The first release played and extended this theme of altering 1920s and 1930s ballroom music creating an eerie and haunted soundworld. Subsequently the sound has become darker and often more abstract over time, moving away from the initial idea of a haunted ballroom into territories involving the mind and its abilities to recall memories.
The Caretaker's last few projects are heavily inspired by the phenomenon of amnesia, Alzheimer's, and dementia, the brain's adversities to recall situations from the distant and immediate past. This work is best recalled in the monumental "Theoretically pure anterograde amnesia" release, a release which accurately echoes and recreates aurally the disease itself which is no mean achievement.
The Caretaker is building an ever-expanding following for his audio memories. Fans of the darker isolationist ambient work of modern composers such as William Basinski, Nurse With Wound, Aphex Twin, Fennesz and Brian Eno would find elements to admire and enjoy and also parallels to The Caretaker's output. It can be a harsh world at times but ultimately exposure is always rewarding. Immerse yourself in the darkness and give into the spirits and tales recalled and retold in his unique way.

My own lyrics for the song:
Oh dear
What do you know about love?
Holding you close dear, you tell me so sweet
A prance with my true love is nothing discreet
Tell me
What do you know about love
I hold you close dear at arms length
Lovingly with all my strength
And yet you still draw far from me
Oh please
What do you know about love?

I don't find it creepy, just melancholy. Sympathetic, even.
@viagrabuffalo5141
It doesn’t scare me, but when I am alone in bed at night it keeps me up for some reason
@jackpijjin4088
I just played this toward the woods at full volume through a 1955 megaphone. It echoed for a full 3 seconds after the song stopped.
I hope I gave someone out there a spook.
