Ghost Box

There's a whole Large Plants album now, I notice! I thought "La isla bonita" was a little bit brilliant that one time but... I guess we'll see.

Meanwhile, I think I at least vaguely approve of this Pneumatic Tubes thingy after one listen.

Kinda perplexed by what I've heard of Large Plants, it sounded like garden-variety psychedelic revivalism, there are dozens of similar bands knocking around.

^ 'Perplexing' captures it. Perhaps the first Ghost Box release where I'll concede that there's a 0.00% chance I'd be listening to a full LP of this without the GB stamp of approval. (Not that I'm even disliking it especially, and I did get ridiculous mileage out of the Madonna thing as a novelty item.)

New album from The Advisory Circle just landed. I haven't listened to more than a couple of tracks but it's lovely so far! Out on double 10" and CD.

I believe it's her first album release as Cate Brooks. Spotify still has her deadname :(

Even more exciting news from the label:

Next month Ghost Box embarks on a series of complete album re-issues on vinyl and CD. Starting with GBX001 Farmer’s Angle, the EP by Belbury Poly that launched the label back in January 2005. It'll be followed in November by The Focus Group's Sketches & Spells and The Willows by Belbury Poly in December, with another re-issue every other month thereafter. Some of the early releases have never been revisited since their print to order CD-R originals, so it'll be a chance to fill the gaps in your Ghost Box collection.

I hope The Advisory Circle's Mind How You Go gets a reissue soon. Such a moody little EP, but prices on Discogs have been ridiculous.

oh wow, have these ever been released on vinyl before? I'd love to own a vinyl copy of The Willows in particular.

I'm pretty sure the earliest releases were only CD or CD-R on demand so yep, first time on wax I believe!

Any chance they'll do that Broadcast & The Focus Group 7"?

would love a copy of sketches and spells in any format <3 awesome

Julian House's sleeve designs are so great that I'd want to get the reissues on vinyl, but I'm running out of space so will probably get the CDs :(

Just ordered four Ghost Box CDs including the new Advisory Circle, which is just so good. Lots of great 'BBC Radiophonic Workshop performs Kraftwerk' moments.

The new Belbury Poly is a nice change of pace, a full band affair plus poems by Justin Hopper, who was so great on the Chanctonbury Rings album. Ghost Box has really been on fire the last couple years.
