After Radiohead tried to turn the music business upside down by releasing "In Rainbows" via their website only by letting fans decided whether and how much to pay for it, US hip-hop and spoken word artist Saul Williams and Nine Inch Nails' frontman Trent Reznor decided to follow the Brits' footsteps.

Williams, who participated with backing vocals on the songs "Survivalism" and "Me, I'm Not" on NIN's "Year Zero", is going to release his new solo album "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust" as a download via NiggyTardust.com on November 1. Produced by Trent Reznor with programming by Atticus Ross (NIN, Tapeworm), the effort can be obtained via the above-mentioned website either for free or for $5, in case you want toВ support the work by Saul.

The music world is slowly but surely changing, ladies and gentlemen!
