One of the keystones of the Hauntological genre - a niche area of electronica, that embraces the idea of evoking a half-remembered past and a nostalgia for a future that has never arrived. As the above reviewer has pointed out, this music is redolent of children's school programs, late-night public information broadcasts and BBC-drama soundtracks of the 1970s and early-80s.
The Advisory Circle seem to have a happy knack of being able to conjure up both the hazy, late-summer feeling that hangs over that era, along with the accompanying sense of creeping dread that bubbled beneath the surface- mainly through the combination of a patrician government keen to point out the potentially fatal consequences of youthful stupidity, and the impending threat of nuclear war.
To be honest, I shouldn't really like this for both of the above reasons, but listening to this I couldn't help but feel both comforted and strangely unnerved by this record, which makes it a beguiling work in itself.
Unless you're already into the Hauntological school it's unlikely that you will have anything like this in your record collection, which is reason enough for you to buy it, but it is a brilliantly-realised piece that rises above its influences and intellectual pretensions to stand on its own merits.
