THE FUTURE CRAYON is a compilation of B-sides and rarities from Birmingham duo Broadcast. The disc includes both instrumental tracks and songs featuring Trish Keenan's gorgeous, liquid vocals, which perfectly reference a dream version of 1960s pop.
Keenan's bandmate James Cargill provides plenty of room for the lush vocal tracks, especially on numbers like "Where Youth And Laughter Go" and "Distant Call." And while the instrumental numbers are unique and well executed, incorporating big beats and noirish movie soundtrack elements as well as pop and dance sounds, the standout tracks are without a doubt those that feature Keenan. "Illumination" finds her in a lilting sing-song over a steadily pulsing bass line. On "Small Song IV," her voice is intriguingly tiny behind stuttering synth noise. And on "Poem Of Dead Song" she sings slow and icy over a reverb-drenched vamp. This collection is a must-have for Broadcast fans, and for novices it's a good introduction to the band's music.Q (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here remains plenty of enjoyment in these spacey oddities."
Uncut (p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE FUTURE CRAYON reveals a side to Broadcast rarely heard: that of a band who are relaxed....They've fashioned their own endlessly fascinating world." Broadcast Future Crayon Songs | 1. | Illumination |

This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.

A fun, 70-minute collection of some of BiL's best moments over its career, Alloy works as both something for the hardcore Leadhead (as the band's fans are known) and the neophyte. The chronological ordering of the collection demonstrates how BiL became more involved and just plain great over time, as new members like Anders and Kessler joined to take the overall abilities of the band even higher. At least one track from each of the five previous albums or collections surfaces on Alloy, sometimes in an alternate mix or take, but plenty more rarities, live tracks, and other obscurities help show the group's full range. Early member Dauphin gets a vocal spotlight via a hitherto unreleased version of the folk standard "The Dreadnaught" -- she's in fine voice, though admittedly the arrangement by the band is more straightforward than might be expected. The shift from Menton's slightly cleaner lead vocals to Stemple's touch more emotive and rougher singing is nicely illustrated by a version of "All the Little Horses" recorded for Antler Dance but never released. Kessler's fiddle is quite fine as well, while his notoriously rude contribution to the BiL archives, the goofy heavy-metal pisstake "Fuck the Circus," appears here on CD for the first time. The various live and radio sessions really showcase the performing abilities of the group and then some, mostly focusing on the later Stemple/Kessler/Miller/Anders lineup. Two fine instrumentals from a 1994 radio visit, Miller's original ...

The Swedish issue comes with remastered sound and three bonus cuts.
In contrast to the crisp, clean sound of World, Fried often sounds rougher, a bit more shut in. Combine that with Cope's generally successful attempts to project an image of barely stable sanity, helped in large part by the notorious wearing-nothing-but-a-turtle-shell cover photos, and the idea of Fried as his album of crazed musical collapse understandably is a strong one. However, World producer Steve Lovell once again handles things here, ...
