Aphex Twin Matchsticks (Total Annihilation)?

[Five Step Path]

The track Matchsticks (or last track on the SAW2 album), seems very similar to one of the (orchestral) soundtracks of the PC game Total Annihilation. I played the game countless times when I was just a little kid so I know it like the back of my hand. I read a interview with Aphex Twin where he mentions Total Annihilation being one of his favored games. So I wonder if the game had any influence to create a track such as Matchsticks?

 

Here's some background of the game:

The beginning of Next Heap With reminds me of Total Annihilation a lot.

 

Since SAW2 came out 3 years before Total Annihilation I'd find it hard to believe he got the inspiration for matchsticks from it...

Can't you install windows on Macs now a days? I think you need bootcamp and then the Windows cd.
