Penguin Cafe Orchestra

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra was a loose assembly of various musicians headed by classically-trained guitarist, composer and arranger Simon Jeffes (Sussex, England, 1949-1997). Only Jeffes and cellist co-founder Helen Liebmann were core members and other musicians were drafted for the requirements of particular pieces or performances. Their sound is not easy to categorise but has elements of exuberant folk music mixed with the minimalist, repetitive composition of Philip Glass.

This recording is from the artist Sleepthief and is titled ‘Labyrinthine Heart.’ It’s a bold statement to make. Not just anyone could get away with such bravado in a PR, but we’re talking about the ‘exception,’ the one in a million...
