===La Mer (Alternate Version)===
'''''Running Time: 4:54'''''
Released on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1''. Also known as "La Mer" (Alt) when it was originally released on Apple Music as part of ''The Fragile Instrumental'', where it appeared to be marred with brief noise during the intro, potentially caused by a poor DAT transfer. This is a significantly different mix of the album arrangement, with a very different drum sound and more pronounced standup bass. The ending does not fade out or crossfade with "The Great Below."
===La Mer (Version)===
'''''Running Time: 5:16'''''
An nin.com exclusive from ''The Fragile'' era, this remix by [[Jerome Dillon]] and [[Keith Hillebrandt]] features much more percussion-oriented loops, using atmospheric and base elements from the original. The track is currently available for download at the [[remix.nin.com]] website.
