Stereolab immediately comes to mind when listening to Broadcast. Both groups had a knack for incorporating French and Brazilian 60s pop, Krautrock, and library music. Both groups answered the questions, "What if Astrud Gilberto was backed by Can and Delia Derbyshire?"... "What if Ennio Morricone and Faust had Gal Costa sit in for a few tracks?" Broadcast stands apart in their ability to sound more gentle, relying less on the Motorik beat often employed by Stereolab in exchange for more of a dream pop sound. "The Noise Made By People" was their debut full length album released by Warp Records in 2000, and offers an atmospheric portrait of pop music that is charming, delicate and ethereal.
