I wish this was released on a proper 12" single. The cover would look awesome on vinyl! Or maybe even just adding this track to the Fragile would be have been cool. I think it would have fit the album better than starfuckers inc.

one of nine inch nails' best singles. meat beat manifesto, plug, and spacetime continuum provide incredible remixes, and trent reznor even adds another interpretation of one of his most famous songs. 2 downfalls to this single though - 1) the orb mix. it just isn't very good at all. while the beat is good and you can get into it, it makes a lot of the song incredibly annoying, and 2) lack of the original track. if you can get a hold of the import version, i highly recommend that since it contains a 6th track - the original version

This is, and has been for quite some time, the number-one CD in my whole collection, the single was an awesome song to begin with, and when some of Reznor's Nothing Records label mate got their hands on it, it took on the form of pure break-beat perfection. I love, especially since I'm an amen breaks junky!!!
