The Advisory Circle - Experiment!


The Advisory Circle is an alias of electronic musician Jon Brooks (along with King of Woolworths). His releases as The Advisory Circle are on the Ghost Box Music label.

Contents

The Advisory Circle's first release was Mind How You Go, issued as a 3" CD in 2005.

An extensive feature in The Wire magazine explored Brooks' fascination with public information films from the 1970s. He describes his sound as "Everything's fine, but there is something not quite right about it."
