Saul Williams' new album released today - http://www.niggytardust.com/ - you can download it free or pay $5 and unlike radioheads free this is free. It's not ebm/goth/industrial/whatever but Trent Reznor produced and worked on it so some of you scary people may be interested.

I'd say it's a kinda mix of Hip Hop, Punk Rock, Spoken Word and clear NiN influences. The Sunday Bloody Sunday cover a possible Elizium track ;)

Excellent i had no idea this was out yet, I loved his last album, and seriously reccomend it to anyone.  (when i saw him support NIN he made them look really bad.)

Any chance I could, um, "borrow" the album off you? I can provide webspace if needed?

I take it you mean the previous album, sure no problem i'll erm rar it or something...  doesn't fizzgig frown on this kind of talk? :P 

whats your email so i can send you a link?  (tried to pm using elizium.net but won't work for some reason)

btw after listening to the new one....... i feel dissapointed.  Trent Reznor, not content with ruining just his own albums has decided to ruin one of the most promising talents in hip-hop's new album.  Its not good..  the lyrics are still good, but a lot of it sounds like the same fucking synths and drum loops found on NINs last two albums, which kind of puts it out of place with what saul has to offer.

It's still got a few good tracks on it.. and who knows it might grow on me, but first impressions aren't too good.

Yeh I have to agree, the samples I've heard of the previous album are much better than this one. Trent has stuck his nose in far to much resulting in an album that sounds like NiN with a new singer...which is probably the best thing they could do ;)

My email is ryan at my witch hunter website, which ends .co.uk I assume you can put that together ;)

Thanks.

p.s. The companion cube!!!
