-Frankly, I think this is bullshit; maybe he's talking about himself
(which he loves to do), but that doesn't that other people are
capable of it. The only increasingly nebulous nature here is the
level of remarks he's making. Musically speaking he made his
best work at the end of the seventies and early eighties, after
that he stayed on his static plateau, making start-up tunes
for Windows 95...
