Nine Inch Nails - Ghost I-IV (Anything similar?)?!
Question: I recently got Ghosts I-IV off NIN's site and have really taken a great liking to Trent's direction in music here.
Could anybody recommend some music that I could look into that would closely resemble the sounds of Ghosts I-IV?, preferably instrumental or with very little vocal.
Any and all answers are greatly appreciated.
If you are unfamiliar with the sound, open this url and go into the "listen" link while there.

There is a song called Garlic by In the Hole that has that same effect. I would think about surprises!!!
This is a bit dated but I would recommend Fear Factory's "Remanufactured".
BTW thanks for the hook up, I am a NIN fan...
Ambient pioneer Brian Eno is recommended, as well as other ambient-focused groups like Isis (which is a metal band) and Tim Hecker (who makes electronic music).
Ghosts I-IV is amazing...but it's difficult to point you towards something that isn't Trent's work that closely resembles the music and sound on Ghosts.
Although, I'd definitely reccomend Amon Tobin. His most recent album, Foley Room. For the album, Tobin recorded growling lions being fed at a safari, the industrial beats of a CD factory, plastic wind up toys, ants walking on tinfoil, and more.
He then wove these sounds together with instruments recorded in a foley room--an airtight little room, completely void of acoustics. The transparent quality of the Foley room left him the space to color the sound however he wanted in post. His genius resulted in a dark, rich album, unique and melodic.
