One of the PCO's 'upbeat' pieces was featured in Hear My Song - the film about Irish tenor Josef Locke. I think it was 'Music For a Found Harmonium'.
The first time I ever heard the PCO was on a little pirate radio station in London, sometime around the mid-80's, and it was 'The Ecstacy of Dancing Fleas'.

I enjoy both those pieces. For some reason my sons call PCO "balloon dancing music!" I don't quite like to ask why....

I don't remember that. What was the punchline?

I don't recall, it was a long time ago. I just remember these four or five blokes with no clothes on doing this little shuffling dance and using the balloons kind of like a fan dancer does to cover her *ahems*, but with a lot less grace
