Extended Play Two is an EP by English band Broadcast. It was released on 19 September 2000 by Warp in the UK and Tommy Boy Records in the US. The EP was recorded by the group after the release of their debut album, The Noise Made by People. The EP featured non-album songs as well as a re-recorded version of "Unchanging Window" with the instrumental coda "Chord Simple" interwoven with the end of the song. It also included the track "Drums on Fire", previously issued only as a promo 12".

The sleeve was designed by Julian House.

Legacy

In 2015, Fact's Mikey IQ Jones called Play Two "arguably the defining document of Broadcast's five-person lineup, and a fitting closure to their first era." He praised the musical growth showcased on their songs, writing that they "give these performances their all, and that increased power would carry over into the sessions for their next album."[2]

In 2024, Paste named it the 12th greatest EP of all time.[3] In a similar list, NME placed it #41 out of 50 "must-have" EPs.[4]
