Penguin Cafe Orchestra music CDs Product Description
Penguin Cafe Orchestra album The sophmore album from Simon Jeffes' homegrown band took over three years to record, but the signs are here that it was a labor of love. Penguin Cafe Orchestra CD music While drawing compositional and textural inspiration from both English folk and chamber music, it manages to sound like neither and a wondrous hybrid of both. "Walk Don't Run," a cover of the Ventures' classic, turns from a surf tune into a merry jig of sorts, with the violins and cellos playing the melody backed by drums, bongos, and shakers. "Telephone and Rubber Band" turns a busy signal into something full of beauty and joy. Unfailingly romantic, sunny music and an album that set the tone of all further PCO releases. ~ Ted Mills
