If you never had the pleasure of seeing Broadcast on tour, particularly in their early years with keyboardist Roj Stevens and guitarist Tim Felton, then this is for you. Actually, this is for everyone. It’s a dark and saddening time for fans of the band since the recent and sudden passing of singer/multi-instrumentalist Trish Keenan. But I can’t think of a better way to celebrate her life than to spread the group’s music around to as many people as possible. Broadcast’s Black Session from Paris, France – May 4th, 2000 is a perfect representation of their trademark electronic art-pop, Trish’s amazing voice and the band’s ability to transform experimental recordings into beautiful live performances.
This set features the original lineup that toured in support of their spectacular debut album, The Noise Made By People. It also includes all of those quirky electronic segues and dissonance between tracks, along with stellar renditions of early singles, albums cuts and B-sides like “Message From Home“, “Where Youth and Laughter Go“, “Echo’s Answer” and more. words/ s. mcdonald photo/ laurent orseau

7 | Aquarium Drunkard » Broadcast :: Echo’s Answer November 8th, 2011 at 7:37 amDoes anyone know where to find a full copy of the Lamacq Session from 1997? I’ve only been able to tracks 5-8.
8 | Hunter P. November 23rd, 2011 at 8:14 amTo *find* tracks 5 – 8.
9 | Hunter P. November 23rd, 2011 at 8:15 amI was lucky enough to see them supporting Tender Buttons during a lucky tour stop in NC, and it was as amazing as I’d hoped. Losing Trish was a Kurt Cobain-level event for a certain group of people, and I count myself as one of them. Thanks for the wonderful upload and helping keep their legacy alive!
