600 Broadcast Rarities and Associates

While I'm on the topic of Broadcast, I thought it would be a good effort to piece together a third compilation that follows "Work and Non-Work" which collected their early singles, and "The Future Crayon" covering their later singles and compilation appearances.   I took all the rarities and compilation appearances I had to build this set and included some live/bootleg recordings as well.

The second mix showcases many of the side projects and post-Broadcast musical output from the members Roj Stevens, James Cargill, Tim Felton, and Trish Keenan.  I didn't find much else from Steve Perkins (who is distinct from the other talented drummer Steven Perkins).  Children of Alice was named in honor of Trish's affection of Alice in Wonderland and is Roj, James and member of The Focus Group.  Prefuse 73 tracks all feature heavy samples of Trish's voice.  Seeland features Tim Felton.  Hintermass is a one off project on Ghost Box featuring Tim Felton and Jon Brooks.  Two Ton Sloth's EP is titled "Loves Broadcast" and from what I can tell the majority of their beats and music are build from Broadcast recordings.  The Deerhunter track is from "Fading Frontier" and features James, of note this album also features Tim Gane from Stereolab.  The OS OVNI track is a cover, as are Greanvine, divr, Expats, Roommate, Gravenhurst and Of Montreal's contributions here.  Odd Nosdam's album T R I S H is dedicated to her, this track features vocals sampled from Annlaug Lofthus.  The Pia Fraus track is remixed by Seeland, so it has that Broadcast feel to it for sure.  DJ Muggs?  Huh?  What's he doing on here.  Surprisingly he did sample "Winter Now" from Broadcast for this track and it works well as an intro for that album.  The Mamman Sani track is a mashup from how I understand it featuring "Echo's Answer."  Wendy Flower's track does feature contributed vocals from Trish, one of her few guest appearances - the other on the rather disappointing house track from Epod, "Who's Ready to Get High."

599 The Remix According to Broadcast

Ending the remix series with my all time favorite group, Broadcast.  Only seven remixes here, though they are all powerful.  The real star for me is the Gonjasufi track, which sounds exactly like what I want every Broadcast track to be - a modern musical equivalent of the movie "Valarie and Her Week of Wonders."  The rest of the tracks are slightly less abstract and have that quirky charm that I associate with most Broadcast output.  The Projects track is an earworm as I get it stuck in my head often.  The Sea and Cake track is a great version, from an EP that also featured Stereolab (shared yesterday).  

A fun way to wrap up this month long excursion that I really did intend to only be about 10 posts.  Sometimes I just get on a roll and can't help myself.   A couple more gems coming then I'll probably take a much needed break.

00:00  Gonjasufi - The Caliph's Tea Party (Broadcast & The Focus Group "DedNd" remix)

531 somehow magic happened

I have a system for sorting songs for my mixes and I usually have an overflow or leftover pile in a folder.  After my recent mixes, these were the songs in that folder.  I put them in WinAmp (yes its still my preferred audio player) and sorted on filename, I really liked the results.  No shuffling, no swapping things around.  This lined up perfectly in my opinion.  So here is that magic, a fun and diverse mix that works very well in my opinion.

501a Unsorted Finds mix 1

Now back to your irregularly scheduled programming.

I was recently combing through an old hard drive and found a rather large collection of music in a folder titled "unsorted."   This had to have been from 6 or more years ago, and for whatever reason I had never integrated these albums into my larger collection.  So I sorted through them, found some real gems, and put together these two mixes covering a very wide variety of musical styles.

411 Air travel is fear of death

I guess this all started from revisiting the Mojo compilation "Pigs Might Fly" from 2017, where the first two tracks are pulled from.  The rest is a psychedelic trip through many styles and sub-genres all around the hauntology and post-rock areas ending with a head trip from Achim Reichel which came from my frequent revisiting of the Nurse With Wound list.  Should be obvious after that month of electronic remixes I needed a palate cleanser.

396 The Remix According To Andy Votel

Mr. Finders Keepers himself.  Once a hip hop DJ, then a label owner responsible for reissues of the most bizarre and beautiful items.  Husband of Jane Weaver and frequent DJ on several podcasts.  He's got his own style which is right up my alley for unique music.  

This Broadcast track is from the Warp 10/3 double CD of remixes and is exactly what I was hoping for in a remix of their work.  Andy did several remixes for Badly Drawn Boy, and I chose my favorites here.  They're a band I really should give more attention to.  Then comes Pram, who I only recently started getting into and am really enjoying what I've come across.  Always loved Lamb and most of their remixes really elevate the music to something joyous.  Ian Brown is an artist where I loved his work with The Stone Roses, but never paid much attention to his solo work.   Mr Scruff has that nice hauntology hip hop vibe to this remix.  The Avalanches are known for sample heavy work, and Andy adds just enough to this one to make it accessible.  Then his wife Jane Weaver, of course he's going to do this one properly and make it epic.  I wasn't familiar with Boozoo Bajou before this mix, and find this kind of like a more chaotic Broadcast.  Another from Badly Drawn Boy and Jane Weaver.  Then The Other Two, named appropriately for those that exited New Order early on, with a bit of a twist on shoegaze with some hard hitting breaks.  Elbow was another new one for me, and a happy find.  Ending it with Kings of Convenience, whom I knew of but never paid much attention to; a bit of a soft ballad to end this mix.

328a Hauntology Pop

I love this genre, spooky/nostalgic sounding songs somewhere in-between dreamy pop and dark ambient coming with a ghostly presence.  I know Ghost Box has been the go to for this stuff for ages, so I tried to only incorporate a few tracks from their roster.  Broadcast, Jane Weaver and Pram make several appearances across these three mixes.  I really enjoyed making these mixes as I listen to this stuff quite frequently.  Love how NPR is using Vanishing Twin as some segue music.  Of course I love any excuse to work Mimir into a mix.

311b - Broadcast's Odd Songs

Here are the tracks that endeared Broadcast as a solid spot on my all time favorites.  Their quirky, vintage, library sounds that they brought into pop culture and a wide fanbase.  To further their street cred in my book, anything Andy Votel touches is gold as well.  His remix takes an amazing song to even further levels.  The Broadcast remix of Gonjasufi is mind-blowing as well, sounds like it was plucked straight from the soundtrack of "Valarie and Her Week of Wonders."

311a - Broadcast's Nice Songs

Why oh why did it take me this long to put out an overview of what is easily my favorite group of all times?  I cannot overstate how passionately I adore this music.  The Noise Made By People was my first exposure which was amazing as I had always associated WARP records with innovative IDM/electronica and dance oriented music.  Here was this group that had electronic elements, but with catchy pop hooks, creative lyrics, and a sound reminiscent of library music and 60's soundtracks.  Their start with singles on Stereolab's Duophonic label was the absolute best launching pad for their sound, and WARP gave them the right exposure as they build their label roster as well.  This is a band where I can truly say there is something for everyone, and I mean it.

There is also a great Broadcast overview mix at Nothing's Going to Happen's blog.  Definitely worth checking out, as it covers some different ground than my two mixes.

223 - Olio Rock

A mix of hauntology themed tracks, with some rock and alternative aspects.  I tried diving into some bands discography where I really loved one track but didn't listen to much more.  Like The Chills, I love Pink Frost so much that I never really listened to anything else.  Same with Scheer, their first album is solid and it took me forever to give their follow up a chance.  Bringing it up to an unexpected climax with Neurosis I suppose.  I like this mix for its strange twists and turns.

A Ghost Box favorite, I included several of their tracks as segues in stark contrast to this mix's title.  A lot of hauntology with a more electronic focus.  A lot of goodies to unpack here.  Children of Alice is the post-Broadcast group made in Trish Keenan's honor, and if its not already evident Broadcast is easily my favorite music ever.   Pink Anvil is a post-Ministry group, and I'm a big fan of anything Paul Barker works on.  Threw in a John Barry track, since I grew up watching Bond films and this track fits so well.  Odd Nosdam's roots in Mush and Anticon always kept me interested in where he goes.  The Chromatics track from Twin Peaks was certainly a standout.   A Small Good Thing the ambient western tinged side project from O Yuki Conjugate is one where I like them more than their bigger main group.  This is the only Pretty Lights track I like, and I've heard they went on to bigger and better things.  Mike and Rich is a lovely one off by some really big names in 90's (and beyond) techno.  Bonobo is another one I keep meaning to check out more from, but I always get sidetracked.  The Thought Gang is Lynch and Badalamenti, working so well together and actually collaborating on a music project here, just lovely.   And last to mention is early Human League when they were still quirky and experimental, and naming a song after THE BEST DOCTOR from the show's whole 50+ year run.   

Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Another of my favorite styles of music. Its like being in a Jess Franco film, that ends with the a visit to the hotel from the Shining, as most hauntology music is based around these concepts.  I love this genre, both old and new artists keeping that nostalgic and weird feeling alive.

Episode 6 - Good Quirky Fun

A good mix of fun tracks.  I really loved making this mix (summer 2015) with some oddball tracks that fit together so well.  This is a very good representation of my musical taste in my college years.  Another track from the excellent Macro Dub Infection comp, the Mo Wax Excursions series, a Matmos track and the Novy Svet track that sampled it (quite the unexpected combination), a track from This is Home Entertainment, another leftover from Fridge.  I take every opportunity to include Broadcast in a mix, and ending with some laptoptronica and plunderphonics.
