The Advisory Circle - Mind How You Go (re-issue) - 10"

Listen

The latest in a complete series of Ghost Box re-issues, Mind How You Go is an EP of haunting electronica inspired by the misremembered sounds and emotions of TV public information films. It’s spooky, witty and catchy.

The 2005 debut EP for Cate Brook’s The Advisory Circle

originally released on 3” CD, and now issued on vinyl for the first time.

“These tracks offer an uncanny blend of library music, institutional electronica, BBC Open University audiologophonics and daft, po-faced clips sampled and distorted from daytime science programmes... its earnest electronics and broadwinged optimism get surprisingly deep under the skin.”

Rob Young, The Wire
