broadcast/focus group collaboration

Broadcast and The Focus Group

We're very excited to confirm that in October this year, Warp records will be releasing a mini album by Broadcast and The Focus Group - we're hoping to have copies available in the Ghost Box shop when its available.

Mind How You Go (Revised Edition)

The next release on Ghost Box will be a special extended Second Edition version of The Advisory Circle's Mind How You Go. Vinyl and download only, this version will feature new material by The Advisory Circle, and re-imaginings by Belbury Poly and special guests Seeland ( http://www.l-o-a-f.com/index.php?artist_id=92 )

How the hell did you restrain yourself in your OP kaini? Fucking grand news, 2009 keeps on getting better and better for new releases. Having the extended 'Mind How You Go' on vinyl too, even though I can't play it until who knows when. I reckon the collab is going to be amazing if the live stuff from a while back is anything to go by.

oh that sounds great. Should be good.

have you checked out the seeland stuff? it's great

and yeah, a good year for ghost box so far

I remember the last Seeland album cropping up on bleep (I think) recently. At the time I wasn't overly convinced by the samples, but I think I'll give them a proper go. In fact I need to with the new Advisory Circle coming.

And yeah, I know I'm a dick for judging an album on 30 second segments.

I love Broadcast

'the tears of an architect' is lovely

Been checking them kaini, and you're right. Colour Dream from Tomorrow Today grabbed me particularly. I'm buying these when the weekend's shenanigans are done so I can give the time they deserve. I remember the reason I checked the album out on bleep was I saw a hint of House's GB signature in the graphics (Seeland's design really looks like House's GB CD surface art).

This collab with Advisory Circle is going to work and work well, I'd say.

ftfy ;)

i was so fucking sure that was broadcast on scarlet ceremony. but jim (jim looks like vic reeves) said nope.

i had a listen to mind how you go tonight for the first time in ages

i'd forgotten how good it was. i can't wait til my vinyl gets all dusty and crackly lol

i'd love to see a vinyl focus group release, esp. hey let loose your love. considering its length it might even fit on a 10" *fap*

I consider myself fixed

No GB vinyl would ever be complete without a cloudy layer of fingerprints across the playing surface. The only time I would ever revoke the death sentence for this.

this is very, very good news

..except for my wallet

The Seeland album is great, very catchy with some subtle library/radiophonic vibes.

Saw that the Broadcast collab was coming out a couple weeks back, very exciting. Where is the album already guys!

NICE, both are good news...

will get them both !! been on a ghostbox period recently. MIND HOW YOU GO !

indeed... seelands' tears of an architect, is great

, and will that revised edition be just a remakes or a original album plus remakes?

do tell

From the wording, I'd guess that this is just remakes and new tracks. "Just"... fuck that's poor phrasing, this will be pure win.

whoa, this is bad ass news. broadcast are amazing, and focus group, in my opinion, are the crown jewel of ghostbox. i'm fucking psyched for this.

Did anyone see the Broadcast cover story in the current issue of The Wire? Very interesting and illuminating interview, they talked quite a lot about the new record and how it was written and produced, as well as speaking more generally about their influences. And Trish Keenan is still a vision of pure loveliness.

PS, hi WATMM, I still don't have the internet in my new house. I'm in a Yates's pub with free wi-fi.

Dammit Iain, get back online and get gassing about Nomeansno and Nick Cave and GB and MBV and... jorts. I dunno, whatever, just don't be a stranger.

this sounds very good!

Available to download now! Fuuuuck!!!

The video and song on the Warp homepage are excellent: http://warp.net

Pretty much exactly what one would expect out of a collab between the two. October is going to be a great month for music!

sounds really good...

I'll be pre-ordering the CD as soon as it's actually possible (there's no way of doing it yet as far as I can tell, despite Bleep claiming you can)

broadcast are so great

apparently this is available to download NOW on itunes

Have you given it another go? I just did it with no problems.

Just checked, it certainly is. Bleeped it myself though.
