Reedição europeia em CD pela Virgin (EEGCD 56 / 0777 7 87451 2 9), este álbum captura a Penguin Cafe Orchestra ao vivo, no auge da sua estética de minimalismo melódico e clássica moderna. É um registo luminoso, cheio daquela energia pastoral e excêntrica que Simon Jeffes transformou numa linguagem própria — música de câmara com alma popular, repetitiva sem ser mecânica, sempre calorosa.
Gravado em Roma, o disco mostra a PCO em modo expansivo: arranjos mais vivos, diálogos instrumentais cheios de humor, e uma sensação de comunidade que só existe nos concertos da banda. Uma edição essencial para quem segue a discografia e quer ouvir a PCO no seu habitat natural — o palco.
