lol nat, your list,
those are the first most obvious things a prankster would do
its not that hard :>
& the trax - I could do this eyes closed & I am not even the best producer
in the world - and its even easier if you are an aphex fan who makes
"aphex-trax" for yeeeears anyways - its not that you have to try hard
those tracks are 90s - nuttin special
I am waiting for sb. who fakes future aphex trax
& I agree it doesn't matter at all,
I just have fun
