The Penguin Cafe Orchestra is arguably the ultimate word of mouth group. You will rarely hear them on the radio or other media. But those who manage to stumble upon their richly melodic and utterly uplifting music invariably respond by asking, "where has this music been all my life?" quickly followed by, "which album should I buy first?" Union Cafe is a sprawling, diverse album that could be the Penguins' 'White Album.' It sees composer Simon Jeffes return to his classical roots, which gives the whole album a warmth and richness that keeps revealing fresh treasures with each listen. This is a re-mastered version of the original 1993 release.
