Yeah, I was expecting much more lively, virtuoso stuff like the other piano composers I've heard. Can see how listening to this all day can drag on, but fortunately even the compilation I've got's a fairly small dose - looking at the running time of each track, it can't be any longer than an hour in total (which funnily enough's another thing that surprised me about the guy).
Either way, I'm having one of those nights when I don't really know what I feel like listening to, and Satie's great for that kinda situation.
