At the very least I learned the term "fuzak" while reading the comments.

j'adore ce mélange électro et autre musique, mais en plus avec satie le morceaux est sublimé bravo a l'artiste
Ahh the mischievous north wind calls...
Bill really likes this Satie piece . For years various versions have been the transition from one piece to an utterly different composition. And it works beautifully,

Can Toby Fox have a stab at this piece...
Erik Satie meets Alan Parsons prog rock?

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.

Me, I just close my eyes, listen to this beautiful sound from my earbuds, and feel this is at least an 8...

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...

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.
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.

Yes!

I don’t think so. The basic melody is retained but the complexity of the composition is smothered in electro sauce

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

This is, I think, the first time that I've agreed with thewiseking. This is a ghastly trainwreck by someone who palpably didn't understand the music he was so carelessly repurposing.
