==Inspiration and samples==
[[Trent Reznor]] said in interviews that he played ''Low'' constantly during the recording of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' for inspiration. Incidentally, Reznor has been accused of using the main melody from Bowie's 1980 instrumental single "Crystal Japan" in Nine Inch Nails' 1994 track "[[A Warm Place]]." Reznor explained the similarity in an interview.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0RQCT69y5s&feature=player_embedded] The half-song, half-instrumental approach of ''Low'' was also a reference point as ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' was being written.[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=833]
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 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]
