Vertigo

Great tune. Somewhere I have this record:

Have Some Fucking Responsibility…

This is my pal and mentor Felix Kubin:

This is the cryptic advice he offers me (ignore the bit about air conditioners):

But earlier I was reading this article about how the Aphex has 6 albums worth of material completed, and actually getting annoyed with Our Rich. Took me ages to see the irony!
