Broadcast - The Noise Made By People

A high-fidelity foundation of cinematic electronics and "celestial" pop.

Available once again via Warp Records, The Noise Made By People is the landmark debut studio album that first fully unveiled the Broadcast musical cosmos. Originally released in 2000, the record is a "hand-crafted" masterclass in high-contrast sound design, blending 1960s library music influences with a "promethean" electronic creative thrust. It remains a mandatory cornerstone for the "hauntological" movement, mapping out a sonic universe where high-fidelity studio precision meets the "strange and mesmerizing" atmosphere of a lost film score.

Led by the sophisticated oratory and "offworld" vocal delivery of the late Trish Keenan, the album balances rhythmic, mechanical pulses with "celestial" melodies. From the soaring, orchestral depth of "Come On Let's Go" to the fragile, "ethereal chaos" of "Echo's Answer," the record explores the boundaries of the sonic universe with unparalleled grace. For those seeking the "pure" origins of the band’s legendary status, this LP is an essential acquisition—a timeless summary of a band discovering their voice within a landscape of vintage synthesis and sophisticated poetics.
