Happy pickpockets and other musical rip-offs.
The American pickPocket Ensemble is hardly worthy of its name, since the entire repertoire from their cd ‘If I were a Highway’ consists of original works. Their colleagues from the Reptile Palace Orchestra, on the other hand, predominantly commit theft by addressing works from others. Not just golden oldies such as ‘Caravan’ and ‘Besame Mucho’ are being incorporated, even Satie’s ‘Gnossienne #1’ is at the receiving end.
