Black 10"

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 Circleoriginally 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

The Advisory Circle is the work of Cate Brooks; melodic and often melancholic electronic music inspired in part by library music of the 70s and 80s. Brooks is a long time member of the Ghost Box roster and an extraordinarily prolific artist. She has released six albums and three singles as The Advisory Circle. She also records as The Pattern Forms with Ed Macfarlane and Edd Gibson of Friendly Fires. She worked with vocalist Tim Felton as Hintermass, and with Ghost Box founder Jim Jupp she is half of The Belbury Circle. Under her own name and several pseudonyms, she has released albums on Clay Pipe Music and her own Café Kaput label.

Before joining the Ghost Box family in 2005, Brooks recorded for Lo Records as King of Woolworths. As a producer and mastering engineer, Brooks has been a contributing presence on many Ghost Box releases.
