Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Back in 1997, Warp Records released a quirky mini-album of rare material from its newest signings, a little known experimental pop band from Birmingham called Broadcast. Eyebrows were raised. Why had Warp--a hard-edged techno label famed for its avant-garde output from electronic pioneers like Aphex Twin signed this quirky, retro- obsessed West-Midlands five-piece? The reason is simple: Broadcast are a very talented band. This much is proved by their brilliant debut, The Noise Made By People. The album's skewed electronic pop and retro-futurism most resembles the analogue styling of Stereolab and original Krautrock musicians such as Can and Neu! Yet Broadcast's sound is wonderfully unique; an enchanting mixture of analogue synth sounds and west coast psychedelia fused with nineties electronica and indie-pop sensibilities. With the addition of haunting and occasionally chilling vocals from singer Trish Keenan, the effect is at times mesmerising. The Noise Made By People is an eerie, uplifting and enchanting debut album from one of Britain's best-kept secrets. --Matt Anniss
CD Description
Like all the best groups, Broadcast exists in a bubble, oblivious to passing trends. Mixing dusty old musical instruments with the latest technology, they sound as if they're gliding across the galaxy in a second-hand spaceship. Lazy comparisons to Stereolab (on who's Duophonic label Broadcast released two 1997 singles) are only relevant in terms of both groups' almost scientific approach to music making. It's obvious that the long gestation period of this debut album paid off. THE NOISE MADE BY PEOPLE is at once strange and beautiful. Trish Keenan's clear voice slices through the psychedelicwaltzes and eerie soundscapes with a strident simplicity. The jaunty "Come On Let's Go" is a distant relative of PetulaClark's "Downtown," and an obvious pop highlight of the album. But it's in the dark corners where some of the most innovative and melodic moments occur. "Echo's Answer" is hauntingly sparse and unexpected. Ennio Morricone is an obvious inspiration, and this partly explains Broadcast's knack for imaginative arrangements. THE NOISE MADE BY PEOPLE is destined to become a cult classic. Don't miss out.
