At The Heart Of It All
Revision as of 09:14, 23 February 2025 by Tabanger (talk | contribs) (I don't think it's accurate to say that it's "misattributed to NIN". NIN is absolutely credited as the Main Artist for the track. On the album, it's not "Aphex Twin - At the Heart of It All" It's "Nine Inch Nails - At the Heart of It All". It just so happens to have the credits, Created by Aphex Twin, and nothing by Reznor. That doesn't change the artist, because Aphex Twin is not listed as the artist.)
