New Broadcast (RIP Trish Keenan Jan 2011)

Relevant here I think: Berberian Sound Studio

I miss Broadcast. BTW she's playing an early 90s Roland MIDI controller, the same as I have. It has 49 keys, a pitch bender you can push up on to use as a mod wheel, and one slider, that's it. This IMO is the best MIDI controller out there.

you can pre-order/preview it at Warp

This is great news, as is the info about the album being made using some of Trish's stockpiled vocals. Those kinds of records can be awkward, and it doesn't change how sad it is that Trish died so suddenly, but as her partner is the one putting the record together it seems like it could be a really cool and touching record. Really looking forward to hearing both in due time.

pretty amazing

The soundtrack is nice enough but I just don't think I'll play it that much. Holding out hope that their final album will be more the kind of Broadcast I love. I might be stating the obvious here but I really want to hear Trish's vocals when I listen to them.

I thought this was their final work?

In this interview James says there were two albums he's been working on. http://thequietus.com/articles/07478-broadcast-new-material

Ah! Excellent.

Think this is the last act I saw at Maxwell's, so yet another reason to get nostalgia/saudade thinking about them. The room was really filled with energy that night.

Not so later, Fact cacked up Euro date format. March 9.

like I said

Broadcast. How could I have been so wrong?

i guess some are technically out of print, but all can be had really easily. or are these vinyl-only reissues?

I am so happy about these vinyl reissues. I have been waiting for them for years. I am going to buy that bundle and it will be the best thing ever.

they're not going to sound any better on vinyl than they do on CD.

IDGI

What's a CD?

ha. i just find it weird that people get excited to pay $30 (or whatever) for an album they already own, or could own for much cheaper.

I will be excited to buy the albums I've never owned! I've only ever had Tender Buttons. And... if I buy that on vinyl as well... just look away. Don't look at me.

Records are nice

people have too much money

Not that easily got, some going for $100.

Odd Nosdam, whose name has been on my all-time worst list for over a decade running just getting that out there, released an ep in tribute to Trish Keenan today.

Through the Broadcast facebook page:

Debut album from Children Of Alice, a collaborative project consisting of Broadcast’s James Cargill, frequent collaborator Roj Stevens and Julian House (Ghost Box Records, The Focus Group)

^ So stoked!

Oh, that's awesome. I'm so glad that they're progressing in some form.

No new material here, apparently, but good to have it all in one place and easy to get hold of.

Was just coming here to post this. So stoked! Children of Alice name is a tribute to Trish, apparently: http://www.factmag.com/2017/01/12/broadcasts-james-cargill-announces-debut-album-warp-children-alice/

super excited for this one - i haven't heard the cassette. is it similar to broadcast? or like recent ghost box stuff? or more ambient?

i was not that into the berberian sound studio. should i give it another try? what with its theme of fragmentation and disintegration, "investigate witch cults..." seemed like a more fitting end to the broadcast project

So, this is out...incredibly stoked to hear this record!

not crazy about this one ... yet

he sure does love the backward tape effect, though

my main complaint is that the tracks sounded the same but i only listened to this once, and in the car, which was probably not the best place to listen

Not crazy about it either initially. Clearly another evolution from the sound they were cultivating on Witch Cults and Mother Is The Milky Way. Loving tribute to Trish' interest in Alice In Wonderland and their hammer horror plunderphonics. Feels like a Focus Group record with the slapdash found sounds and absence of Trish.

witch cults was my favorite album of theirs so i don't mind the sound in theory but ...

I love Witch Cults but miss Trish

nah this is great, though probably best approached as a follow through from the last focus group lp than witch cults. Having said that, the last time i saw broadcast on the south bank, they sounded pretty much this way.

Thought I'd posted this record from last year here. Really great stuff with "strange sounds" by Phil Jenkins.

^ Awesome record. Best merger of pram/stereolab/broadcast/USA/white noise I've heard

Yeah I live for this stuff. Is there a Rolling (whatever) Thread we could come up with?

^ Not sure, but I'm 100% on board with that

Slightly random thought but ... whatever happened to Keith from Wurlitzer Jukebox?
