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 psychedelic waltzes and eerie soundscapes with a strident simplicity.
The jaunty "Come On Let's Go" is a distant relative of Petula Clark'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.
