Style

The Ghosts Project differs stylistically quite distinct from other Nine Inch Nails releases. In particular, the absence of vocals and the guitar sounds only sparsely used are unique in the discography of Nine Inch Nails. The pieces are kept very synthetic and many pieces rather quiet and ambient -heavy, although there are also some rather scratched pieces.
