I wonder who would turn down such an offer. Besides it's a different
story: Caustic Window came out on Rephlex which Aphex has a direct
link with unlike the Ambient Works that came out on R&S. He probably
made good money from the Rephlex one and much less from R&S.
All in all, I don't consider it a blasphemy to have an IDM track used
in a commercial. If it can spare you several months stuck in a stupid
job that you can spend at home making new music instead, it's all
good. :-)
