	Satie Groove ?	"Satie Groove" is a Japaneese electronic band that plays (exclusively?) Satie music. Download "Gymnop Pop Mix" sound file from here and you'll see I'm not making this up. Your comments?
Harp and Soul Georgia Kelly, harp Richard Hardy, sax Includes Gymnopédies, see: Seventh Wave H107CD	First Impressions Georgia Kelly, harp Steve Kindler, violin Includes Gnossiennes, see: Global Pacific Records	I saw Satie called the father of New Age piano. Perhaps Bill Quist at Windham Hill bears some physical resemblance. I say there are exactly two kinds of music: good & bad. Give these forbidden fruits from the wrong marketing bin a listen; decide for yourself which kind of music they are. (Follow links to sample audio files.) Your comments?
