The
Caretaker collects stolen memories and feelings from
within the Haunted Ballroom of the imagination. Acting
as a conduit between spirits and the human world his
music is heroic, tragic, dark and light all at the same
time. Loved and respected by many The Caretaker's work
has found much critical acclaim. Who is The Caretaker
? Why you are The Caretaker, you've always been The
Caretaker.
The
Caretaker's first album was "selected
memories from the haunted ballroom" which was
then followed three years later by "a
stairway to the stars" which was championed
by many including the late John Peel who regularly played
it on his BBC Radio 1 show. "We'll
all go riding on a rainbow" was released in
a low-key fashion in 2004 and this release took a darker
turn than previous releases. Then from out of nowhere
in 2005 "theoretically
pure anterograde amnesia" a seventy-two track
free MP3 release appeared online and this was subsequently
downloaded inexcess of 30,000 times within seven months.
This time the audio was more desolate still with only
a few glimpses of light. Due to interest this audio
was then pressed into a physical six compact disc edition
which was pre-sold from this website. Housed in a DVD sized box it featured
extensive sleeve notes from K-Punk. "Deleted scenes/forgotten dreams" was released on WeMe in early 2007 on limited edition double vinyl. |
