VA - "Erik Satie Et Les Noveaux Jeunes"

Erik Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd. "The laziest student in the Conservatoire" (where he was labelled untalented by his teachers) has left the world some very impressive (and introspective) compositions - of which the Gymnopédies and the Gnossiennes are the most famous.  

 This tribute double-album offers 32 tracks, and a jaw-dropping list of contributors boasting names like Library Tapes, Max Richter, Julia Kent, Part Timer, Rachel Grimes, Sylvain Chauveau, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Goldmund, Pan American, Hauschka, Peter Broderick, Nils Frahm, Dustin O'Halloran...among others.
