This is the only known version. The looping degradation that closes out the track is likely inspired by ambient musician William Basinski's ''The Disintegration Loops''. Basinski was mentioned by [[Trent Reznor]] in a 2019 interview with ''Revolver'' magazine.[https://www.revolvermag.com/music/revolutionary-vision-nine-inch-nails-studio-visit-trent-reznor]
