Any excuse to type the words “Academy Award winner Trent Reznor” is a good one, so with that, there may be another chance to give the guy an honor: the Nine Inch Nails frontman has finished constructing his score to forthcoming flick “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” with longtime collaborator Atticus Ross, and now he’s giving some of it away.
Check out the beautiful album artwork.
I’ll write more about the sound once I’ve actually seen the film, but this moody, dynamic sampler is enough to know that there’s a lot going on here. The lush six-track teaser can be downloaded for free, through Reznor’s NullCo site, with pre-orders for the usual purchases, like a digi download, a deluxe and standard CD. The best part of all that, is the album is actually three CDs long, for the price of about one.

The digital set will hit on Dec. 9, this Friday. The physical merchandise arrives week of release, when David Fincher’s film drops on Dec. 21.
Reznor and Fincher worked together on last year’s “The Social Network,” which earned Reznor and Ross an Oscar for Original Score.
