Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Broadcasting from Home (1984)

Broadcasting from Home is the fourth album by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and was released in 1984 on E.G. Records. The opening song was named after PCO leader Simon Jeffes found a discarded harmonium in an alleyway in Japan.

The original vinyl record was pressed by Virgin/Polydor from a damaged master and had a distinctive click on the first track. Virgin/Polydor wouldn't pay to restore this, and fans therefore had to wait until the CD's release to hear the undamaged track.

Simon Jeffes siempre consideró que no tenía suficiente formación musical para ser un músico clásico Y aunque vivió en muchos países, y estaba loco por la música de muchas culturas nunca quiso hacer "música del mundo".Un hombre tranquilo, que tenía una simple y raro talento, la capacidad de crear música sublime.

 El tema de apertura Music for a Found Harmonium fué nombrado asi después de que Simon Jeffes encontrara un viejo armonio desechado en un callejón en Japón y se ha convertido en uno de los temas mas populares de la Penguin.
