Really in to Penguin Cafe Orchestra ever since I found the self-titled on vinyl in a thrift shop years ago (actually  guess a lot longer because I have a vague memory of hearing Music For a Found Harmonium on TV somewhere when I was 9 or 10 and just instantly memorizing the melody, learning to play it on my fist toy keyboard and just about every other instrument I got my hands on for years but never hearing it again or knowing who did it until I finally got Broadcasting from Home in, I don't know, 2011 or 12).  I've got a few of them but I never picked up When In Rome, how is it?

Don't know yet, it's the only one still on the way from a Discogs seller, but I'll let you know. If you haven't, also check out the continuation of the group, Penguin Café. which is run by Simon Jeffries' son Arthur. I've had a long-time preference for the newer instance, but decided to finally get the original ensemble's output as well - had to get the CDs as only Union Café is available in digital.

I got the CD in the post yesterday, and I've been listening to it today - it's a beautiful live recording, there's intermittent applause, but the music is exquisitely recorded and mixed, and the selection is fantastic and fun; a big recommendation from me.

If I remember right, it's the music from their ballet, which I recommend watching.

The ballet's called Still Life at the Penguin Café, and there's a DVD/VHS of it, but no CD release.

I've been on the prowl for 808 State's double CD releases with Archives I-IV, i.e. 90ex:elGorgeous, and Don Solaris. After that the only one I'm missing is Quadrastate, still waiting to find a decently priced copy (anyone have a CD copy they want to part with?).

90 is definitely my favourite 808 State album, it has an awesome dramatic arc.

Brian Eno - Music for Airports (had to replace my copy)
King Tubby meets Roots Radics - Dangerous Dub (classic of dub reggae)
Dave Angel - Tales of the Unexpected (solid full length by a great techno producer)
JB3 - Close Grind (one of my favourite techno albums by this legend)

And I got these because nostalgia bit me hard:

The Locust - The Locust
The Locust - Flight of the Wounded Locust
The Locust - New Erections
The Locust - Safety Second, Body Last
Blood Brothers - March On, Electric Children
Blood Brothers - This Adultery Is Ripe
An Albatross - Blessphemy (Of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear Warp Kumite)

Yesterday was bandcamp Friday (maybe the last ever :O) So I preordered the new Loraine James CD, Reflection. I also bought the following:

DAWN - Redemption (which is like R&B/dancepop with almost all production handled by Machinedrum, doing some footworklike beats),
RP Boo - I'll Tell You What,
Jurg Frey & Radu Malfatti - II,
Keith Rowe & Sachiko M - contact,
and last but not least, Taku Unami & Takahiro Kawaguchi - Teatro Assente

Tim Baker - Audio Implant (1999) RIP Tim https://mixmag.net/read/detroit-techno-house-dj-tim-baker-elephanthaus-died-news
Donald Byrd - Places and Spaces (1975) Some people called this him selling out but really, it's a classic of the intersection of jazz, funk, and disco... not much other disco on Blue Note Records, I tell you what

Deeeeeeeeeetroit

I just bought a copy of Jay & Silent Bob Reboot OST to the get the extended version of Q Lazzarus' Goodbye Horses. Really tempted to get the vinyl version of the OST to have this track playable from vinyl.

This track was featured on Jonathan Demme's Silence of the Lambs; Q Lazzarus on her unwanted fame. Vinyl copies for the original release go for 500+ USD on Discogs. Married to the Mob's OST has the 7" version, might get that at some point too.
