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.

The sublime is disappointingly elusive

We have lyrics for these tracks by The Caretaker:
a handful of stars I recall the story, That night of love and glory A night…
Emptiness Oh, love of mine With a song and a wine You're harsh…

The name for this song is perfect, feels like when you get the sudden feeling from a dream or early childhood, and your left with nothing but the memory of that feeling. Leaving you wondering if it will ever come back, or if it will get lost in the static.

I love this one. Prefect way to end the album. It feels like you went on this entire journey, felt all these feelings, and yet you ultimately learned nothing. It sounds like defeat, followed by a coming to terms with one's ignorance.

Coming off of Camaraderie at arms length, this track is wonderful. After a grand and farewell memory, here you come to realize those Sublime times have eluded you. It’s bittersweet, it’s a goodbye, but you’ll remember it. For now, at least.
