An empty bliss beyond this World

hakr0cat Apart from Everywhere At The End Of Time, this is easily my favorite Caretaker album. It creates such a haunting atmosphere and it captures a lot of emotions and sounds. Thanks Leyland. Favorite track: All you are going to want to do is get back there.

spearo This album is oddly theraputic in a way. The way that it sounds so empty yet so warm and calming makes for a unique listen from start to finish. It sounds so surreal yet so familiar at the same time, much like Everywhere at The End of Time. Favorite track: All you are going to want to do is get back there.

Aresez Most of the songs represent bliss, just a beautiful work of art Favorite track: Libet's delay.

about

The Caretaker conjures a quieter, more introspective spirit, lost in his own mind amidst a low-lit labyrinth of ever-decaying and antediluvian shellac phrases. Sourced from a mysterious collection of 78s, these vague snippets of archaic sonics reflect the ability of Alzheimers patients to recall the songs of their past, and with them recollections of places, people, moods and sensations.

Many thanks Mr K, v generous. I paid a couple of quid- didn't think I'd be counting the pounds/ pennies at my age?! Times remain challenging for all. Your music has made such a hugely positive change in my life and helps greatly when the clouds descend. I'm sure I'm not alone. I should say I also enjoy your music in the good times. Thanks again and keep on trucking mate. Dan Diable

This album is my comfort object, like something you had as a kid and kept it by your side into adulthood as you go through various confusing stages of life. I've never had such an object, but I discovered this album in my teenage. It has always been there when I needed it. u3s6e9r
