The most famous of the tracks is "O Fortuna." Slip "Camina Burana"
into
a five CD changer with some nice Russian symphonies, perhaps on random, and
you've got nice non-distracting background music. Or so i think.

The group I used to play in used a lot of Erasure for some reason. I
will always associate "Abbaesque" with firefights and mayhem. Shrug.
