CD ReviewsThey have become an icon Stephen mcCormack | Spain | 09/29/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Since the mid 80's I have been listening to the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and am delighted to say that this stands up with all their previous works. The first track was so sweet - invoking the morning sun. By the time the second tune came on (Lifeboat) I knew this meant coffee - full bodied and strong immersed in cellos. Charming and disarming. I have always instinctively called Simon Jeffes' PCO "Still Life Music". Their music makes you stay in touch with nature and nostalgia both. At times almost wooden it's like a campaign to stop us getting too clinical, official or artificial in the increasingly more sophisticated yet often tasteless modern world. Thank you Simon for stepping out of the machinery. Long live the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. " Haunting Ending to "The Princess And The Warrior" Jan Edward Vogels | Long Beach, CA USA | 10/30/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "It only took me about an hour Googling around to find "Nothing Really Blue," by The Penguin Cafe Orchestra, the haunting solo piano piece that closes the film, "The Princess And The Warrior." It is NOT included on the soundtrack CD and it is NOT clearly referenced during the credit roll in the film. But this beautiful, stark and mysterious piano composition plays as the two main characters drive away from their troubles and towards their sanctuary on the desolate coast and as the camera slowly pulls back in a long helicopter shot."
