That list makes precisely the point. Beautiful as much of it is (and the Satie is surely one of my great favorites--how I suffered during the period in the early 1990s when it was frequently played on television commercials!), it is completely decontextualized in this presentation. They've turned into a lsit of unrelated 'tracks' like a popular music album, putting it into a new and quite wrong context.
When I first went to graduate school I decided I would susbsist on the local radio and just 4 90 minute home-made cassetes, but even those were not this chopped up.
One of the items, I msut confess, on those cassets was another sort of kitsch I admit I found quite amusing. There evidentally exists a suite (if that is the right term) of classical pieces turned into popular dance music in the 1920s, and I was able to get a recording of one of them--the Tannhauser Two-Step--that a radio host named Garrison Keilor once had performed on his show.
