Theoretically pure anterograde amnesia

by The Caretaker

supported by

Mr. Jeff McJefferson, Esq. This might be my absolute favourite Caretaker album. It's like the Ramones of Caretaker albums: nice and simple. Favorite track: Memory Fifteen.

jkuering Absolute journey. This one is quickly becoming one of my favorite Caretaker albums of all time. It's an endless chasm of warped noise, drones, and wailing instruments. It pulls off the intended effect well, and keeps the entire album foggy and unrecognizable. Favorite track: Memory Eleven.

Molis The most confusing album of all, although the pieces are numbered, you can still get lost in these memories... Favorite track: Memory Eleven.

Here The Caretaker provides you with seventy-two memories to lose yourself in.

It is the aural sound of 'Theoretically pure anterograde amnesia'
a condition where it's impossible to remember new events.

A release with audio designed to be forgotten with few reference points appearing from a dense audio fog of an amnesiac condition.

We drink to forget the coming storm

Noticed the album was available for free but decided to pay for it nevertheless, I mean it and you're worth it. Came for a quick listen, stayed for a melancholic atmosphere worthy of telling a dozen tales, or playing on shuffle. Can't wait for what the future holds, cheers. axel

Sadly, the future is no longer what it was
by Leyland Kirby

supported by 150 fans who also own “Theoretically pure anterograde amnesia”

It has something that simply cannot be described in words. I'm sitting here writing this while I listen to Leyland Kirby's creation. An album about the loss of what kept in you that piece of happiness that kept you in balance, but now it is gone, the balance is broken. You are alone in this world... Molis
