The Advisory Circle - Full Circle

[Rubin Farr]

TBA September 

[BobDobalina]

Love this project.  Every time I think I've tired out and moved on, they always seem to come along with something that drags me back in!

i really hope it's a return to the electro acoustic advisory circle because all the new stuff has been incredibly bland

Cate’s albums seem to me more autobiographical now

Boards of Canada would never put out anything this bad. This label has been done for a while now. Whatever happened to the unsettling, creepy vibe of early Ghostbox?

Remember this?

Yep, I like it too!

nothing ground breaking, but I like it. I like the inclusion of a few more beats in tracks, even if they are fairly straight forward. I'm mostly familiar with As the Crow Flies and From Out here, and don't remember many drum tracks on those.

^agree with the reviewer in that this one seems less "British" than some of the previous ones.

for anyone longing for the "weird" Advisory Circle: revisit Other Channels. that album nailed it.

Full Circle sounds like a pretty sensible continuation of what was going on in Ways of Seeing, and it's pretty dang good for what i feel like it set out to do, i.e. the cover art matches the sound - it's more cosmopolitan than the eerie-village vibes of the first few albums. it was a bit jarring to be denied a track 1 logotone and instead be hit with the most boc melody imaginable, lol (i actually went back and skimmed a bunch of their albums to see where *exactly* that little hook is from, and i'm pretty sure the closest bits are on campfire headphase... somewhere). the boc mood fades away after that track though and Brooks is back in their own world. good stuff imo.

Full Circle ...... it was a bit jarring to be denied a track 1 logotone

Other Channels is my favourite of theirs too and the track 1 logotone was my phone's ringtone for a longtime. Made all calls that more mysterious.

Finally got around to this, lovely. I've been lagging behind since Ghost Box dropped off Bandcamp, picked up a couple of Belbury Polys and one Pye Corner Audio, too.

I'm looking forward to Other Channels finally getting a vinyl reissue. It really is genuinely creepy. Properly "hauntological". Have never owned a physical copy.
