I'd bet on the noise as the winner but yeah between those two.

I love how popular they are on here. They won two of the best songs from the 2000s polls in the last month or so.

Haha Sound is my favourite. Hard to beat "Man is Not a Bird".

"Noise Made by People" was my first back in 2000, but I still think they improved on their sound on each subsequent release. "Unchanging Window" from NMBP vs. the EP2/Future Crayon re-imagines that song in a far less sterile way and with more of that muted bass groove. Saying that, it's hard to beat songs like "Come on Let's Go".

The Book Lovers is still the one for me. I just realised it's almost exactly 20 years since I first heard it on the John Peel show. Incredible song.

Only recently discovered they'd performed that on MTV in 97. Nice to see Trish with guitar.

^^ I still have that Alternative Nation episode (or at least one where they repeated this one) on Video 2000 somewhere.
(OT: MTV should upload all those AN episodes with Toby Amies somewhere, some really great live sessions)

Co-sign the Broadcast love. This track by Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve featuring Hannah Peel comes close to scratching that itch. With a healthy pinch of Stereolab too.

Gwenno is a bit of a welsh Broadcast

Black Cat won Moka's 2005 songs poll too.

that Gwenno album is excellent and I bet if she hadn't been one of the Pipettes it would have been a favourite round here

peluché will prob be up alleys here too

Cat's Eyes as well, who I've mentioned but are completely ignored everywhere it seems. They even did the soundtrack to Duke of Burgundy (same director as Berberian Sound Studio).

Witch Cults might still be my favorite album released this century. Definitely way way up there, at least.

Duke of Burgundy seemed practically designed around an imaginary Broadcast score it couldn't have.

― boxedjoy,
Rose has made a couple of great albums too.
