Satie for Relaxation Product Description

Satie for Relaxation by Allen / Hannibal / Satie / Stoltzman was released Mar 07, 2000 on the RCA label.

The notion of his music as relaxing background music would have no doubt appealed to Satie, who conceived of "furniture music" which could be "part of the surrounding noises... melodious, softening the clatter of knives and forks, without imposing itself."

Nice pleasant music
A few of the cuts are not relaxing, which surprised me. There is some repetition of themes, with different artists.
