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
― the late great, Friday, 24 February 2017 05:04 (seven years ago) link
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 ...
― the late great, Friday, 24 February 2017 07:02 (seven years ago) link
I love Witch Cults but miss Trish
― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Friday, 24 February 2017 07:15 (seven years ago) link
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
― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Monday, 27 February 2017 22:45 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I live for this stuff. Is there a Rolling (whatever) Thread we could come up with?
― maura, Monday, 27 February 2017 22:56 (seven years ago) link
^ Not sure, but I'm 100% on board with that
― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Monday, 27 February 2017 22:56 (seven years ago) link
Slightly random thought but ... whatever happened to Keith from Wurlitzer Jukebox?
― djh, Tuesday, 4 April 2017 19:37 (seven years ago) link
Sounds like a proto Broadcast?

Great song. It seems it was sung by Michal Shapiro? Shame she only was on one Elephant's Memory album, because I love her voice. She's an artist now, but doesn't even mention the Midnight Cowboy success in her bio.

There's a whole series of videos on YouTube with broadcast times and the things that inspired them. Ditto Stereolab.

i love those
― dan selzer, Sunday, 23 July 2017 13:44 (seven years ago) link
this is really great and includes an especially amazing version of the song Lights Out which was originally only on the Work Non Work comp.

Damn, that guitar on Lights Out sounds so rusty! Shades of Roland S Howard.

Miss Trish. Broadcast came to Vancouver on halloween for two shows. On the Tender Buttons tour I was dressed up as an old man with spray painted grey hair, big onion cutting glasses and was wearing a sweater. With my then ex. Asked Trish for her autograph and against the club lights she asked what I was and said I looked "green". Classic band, thanks for sharing that great link piscesx

Oh man, thanks so much! This is great.

Peter Strickland directed this & Berberian, not Peter Greenaway
― Thomas NAGL (Neil S), Wednesday, 7 February 2018 11:06 (six years ago) link
Yeah Cat's Eyes are great aren't they, very Broadcast. Heard a Kermode radio show last week where he says that the director of Duke.. told Cat's Eyes he wanted the soundtrack to sound like Morricone's Belly Of The Black Tarantula score and John Barry's Octopussy score.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 13:37 (six years ago) link
yesss thank you
― maura, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 14:39 (six years ago) link
Thanks Neil, I seem to confuse them
And yeah Pisces, Rachel's tracks with cats eyes can heavily recall broadcast, just a shame how uneven their last album was
― kolakube (Ross), Wednesday, 7 February 2018 14:44 (six years ago) link
nae bother, sorry for pedantry, and I can see why you might get them confused!
