BROADCAST
WORK AND NON-WORK (1997)
320 KBPS
Broadcast is an enigma, if Stereolab and Portishead head a child it might grow up to surpass them both and be called Broadcast. Rare in its ability to improve with every listening. At first listen, they may well remind you of Mono or Hooverphonic, but with a decidedly more disturbing edge. Listening to the beauty of this is like finding yourself in a dream, knowing it's a dream, not caring, and just laughing to see what madness it will carry you into. It's eccentric and haunting, with a hint of menace amidst the majesty. The interludes discourage active listening, but the best tracks here, The Book Lovers, According To No Plan, and The World Backwards, you will never forget.
