new compilation in about a month,
Future Crayon: 1 Illumination (EP2) 2 Still Feels Like Tears (P) 3 Small Song IV (P) 4 Where Youth and Laughter Go (EP) 5 One Hour Empire (P) 6 Distant Call (?) 7 Poem of a Dead Song (EP2) 8 Hammer Without a Master (?) 9 Locusts (COLG) 10 Chord Simple (COLG) 11 Dave's Dream (EP) 12 DDL (?) 13 Test Area (EA) 14 Test Area (?) 15 Unchanging Window / Chord Simple (EP2) 16 A Man For Atlantis (EP2) 17 Minus Two (P) 18 Violent Playground 19 Belly Dance (EP)
quick look at back catalogue suggests it's the eps minus the lp tracks:(COLG = Come on Let's Go, missing title track)(EP = Extended Play EP, missing Papercuts)(EP2 = Extended Play 2 EP, missing Drums On Fire)(P = Pendulum, missing title track)
don't know where the ? tracks are from. think 14 may be a typo. (http://angryape.com/news/2006/05/broadcast-the-future-crayon has only 18 tracks)

There's a new song here: http://www.warprecords.com/?news=1359
Haven't heard it myself so I've no idea what sort of line-up/sound they're in these days.

OMG YAY.
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 16 November 2007 11:29 (sixteen years ago) link
The track is not taken from any forthcoming Broadcast release
Oh. :(
It's not bad, sounds like something off of Microphonics.

Someone tell Spotify they've got two different Broadcasts occupying one page. Our Broadcast, and some daft power-pop group.

Ah, I missed this thread last time it was bumped, was just going to post details of that show in October. Tickets should be available here http://www.wegottickets.com/f/977 but they're 'currently not available'. I'm going to selfishly hope it's not happening because I'm out of the country.
Is that the EP sleeve then? It's very similar to the last one, in a way that their previous stuff hasn't been.

"Ghost Box 12, The Transactional Dharma of Roj, by Roj will be available on CD and download from our shop on 28th September or you can pre-order it right now.
Roj, a former member of Broadcast, executes psychedelic tone paintings with a battery of exotic percussion, analogue electronics, and tape. Beautiful booklet design by Julian House and text by Ken Hollings, journalist, broadcaster and author of Welcome to Mars . You can hear some clips here.
Broadcast and The Focus Group
We're very excited to confirm that in October this year, Warp records will be releasing a mini album by Broadcast and The Focus Group - we're hoping to have copies available in the Ghost Box shop when its available."
― rentboy, Thursday, 17 September 2009 14:17 (fourteen years ago) link
very excited about both of the above, btw

That Vortex gig sold out now, by the looks of things. After I changed my entire life so I wouldn't be away that week.
According to the Wire interview the Ep is something like 30mins long and has 15 songs or something, although I think only 5 or so have singing (these numbers are completely off the top of my head tbh). Kind of like the Pendulum single with extra Microtonics I guess.

this is gonna be a noise thing huh
― unban dictionary (blueski), Thursday, 17 September 2009 14:34 (fourteen years ago) link
from the look of them (in wire) it's going to be hippy dippy / more folky (because people always sound how they dress)

From that (great) video it seems that The Focus Group has injected a new kind of strangeness into the Broadcast sound.There's a short post by Simon Reynolds about this year's crop of Ghost Box recordings at his blog: http://blissout.blogspot.com/
― Dan S, Saturday, 26 September 2009 06:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah. A lot of fantastic stuff on that label.
― Turangalila, Saturday, 26 September 2009 06:08 (fourteen years ago) link
I've heard the first ten (except the Mt Vernon Arts Lab cd) and my favorites at the moment are The Advisory Circle's "Other Channels" (truly eerie, great structure) and The Focus Groups "Let Loose Your Love"
― Dan S, Saturday, 26 September 2009 06:35 (fourteen years ago) link
The Advisory Circle's "Other Channels" is fantastic. I wish this new Broadcast EP was on the Ghost Box label, so I'd get it on eMusic. Alas, it's on Warp (technically on eMusic, but new titles only occassionally show up there).
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 26 September 2009 07:22 (fourteen years ago) link
I've been ordering mine directly from Ghost Box (great design!), but it usually takes a few weeks for them to reach the west coast.
