check "aphex airlines"

rumor:

"Richard was commissioned by Virgin Airlines to write a song for a television commercial, and he came up with the track Aphex Airlines. According to him, the song is supposed to represent how a jet engine feels at take off. Not surprisingly, the Virgin people didn't feel that the song would be very appropriate, they thought it would make people think of airplane crashes."

in fact, this appears on a compilation released by virgin records, so the rest might be embellishment
