→Inspiration and samples
The line "falls wanking to the floor" from Bowie's 1973 song "Time" was featured in several remixes of "[[Mr. Self Destruct]]" from ''[[Further Down the Spiral]].'' A reversed [[samples|sample]] from the end of Bowie's "It's No Game" runs through the background of "[[Pinion]]".[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=327] The lyrics to "[[We're In This Together (song)|We're In This Together]]" may be inspired by Bowie's song "Heroes".
Bowie also possibly drew some influence from Nine Inch Nails. A beat similar to that of "[[Closer]]" was used in Bowie's 1997 track "Seven Years In Tibet". The beat (the kick drum that was sampled for "Closer" had been taken from "Nightclubbing" by Iggy Pop, a track that was co-written and produced by Bowie. ) Taking a cue from photographer Joel-Peter Witkin, the music video for "Closer" contains a scene of a bald woman wearing a black mask with a crucified Jesus on it. Though the influence could have come directly from Witkin instead of "Closer", a similar mask is worn by Gail Ann Dorsey in Bowie's 1997 video for "Dead Man Walking".
