Broadcasting From Home is the third studio album by Penguin Cafe Orchestra, released in 1984. The opening track is named after a harmonium that leader Simon Jeffes discovered discarded in an alleyway in Japan. Largely recorded at home, the album offers a charming and eclectic blend of folk, classical, and world music influences. Featuring delicate melodies and quirky instrumental arrangements, it creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that highlights the group’s distinctive fusion of minimalism and global sounds.
