What Are You Listening To? - Music Head - 16-01-2010
Tiggi Wrote:I was a big Genesis fan in my teens, and saw them live several times from about 1980.With the exception of classical there are few instances where I can appreciate instrumentals. I'm sure I would feel different if I played an instrument.
They always spectacular lighting & stage sets, and Los Endos was always used as a show-stopping piece. Cos of that I've always had a soft spot for it...
Funny old world, innit.

Love is a battlefield - by Pat Benatar
What Are You Listening To? - gryphon - 17-01-2010
This is the third offering from Mike and is the shortest of his early symphonic works..........When asked how he wrote his music...........Mike has been quoted as saying that his technique involves talking walks and writing music in his head that suits the walk..............So, this must be one of Mike's winter walks......(Always makes me think of snow landscapes)............Also we have the third recorded featuring Mike " The Horse Song" from what I have read about Mike at this time, this reflect the thing that made him happy at the time..............riding his horse around Hergest Ridge on the Welsh boarders

What Are You Listening To? - gryphon - 18-01-2010
I love this particular CD and other by PCO.There are not easy to put into a particular category
The wiki says:
The Penguins' sound is not easily categorized, but has elements of exuberant folk music and a minimalist aesthetic occasionally reminiscent of composers such as Philip Glass. ......................I believe that there is a connection with the avant garde and people like Pierre Henry ..........Telephone and a Rubber band is rather like his Variations on a Door and a Sigh.
The PCO is the creation of Simon Jeffs:
Describing how the idea of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra came to him, Jeffes said:
“ In 1972 I was in the south of France. I had eaten some bad fish and was in consequence rather ill. As I lay in bed I had a strange recurring vision, there, before me, was a concrete building like a hotel or council block. I could see into the rooms, each of which was continually scanned by an electronic eye. In the rooms were people, everyone of them preoccupied. In one room a person was looking into a mirror and in another a couple were making love but lovelessly, in a third a composer was listening to music through earphones. Around him there were banks of electronic equipment. But all was silence. Like everyone in his place he had been neutralized, made grey and anonymous. The scene was for me one of ordered desolation. It was as if I were looking into a place which had no heart. Next day when I felt better, I was on the beach sunbathing and suddenly a poem popped into my head. It started out 'I am the proprietor of the Penguin Cafe, I will tell you things at random' and it went on about how the quality of randomness, spontaneity, surprise, unexpectedness and irrationality in our lives is a very precious thing. And if you suppress that to have a nice orderly life, you kill off what's most important. Whereas in the Penguin Cafe your unconscious can just be. It's acceptable there, and that's how everybody is. There is an acceptance there that has to do with living the present with no fear in ourselves.
I think this is an interesting album that will appeal to a wide range of people. Give PGO a try and tell me what you think .

My favorite ELO album. Had to put that out there just in case we never get to a Best Album Poll for them. A concept album around the theme of a fantasy journey to escape reality. Hell, I do that every day. Their first album on which an orchestra was used rather than overdubbing. The album reached #16 on the U.S. charts with a single of Can't Get It Out Of My Head. Did not chart in the U.K. What's up with that?
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Illusions In G Major
Best Track - Can't Get It Out Of My Head
Midnight on the water.
I saw the ocean's daughter.
Walking on a wave's chicane,
staring as she called my name.
And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head.
Breakdown on the shoreline,
can't move, it's an ebbtide.
Morning don't get here till night,
searching for her silver light.
And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.
Bank job in the city.
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me.
Sitting till the sun goes down,
in dreams the world keep going round and round.
And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.
No, I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no no no.
