I can confirm this. I registered my email when I downloaded the
previous album (Ghosts I-IV) and I received one email from them
offering concert tickets. In any case, in all this time I received
that single promotional email, so it's not like my inbox started to
get flooded with junk.

I eventually bought Ghosts I-IV (and will eventually buy this new one)
and it must be said that the price was $10 for the plain vanilla
version. Can't beat that for a double CD. Of course, not having middle
men and getting 100% of the price tag minus operating costs is what
makes it possible.
