This is an extraordinarily-sparse track that, yes, has a more-than-passing resemblance to Blue Monday. But that's kind of music in a nutshell.

I mean, consider Nine Inch Nails' "A Warm Place:"

A number of people have pointed out that it bears an eerie resemblance to David Bowie's "Crystal Japan:"

Considering what Trent Reznor grew up listening to, however (he's on record saying "Down In It" was an homage to Skinny Puppy's "Dig It") it was more likely inspired by Depeche Mode's "Stripped:"

...which could easily have been inspired by David Bowie, but at that point, who cares? "Stripped" is a much more developed, lush track that includes stuff that 'Crystal Japan" could never have, while "A Warm Place" takes that which "Stripped" added to "Crystal Japan" and pulls out all the Bowie.

And all three songs exist.

Before too much discussion like this, we'll end up staring at our navels and discussing the legitimacy of Squarepusher and the Amen Break:

The fact of the matter is, Frank Zappa pushed Gerry and the Holograms and nothing came of it. Blue Monday is a legend. Saying "yeah, but something else came before" is always true.
