After being mired in the studio for nearly three years, Broadcast returned with their first proper full-length album, 'The Noise Made by People', a collection of more shimmering, weightless pop that is nostalgic for yesterday's visions of the future but remains on the cutting edge of contemporary music. Where their early singles (collected on 1997's 'Work and Non-Work') painted small, quaint portraits of their retro-futurism, The Noise Made by People delivers their sound in widescreen, filmic grandeur. Richly layered yet airy pieces like the album bookends, 'Long Was the Year' and 'Dead the Long Year,' seamlessly blend symphonic, electronic, and pop elements into smoky, evocative epics, while synth-based interludes such as 'Minus One' and 'The Tower of Our Tuning' present Broadcast's more detached, scientific side. Likewise, Trish Keenan's air-conditioned vocals sometime suggest a robotized Sandie Shaw or Cilla Black, but her humanity peeks out on 'Come on Let's Go' and 'Papercuts.' 'Echo's Answer' and 'Until Then' are two of the other highlights from the album, which despite all of its chilly unearthliness, is a noise made by (very talented) people. LP - Vinyl re-press of debut album from Broadcast, originally released on Warp in 2000.
