Lyrics for this song have yet to be released
i was written by Aphex Twin.
i was produced by Aphex Twin.
Aphex Twin released i on Wed Feb 12 1992.
I remember thinking, ‘Hey, where did that come from?’ it’s always a mystery, you know. I suppose it was really simple what I’d done, but I didn’t know I could do it.
