At The Heart Of It All

"At The Heart Of It All" is the seventh track on 1995's Further Down The Spiral. It's an instrumental track that was created by Aphex Twin for Nine Inch Nails. A track of the same name was previously released on the Coil album Scatology.

It is the only song to appear on a NIN record to have no musical involvement from Trent Reznor, and as such is frequently misattributed as a NIN track.
