Our Take

Broadcast Distant Call - Collected Demos 2000-2006 Review: In a time when music is more disposable than a plastic straw at a trendy vegan café, it's refreshing to stumble upon an album like Broadcast's "Distant Call - Collected Demos 2000-2006." This compilation of early demos from the electronic outfit showcases a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the band's creative process, flaws and all. From the moment you press play, you're immediately transported back to the early 2000s, a time when MySpace ruled the internet and trucker hats were the height of fashion. The lo-fi production quality may not be for everyone, but for those willing to embrace the grit and imperfections, there's a certain charm to be found in these rough-around-the-edges recordings. Tracks like "Echoes From A Tempford Wurlitzer" and "Flowers & Golden Hours" offer a glimpse into Broadcast's experimental leanings, with hypnotic melodies and haunting vocals weaving in and out of intricate electronic textures. It's a sonic journey that feels like a trippy acid trip through a psychedelic time machine. While the collection may not be for the casual listener seeking instant gratification, fans of Broadcast's distinctive sound will revel in the opportunity to delve deeper into the band's creative process. And for that, "Distant Call - Collected Demos 2000-2006" deserves a spot in any music aficionado's collection. So dust off your vintage Walkman, pop in the cassette, and let Broadcast transport you to a time when music was weird, wonderful, and oh so delightfully quirky. Cheers!
