: Interesting question. I
do definitely see it as a precursor to the similar, but superior (in my opinion) "Underneath It All." I'd be shocked if they didn't start as one piece, or if "Underneath It All" didn't evolve out of "Claustrophobia Machine." And the parenthetical "Raw"—which I originally speculated might mean it was connected to the
Niggy Tardust track called "Raw"—coupled with the sound of the track makes me wonder if indeed it is closer to a demo than the rest of the apocrypha; and thanks to "Piggy," we know Trent isn't hesitant to play demo drum tracks.
