When I was a stude at Shawbury, just a few years ago, I was wandering up Wyle Cop in Shrewsbury when I found a tiny record shop. Inside, I found an album by Simon Jeffes' (RIP) assemblage "The Penguin Cafe Orchestra" that had a track called "Music For Helicopter Pilots" - sold! Took it back to my room and played it; the track I was interested in was nothing special, but 2 other pieces ("Music for a Found Harmonium" and "Telephone and Rubber Band") have since become famous the world over through their use by the advertising industry. "Harmonium" remains my favourite, although the people I used to share a house with may have a different opinion... over-exposure can do that
