I didn't realise that this was by Penguin Cafe Orchestra, but now that I know I can't believe I didn't make the connection since I love Music For A Found Harmonium so much!
The question preying on my mind now though is, where have I heard this before?
I'm sure it was used in a movie or TV show but I can't for the life of me think what it was!
OK I just did a quick google search and found that it was used in a BBC Horizon documentary called "Fermat's Last Theorem" (shown in North America as part of the PBS series 'Nova' entitled "The Proof") and more recently in the animated Australian film Mary and Max (2009), both of which I've seen but I think the latter made the greatest impression!
Still, however I discovered it, it is nw one of my favourite pieces of music.

The reason the origional is interesting is that the main theme doesn't fit into a 4/4 time signiature - its 15 quavers long - they've missed out one of them and it ruins it!
@LoneFolkie we didnt miss it! i wanted the arrangement exaclty like this ;) but this live video is just rough sketch - final version from the studio will be a lot better...
It's ok but I find here to much of disharmony. Sometimes this innovating cacophony simplicity wont let to delight. You forgoten that the secret of this opus is the simplicity. ;)

Oh I lied. In this version, they went off 7 beats unlike the original which is based off of 8 beats.

You must play the intro, not just go straight into the body of the piece!

This is really faithful to the original PCO version yet thoroughly different as well. Bravo!
