Default Musical Experiment?

There's more to it than that. There have been a number of studies which
suggest that some types of classical music (*) engage often undeveloped
parts of the mind much more than others. Some people (and I make no
judgements whatsoever) simply love this while others are scared stiff.

(*) This is a complex area, but current research suggests that it is
the essentially patterned-based styles of most 18th-century music that
do the trick - hence the endless Vivaldi, Bach and Mozart.


Oh, come on! Surely it's just the company using it trying to give
themselves a veneer of 'sophistication', similar to slapping a classical
facade onto a building.
