-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...
