Bandleader Simon Jeffes composed the leadoff track "Music for a
Found Harmonium" on a harmonium he found abandoned on a Tokyo
street, which offers an inkling of the musical inspiration that
sprang from this remarkable Englishman. As usual, he gathers a
loose aggregation of musicians who create stunning, free-flowing
acoustic sounds that defy categorization. Jeffes includes brass
here for the first time on a Penguin Caf‚ Orchestra recording.
Recorded over three years, the band's third album is worth the
painstaking studio overdubbing by its leader, who died of a brain
tumor in 1997. ~ Mark Allan
