Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Perpetuum Mobile
I believe classical music is the root to techno/house/electronic music. In a sense music has come full circle in style, but the end is a much more inhuman product. Not in a negative since, rather in the since that it is digitized and doesn’t contain imperfections from human-made mechanical machines and human error. The style is molded to fit the lifestyle of today.

Avicii - Fade Into Darkness
Album - The Battery Pack
A lot of music today composes of sampling and taking tracks from the past. Its not so much about mimicry as it is about perfecting the sound already there. Avicii takes a classic classical tune and uses electronic coded sounds to created a perfect sounding (in terms of pitch and tune). Its like auto-tuning classical music.
