I think Mozart would have used a lot more notes! This is more like Steve Reich or Philip Glass, but I have to say it works well.  ;)

I love the original Cafe del Mar track. To my shame I haven't heard of Steve Reich or Philip Glass but glad that you think it works ok. The rest of it looks quite fun too http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b063s4gx/bbc-proms-2015-season-radio-1-ibiza-prom. Maybe it will get younger people interested in classical music?

Yes, it might well do, Taz.  I haven't got Flash player on my laptop but from the photo, it certainly looks very well attended.   It's being exposed to music that makes the difference, I think.  Thanks for posting that.  (Note to self - must get flash player!)

Just listened to that Taz it was good.  Thanks for posting the link.
I can see where Dulciana is coming from with Philip Glass, don't know Steve Reich at all.
I thought some parts sounded a bit reminiscent of the Pet Shop Boys, btw I quite like them.
Whatever, it's all music.
