Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Anyone listen to this magnificant orchestra? I just recently discovered this band and I am totally blown away by them. Here is a short description of the orchestra, as said by the leader of the orchestra:

I started writing the kind of music played in the cafe. What sort of music is it? Ideally I suppose it's the sort of music you want to hear, music that will lift your spirit. It's the sort of music played by imagined wild, free, mountain people creating sounds of a subtle dreamlike quality. It is cafe music, but cafe in the sense of a place where people's spirits communicate and mingle, a place where music is played that often touches the heart of the listener.
