Broadcasting from Home is the fourth album by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and was released in 1984 on . The opening song was named after PCO leader Simon Jeffes found a discarded harmonium in an alleyway in Japan. Virgin/Polydor wouldn't pay to restore this, and fans therefore had to wait until the CD's release to hear the undamaged track.

Jeffes includes brass here for the first time on a Penguin Café Orchestra recording. Recorded over three years, the band's third album is worth the painstaking studio overdubbing by its leader, who died of a brain tumor in 1997.

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra (PCO) was an avant-pop band led by English guitarist Simon Jeffes. Co-founded with cellist Helen Liebmann, the band toured extensively during the 1980s and 1990s. The orchestra's sound is not easily categorized, but has elements of exuberant folk music and a minimalist aesthetic occasionally reminiscent of composers such as Philip Glass.
