Nothing against Eric Satie by all means!
Like democracy defined by the US nation, this is in the same ballpark of (American) stupidity. Just boundless...

Putting this up under Eric Satie shows the level of American consciousness behind this scam. Everything can be sold in huge numbers to a non-assuming publice.
well, why on earth not?
The beginning is a mashup between Satie and the Interstellar soundtrack...before it gets to the pop sugar section.
Why is it that "covers" of classical get to use the original artist's name?  Satie has been dead for 100 years.

This is Grandbrothers...but would anyone listen if they didn't borrow the composer's name?
A step above the original. It's like Eric finally got some happy pills...

Bill, this should not be attributed to Satie as the artist, but to the "reworkers". It's a very different piece of music loosely based around an existing piece.




It says attributed to both artists. And your use of the word 'loosely' is loosely used. I hear the original's theme solidly and consistently throughout this piece.
Yes!

Far too much sauce; pop sugar bombast sauce. Bad sauce for the kids who haven't the taste yet but harbor the ambitions for refinement - or something like that.
Sorry, but no.

Satie is buried in here somewhere beneath all the techno beats...I'm all for new versions of classics but I'd rather hear Erik's original version than the iMusic beat loops. 
Interesting. The metadata shows the artist as Satie, but he’s the composer, not the performer. Wiki link goes only to Satie.
Definitely prefer the other version we often hear here. But this is interesting none the less.
And now for something completely different!...
Holy cow.  How many other covers are out there?

I'm not sure how to square this one with the Chicha Libre offering, let alone the original.  Yikes.
New version to me
