The Advisory Circle is one of the core acts of the Ghost Box collective. Originally inspired by library music and the sound-world of British public information films, Jon Brooks has developed this aesthetic through four albums over a period of nine years. During that time he's also released a wealth of material under his own name (and as Georges Vert) on several other labels. His mixing and mastering skills are much sought after and he is responsible for some of the more challenging sonic restoration work for the re-issue label, Trunk Records. On this new album for Ghost Box Records, The Advisory Circle (aka Jon Brooks) explores darker territory than on 2012's more pastoral As The Crow Flies. This time Brooks hints at a Wyndham-esque science fiction story, where bucolic English scenery is being manipulated and maybe even artificially generated by bizarre multi-dimensional computer technology. The CD and LP come lavishly packaged with artwork by Julian House based on the original concepts for the music. The 180gm LP comes with a free download code, and the CD versions include three bonus tracks.
