"Music critics started calling this sort of music "math rock" because they got tired of having to use terms like "angular," "abrasive," "aggressive," "rhythmically complex," "sharp-edged," "start-stop," and "spiky" all the time.

"Mix about two parts stadium-era Simple Minds with one part Big Chair-era Tears for Fears and you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect here. Singer and main songwriter Gustavo Cerati even sounds like the perfect cross between Jim Kerr and Roland Orzabal. It doesn't get much more '1986' than t..." [+] Reply

"The austere and elegant chamber music of Penguin Cafe Orchestra is steeped in Renaissance and Baroque traditions combining elements of folk and cabaret. Exotic arrangements consisting of delicate and languid laments create feelings of nostalgic longing. This is the ensembles best and most experim..." [+] Reply
