I was listening to Broadcast last night lying in bed. It stuck me that there is something very ghostly about more recent Broadcast, and now Trish Keenan is a ghostly electronic presence.

i was wondering if people were generally aware of the mother is a milky way tour lp from 2009? cos it certainly passed me by.it'a a lovely bucolic, valerie ahwow-ish twin of the witch cults record. less sound collage and spookiness but with the same faust-y all runing together quality, quite folky and at times jazz-y instrumentation . a tour release seems such an un-broacast thing but this was a real unlooked for joy to listen to.

I got that on tour...they did that with a few releases. I have the 3" Microtonics CD. Mother is the Milky Way reminded me of His Name is Alive, stuff like King of Sweet.

Tracklist update from another forum:
03. Truck, "Earth Song"14. Carl Erdmann, "Devil Worship"
That Koji Ueno song, apart from the vocals, could be lifted straight from a Broadcast album. Been playing this mindbending mix a lot, it's a gorgeous bubble to float around in.

Was relistening to it the other day. And a very good description that is.

don't know if it was posted elsewhere, but a recent interview with James Cargill quoted him as saying he's working on another album with vocals Trish recorded before her death.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 04:44 (twelve years ago) link
I read about that somewhere, probably not the interview itself but a headline. Needless to say, looking forward to hear it.

sad anniversary. i think it's two records actually, a film score also.

I miss Broadcast. BTW she's playing an early 90s Roland MIDI controller, the same as I have. It has 49 keys, a pitch bender you can push up on to use as a mod wheel, and one slider, that's it. This IMO is the best MIDI controller out there.

This is great news, as is the info about the album being made using some of Trish's stockpiled vocals. Those kinds of records can be awkward, and it doesn't change how sad it is that Trish died so suddenly, but as her partner is the one putting the record together it seems like it could be a really cool and touching record. Really looking forward to hearing both in due time.

The soundtrack is nice enough but I just don't think I'll play it that much. Holding out hope that their final album will be more the kind of Broadcast I love. I might be stating the obvious here but I really want to hear Trish's vocals when I listen to them.

Think this is the last act I saw at Maxwell's, so yet another reason to get nostalgia/saudade thinking about them. The room was really filled with energy that night.

i guess some are technically out of print, but all can be had really easily. or are these vinyl-only reissues?

I am so happy about these vinyl reissues. I have been waiting for them for years. I am going to buy that bundle and it will be the best thing ever.

they're not going to sound any better on vinyl than they do on CD.

ha. i just find it weird that people get excited to pay $30 (or whatever) for an album they already own, or could own for much cheaper.

I will be excited to buy the albums I've never owned! I've only ever had Tender Buttons. And... if I buy that on vinyl as well... just look away. Don't look at me.
