"This album consists of six pieces of music, two from our previous albums, two from our previous albums, two recorded live in Toyko last year, and two new pieces: PIANO MUSIC, recorded in a basement whilst I was staying in Tokyo after our tour, and THE TOY which we recorded today." - Simon Jeffes, 23/3/83
I luckily happened upon this one in Amoeba Music the other day and decided it would be the first vinyl rip to inaugurate the phoenix-like rebirth of my old blog from its ashes of neglect (...).
I also discovered that, in a felicitous crossing, Nana Vasconcelos, someone who I've been interested in quite a bit lately and who will surely appear on this blog in the future, was a sometime member of PCO (not on this release, though).
My favorite here is the new track "The Toy," I love the little arpeggio melody that carries the tune. This gang was on to something.
Here's some trusted wiki-info on how the band got started, from a bad meal dans le Sud de France...
1. The Penguin Café Single (Music from the Penguin Café)
2. Air À Danser (Penguin Café Orchestra)
3. The Toy (Previously unreleased)
4. Numbers 1-4 (Live in Tokyo)
5. Salty Bean Fumble (Live in Toyko)
6. Piano Music

(For the click-squeamish: I've felt pretty safe about downloading with ADrive, no weird malware here as of yet, better than mediafire in my opinion)
Looks nice, and rare.... link dead; any chance of repost?
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to kindly ask for a repost.. grateful in advance.
ReplyDeleteHello, would you be up for a re(re)post? A big PCO fan, I sadly missed this one the first time around, and then the following time you reposted it, too.
ReplyDeleteHello, and have a good year all around - I've noticed you're not active so much here any longer, still I thought I'd ask for a re-post of this Mini Album's rip, if & when it's convenient for you.
