Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Everyone should have some Penguin Cafe Orchestra on their hard-drive, if you havn't then d/l this now.

These guys were ticking the "cool" box in the '80's and '90's (First album released via Brian Eno's record label? Check. Supported Kraftwerk? Check) with a unique ambient (?) sound that pre-dated Moby by being used on more TV commercials than you could shake a stick at.

This is their eponymous second and generally regarded as best album from 1981.

01 Air à Danser
02 Yodel 1
03 Telephone and Rubber Band
04 Cutting Branches for a Temporary Shelter
05 Pythagoras's Trousers
06 Numbers 1-4
07 Yodel 2
08 Salty Bean Fumble
09 Paul's Dance
10 The Ecstasy of Dancing Fleas
11 Walk Don't Run
12 Flux
13 Simon's Dream
14 Harmonic Necklace

This is a special record. The first one is a little dreary. I used to have the vinyl, and had my eye out for the cd for years.
Never found, and no longer looking. Thanks.
