Didn't know that Simon Jeffes passed away in '97. His son dropped "Orchestra" from the name and kept the torch burning. [ Reply ]

Horsechestnut Apr 08, 2012 - 06:07	Ever since I heard 'Bean Feast' on 'Desert Island Discs' chosen by the actor Jonathan Price some years ago I have loved Simon Jeffe's 'Penguin Cafe Ochestra' and saw them once before Simon's early death. I know of no other radio station that would play their music and this is why I support RP, thanks to Naim's iRadio selection. [ Reply ]

It's one of those tracks that goes unnoticed on the first few listens and seeps into your conciousness. Then: bing! You notice it. Well, that's how it was for me. I didn't know the PCO until now but, listening to the track samples on Amazon, I realise several are familiar (from ads on TV or film soundtracks). I like the minimalist style. Reminds me of some of John Adam's work. Anyway. This album is clearly a classic collection and I've just ordered it via the RP affiliates link to Amazon UK. Thanks for playing the track :) [ Reply ]

Dave_Mack Apr 26, 2011 - 14:11	I think this is a very nice song, but I agree with comments regarding the oboe part. It's such a simple part that it ought to be much farther down in the mix, and ought to be played on pitch. I could forgive some of the style problems if it were a more moving part. [ Reply ]

IrieTom Dec 21, 2010 - 22:20	Way back in the day my college roommate (guitar) and I (violin) used to play "The sound of someone you love who's going away and it doesn't matter" at open mike nights. Of course, nobody in the audience knew what the hell we were doing, or where it came from. [ Reply ]
