My brother said driving to The Caretaker's dangerous. He had one of the albums on driving back from work and started nodding off at the wheel.

You get a lot of shit these days, this is hypnotic etc, but this does seem like the real deal. Must've listened to it for 2 hours today and it felt like 10 mins cos the loops are so well done

There was a comment under a caretaker vid, something like:

'Come my dear. Tonight....we die'

that perfectly captured why I cant get into him

this is an incredible song it feels quite out of step with a lot of his other ones. the grid, that kind of clunkiness and those vocal stabs throw it off, it could almost be a lost stephen mallinder tune or severed heads from ten years earlier, sort of could be from many places at very different times but its just wicked is what it is

more of an album than a choon i suppose. i've got it on now, surprisingly good for working/playing lemmings/dissensusing to

probably already know but that that series of albums is interesting, supposedly emulating/tracing the deteriorating mind of someone with onset dementia. over the course of the albums, memories fade, get fuzzy, get confusing, get combative, and then reach a somewhat calming conclusion.

Everywhere at the End of Time has been planned as a six-stage release. The first three will come out as downloads and LPs between now and next year, when they will also be compiled in a CD set; the last three follow the same pattern from March 2018 to 2019. The premise is that the Caretaker, one of Kirby’s long-running aliases, has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. The music will chart the patient’s decline, ending in the alter ego’s “death.” Memory, incarnated as resurfacing bits of music from throughout the Caretaker’s oeuvre, will progressively smear and recombine.

no way to know if it's realistic, but an interesting experiment.
