Well, when you've heard one, you've heard them all.

If you have ears of cloth, perhaps.

Bosse was wrong. You didn't deliver.

Me thinks "banal" is too big a word to be supported by such a generalization.

Have you really listened to Satie?

Ray Charles
Monk
Medeski Martin and Wood's 1st album "notes from the underground"
White stripes album "get behind me Satan" (skip 1st song)
Most Mingus

Finally I agree on something with seitse. Indeed there is not much wrong with Satie. If you want perhaps more complex piano music then try Scriabin or Granados. Nothing wrong with simplicity but sometimes ones ear craves a more involved work. Beethoven's late sonatas are in this category as well.

I have some other MMW albums, what makes that one the best?

not the best, just the only one where Medeski plays all piano. 'It's a Jungle in Here' Might be my favorite, but that is mostly Hammond B3 and Wulitzer.

The more recent and thoroughly excellent Radiolarans II has piano all over it too. 'It's a Jungle in Here' is my desert island pick too, btw.

I'll give them a listen.
