Music For A Found Harmonium

在收音机里收听他们的演出实况, 很特别,很喜欢重复某一个调子, 怀旧民调很浓, 就像咖啡一样虽然重复喝, 没有大起大落,但还是好喝的, 就是喜欢那种浓香。 他们有的音乐让我也想起, 去苏格兰,路径一些小镇, 天气不好的时候,街上没什么人,小酒馆的外面看没什么人,一进去,人很多,热闹, 很温暖,就有想坐下来喝杯热茶咖啡,休息凑热闹的念头了, 听他们的音乐有一种简朴温暖的感觉,很特别的乐队。

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra was the creation of classically-trained guitarist, composer and arranger Simon Jeffes (Crawley, Sussex, England, 1949–1997). Jeffes and cellist co-founder Helen Liebmann were core members throughout its life. A number of other musicians joined the collective as the band grew and developed, and many of these appear on the PCO's six studio albums as required by the instrumentation of particular pieces. The PCO toured extensively during the 80's and early 90's, and two albums, "When in Rome" (1988) and "Concert Program" (1995) captured the sound of the live ensemble. The Penguins' sound is not easily categorized, but has elements of exuberant folk music and a minimalist aesthetic occasionally reminiscent of composers such as Philip Glass.(wiki)
