Well I have not yet acquired the new Broadcast album, but its previous 
"Work and Non Work" - a collection of singles - was a thing of great beauty 
and subtlety.  But anyone expecting Aphex Twin or Autechre or Disjecta 
should turn back immediately, as Broadcast - at least as heard on its early 
releases - blends Magazine and Portishead and appears to prefer moody 
psychedelic pop to analog or digital pops.  I like both - should I still be 
avoiding the new full-length?
