英國特別的室內樂隊：企鵝咖啡Penguin Cafe

Music For A Found Harmonium

在收音機裏收聽他們的演出實況， 很特別，很喜歡重複某一個調子， 懷舊民調很濃， 就像咖啡一樣雖然重複喝， 沒有大起大落，但還是好喝的， 就是喜歡那種濃香。 他們有的音樂讓我也想起， 去蘇格蘭，路徑一些小鎮， 天氣不好的時候，街上沒什麽人，小酒館的外麵看沒什麽人，一進去，人很多，熱鬧, 很溫暖，就有想坐下來喝杯熱茶咖啡，休息湊熱鬧的念頭了， 聽他們的音樂有一種簡樸溫暖的感覺，很特別的樂隊。

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)
