. Making the album available through 160Kbps MP3 digital downloads at a name-your-own-price policy, they sold an estimated 1.2 million downloads the very first day.
Now avant-garde spoken-word poet/rapper Saul Williams is raising the bar that Radiohead set: Williams' new album, that Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails executive produced, "The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of Niggy Tardust" will be made available several different ways from his website Niggy Tardust:
  • 192Kbps MP3 - if you choose not to pay a cent for it
  • 320Kbps MP3
  • FLAC lossless audio

All versions include a PDF with artwork and lyrics
All files are 100% DRM free, and can be played on any device. The last two high-grade quality offerings are available for some price that is not yet known.
