[I] that bit of incidental music someone mentioned

[MikeXXXX]

Some time ago a post gave a URL asked if it could be identified.

This morning whilst driving I noticed that the music in the radio was
that very same sound so I listened to the announcer.

Here are the clues - reduced due to hands being on the steering wheel.

Simon Jeffe
Perpetuam (something)
there was some reference to something called Pengiun Cafe
he was in France and fell ill, was slightly dilerious and kept hearing
this pattern of music.

oh - just found this

I'm sure this is the same music.

The composer Simon Jeffe
The composition is called Perpetuum Mobile
and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra is a great name with a short, but
fascinating history.

more info at

Perpetuum Mobile is listed in the Discography on several od the CD's -
one of which was recorded by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

I think the one I heard on the radio was on the 'Still Life and four
other pieces' recording - look about halfway down this page
