The 'Info' section of the site contained the following text:
"THINGS FALLING APART contains various manipulations of songs from THE FRAGILE recording sessions. The 10-track disc features new interpretations of FRAGILE songs by a variety of musicians, including members of Nine Inch Nails and the Nothing collective. THINGS FALLING APART also features two previously unreleased tracks: a cover of Gary Numan's "Metal" (from Numan's 1979 album THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE) and "The Great Collapse", a new song recorded during THE FRAGILE sessions and completed by Trent Reznor and Alan Moulder prior to NIN's 2000 U.S. tour. Produced by Reznor, THINGS FALLING APART follows a long line of remix albums from NIN, including FURTHER DOWN THE SPIRAL and FIXED."
