The Advisory Circle
The Advisory Circle is an alias of English electronic musician Cate Brooks. Her releases as The Advisory Circle are on the Ghost Box label.
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)|The Wire] magazine explored Brooks' fascination with public information films from the 1970s. They describe her sound as "Everything's fine, but there is something not quite right about it."
Cate Brooks also releases music, under her own name and a variety of alter-egos, including King of Woolworths. Her projects have similar musical influences, emotional atmospheres, and conceptual themes to The Advisory Circle material, through the Clay [Pipe Music] label, own label Café Kaput, and the band The Pattern Forms.
