“I wasn’t aware until then that our shared near-death experience in France propelled Simon to dream up a place called the Penguin Cafe, where penguins serve the Japanese soul food that is Okonomiyaki and wine that makes you feel lighter, float even—a colourful, magical place far away from those big grey buildings where everyone is neutral, numb and anonymous.”

Even though we aren’t living in Podomoro City anymore, we finally got the chance to enjoy a slide of cake at Union located in the Tribeca area of Central Park (and Endang forgot to pick up her croissant to-go).

PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA (Union Cafe)

Union Cafe was the last studio album recorded by the original Penguin Cafe Orchestra and marked a move towards a definitive English pastoral sound combined with larger string arrangements set against longer solo piano pieces. With this last album they got even closer to the PCO idea of squaring the circle of intellectually challenging modern music that is still actually beautiful.
