anyone know about this lot? recently discovered them and
they have alot of music on adverts (well 2 i recognise).
really cool stuff

most famous one being this one

zshare.net/audio/3225735a9c6343

"Telephone & Rubber Band", which is based around a tape loop
of a telephone ring tone. The piece was featured in the
soundtrack of Nadia Tass' 1986 Australian film Malcolm,
Oliver Stone's 1988 release Talk Radio and in a long-running
advertising campaign for telecoms company One2One (now
T-Mobile). The tape loop was recorded when Jeffes was making
a phone call and discovered he was hearing a combination of
a ring tone and engaged signal at the same time. He recorded
it on an answering machine.

themselves 'the musicians of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra' i
would LOVE to go any how

loved it.

So awesome, so much joy and life in their music. Even in the
melancholy stuff.
