==About==
==="Crystal Japan" resemblance===
[[Trent Reznor]] has been accused of ripping off the theme of "A Warm Place" from David Bowie's 1980 single "Crystal Japan". He did state that Bowie's album ''Low'' (1977) had the biggest influence in the making of ''The Downward Spiral,''[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/display/557] though ''Low'' does not contain "Crystal Japan." Some have claimed that what is heard is deceiving; that from a musical theory point of view, there exist significant differences between the structures of the two melodies.

'''Reznor''': So I played it for a couple other people and said, "I think this is something off ''Low'', this just sounds familiar...I don't know what it is." So we did it, record's out, and one day I was talking on the phone and I got ''Scary Monsters'', which came out on Rykodisc finally. And so I put that on and it's got bonus tracks at the end. And I'm listening and this song comes on that, to my horror, it's the same..."Crystal Japan."</blockquote>
