31 Ghosts IV
This is the only known version. Aggressive drums and guitar riff start the song. A distorted synthesizer plays, and drones fade in underneath, leading to a heavy guitar riff reminiscent of Fragile-era songs. The riff ends, and synth noise plays in its place. The guitar riff re-enters, followed by layers of noise that build up and end abruptly, leaving a quiet drone that ends the song.
Live
According to a nin.com post by Rob Sheridan, NIN played "31 Ghosts IV" live in Seattle on July 26, 2008. It then become a staple on the Lights In The Sky Tour.
Differences in Artwork
It should be noted that much of the artwork embedded in the files of the official download of Ghosts I–IV from nin.com are not just cropped versions of the photographs in the PDF. In this case, the two photographs are completely different.
