About this album
Broadcasting From Home is one of Penguin Cafe Orchestra’s most graceful and distinctive albums, blending chamber music, folk textures and offbeat melody into a sound that feels both carefully composed and disarmingly light on its feet. Released in 1984, it deepened Simon Jeffes’ singular vision for the group, where violin, piano, percussion and small instrumental colours turn pieces like Music For A Found Harmonium and Music By Numbers into miniature landscapes. The album helped cement Penguin Cafe Orchestra’s reputation within the neo-classical and contemporary crossover worlds, appealing to listeners drawn to music that is precise, whimsical and quietly emotional.
