Hailing from Birmingham, Broadcast is an experimental pop band formed in 1996. The band consists of Trish Keenan (vocals), Roj Stevens (keyboards), James Cargill (bass), Tim Felton (guitar) and Steve Perkins (drums). They gained recognition with their EP "Accidentals" and went on to release several more EPs and albums, including "The Noise Made By People". Their unique sound draws inspiration from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Ennio Morricone, and John Barry. Despite the tragic loss of lead singer Trish Keenan in 2011, Broadcast's music continues to captivate audiences.

Warp is a British electronic label founded by Steve Beckett, Rob Mitchell (RIP 2001), and Robert Gordon. It is one of the world's most respected and influential electronic/experimental dance labels. Originally based in Sheffield, UK, Warp later moved to London. They are known for their pioneering digital music sales site Bleep.com, which offered high-quality MP3s for sale along with exclusive tracks and rarities. Warp has several related labels including Warp Records Limited, Warp Music Publishing, Lex Records, Arcola, LuckyMe, and Night Slugs. The label's history is documented in the book "Warp" by Rob Young.

In terms of releases, there are some gaps and unreleased albums/singles within the cat#s. For example, WARP 13/WARP 99/WARP 113 have no releases; WARP 93 is an unreleased album by Priest; WARP 109 is an unreleased album by Squarepusher; WARP 118 is an unreleased album by Chris Morris. There are also some interesting facts about certain singles such as WAP 13 being supposedly unreleased but some copies of WARP LP 1 were pressed with this cat#. Additionally, WAP 85 was intended for Jimi Tenor's "[m=43418]" but ended up being released by Rough Trade Germany without a Warp cat#. 

It's worth noting that many Warp releases were licensed to

After being mired in the studio for nearly three years, Broadcast returned with their first proper full-length album, 'The Noise Made by People', a collection of more shimmering, weightless pop that is nostalgic for yesterday's visions of the future but remains on the cutting edge of contemporary music. Where their early singles (collected on 1997's 'Work and Non-Work') painted small, quaint portraits of their retro-futurism, The Noise Made by People delivers their sound in widescreen, filmic grandeur. Richly layered yet airy pieces like the album bookends, 'Long Was the Year' and 'Dead the Long Year,' seamlessly blend symphonic, electronic, and pop elements into smoky, evocative epics, while synth-based interludes such as 'Minus One' and 'The Tower of Our Tuning' present Broadcast's more detached, scientific side. Likewise, Trish Keenan's air-conditioned vocals sometime suggest a robotized Sandie Shaw or Cilla Black, but her humanity peeks out on 'Come on Let's Go' and 'Papercuts.' 'Echo's Answer' and 'Until Then' are two of the other highlights from the album, which despite all of its chilly unearthliness, is a noise made by (very talented) people.LP - Vinyl re-press of debut album from Broadcast, originally released on Warp in 2000. Includes download card and housed in Gatefold Sleeve.
