#The caretaker everywhere at the end of time series

Here, the patient realizes that something is wrong, but has a hard time accepting it.

The second stage features slightly longer and more drawn-out pieces, with bleaker titles and more audible layers of surface noise. The first stage is easily the most pleasant, with rosy titles like 'Into Each Others Eyes' and 'The Loves of My Entire Life' ornamenting soft, cheerful melodies, although the ghostly aura and other, more ominous titles like 'We Don't Have Many Days' serve as an acknowledgment of one's mortality. These three volumes are closest in spirit to Empty Bliss, taking melodic snatches of tunes by performers from the 1930s like Al Bowlly and joyfully repeating them, caked in a layer of vinyl crackle. Everywhere at the End of Time was released in six parts between 20, with the first three compiled as a limited triple-CD set in 2017. He wasn't initially planning on recording another Caretaker album, but due to the widespread acclaim for Empty Bliss, he decided to take the project to its logical conclusion, interpretating the stages of dementia. Post-Awareness Stage 6 Is without description.Īll stages featuring cover art imagined and painted by Ivan Seal.Īll stages mastered by Lupo at Calyx in Berlin.The Caretaker's An Empty Bliss Beyond This World was an unexpected success, earning acclaim as a defining work of hauntology and gaining Leyland James Kirby a wider audience. Time is often spent only in the moment leading to isolation. The unfamiliar may sound and feel familiar. More extreme entanglements, repetition and rupture can give way toĬalmer moments. Post-Awareness Stage 5 confusions and horror. It's the beginning of an eventual process where all memories begin to become more fluid through entanglements, repetition and rupture. Post-Awareness Stage 4 is where serenity and the ability to recall singular memories gives way to confusions and horror. These are the last embers of awareness before we enter the post awareness stages. As we progress some singular memories become more disturbed, isolated, broken and distant. Finest moments have been remembered, the musical flow in places is more confused and tangled. Here we are presented with some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists form and fade away. The overall personal mood is generally lower than the first stage and at a point before confusion starts setting in. More effort is made to remember so memories can be more long form with a little more deterioration in quality. The second stage is the self realisation and awareness that something is wrong with a refusal to accept that. This stage is most like a beautiful daydream. Here we experience the first signs of memory loss.
