Label: EG
Not many bands are inspired by dreams brought on by bouts of food poisioning. In fact, I can only think of five to have originated through this method. Penguin Cafe Orchestra (aka 'Fucking Awful Orchestra' according to other listeners) were an avant-garde band from the 1970s. This, their debut album, is generally considered to be not as good as their sophomore attempt. As far as this album is concerned, I was immediately attracted to its ambition and originality and I feel it would reward repeated listening.
Rating: 7/10
