Penguin Cafe Orchestra - CD - Music from the Penguin Cafe - REMASTERED 2008

Music from the Penguin Cafe - EG - 1976
Ê
This record is a manifestation of a dream that Simon had in Japan of a place called 
the Penguin CafŽ where a certain kind of unusual music is played. 

The record is, in effect, a compilation of at least three years' work in various 
contexts and with different musicians, mostly recorded on Simon's trusty A77 Revox 
tape recorder 'on location'. 

The original combination of musicians that rehearsed for, and played on, this record
was called 'the 4 musicians in green clothes'. By the time Brian Eno had adopted 
the project, and Simon had dreamt his dream, they had become the 'Penguin CafŽ Quartet',
members of the 'Penguin CafŽ Orchestra'. 

A section of the record is entitled 'Zopf' with slightly different performers and 
includes tracks that have become PCO classics such as 'From the Colonies', 'Surface 
Tension' and 'Giles Farnaby's Dream'. 'Zopf' means pigtail in German and was used in 
the 18th Century to describe a certain kind of light music played in coffee-houses. 
Later, Simon used the name for the PCO's own record label. 'Music From The Penguin CafŽ'
is a charming and seminal record that was to lead to a quarter of a century of 
innovative music. 

First released on Brian Eno's Obscure Records label in 1976 with the catalogue 
number Obscure 7, it was originally available from Island Records in the UK on mail 
order only. Since then it has passed to the Virgin label.
