The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time

[Soloman Tump]

Oh man,this is going to get emotional

[vvmtest]

Thanks everybody for the kind words and support for these releases.

 

I'd like to add a few notes here about the series for you. The first three stages are merely a set up for the final three stages.

The third stage release which is coming can be seen memory wise as being slightly post 'an empty bliss' with some self awareness still that there's a problem.

At the moment everything is still quite coherent and this continues through this stage with a lot of work previously heard but in altered forms.

The first three stages will also work if shuffled randomly.

 

Work is advanced now on Stage 4 with possible directions opening now for Stage 5. I can say that Stage 3 doesn't really hint at where Stage 4 will begin or go.

The final three stages are all post awareness stages so anything can and will happen, so they do stand separately from the first series of works.

The purpose of this series was always to get to work on these latter stages which if created out of the overall context would have made no sense at all.

 

I'm about to receive the Weirdcore video for Stage 2 which was delayed due to his Aphex Twin touring commitments so this will be uploaded in due course.

 

There is a 3CD set coming in October with the first three stages which features all new artwork from my comprade Ivan Seal.

The audio on this set is exactly the same as the vinyl and on the downloads.

 

There will be a one off performance too in London in December at The Barbican where Weirdcore will do visuals and I'll be there with Ivan and whisky so maybe see some of you there.

Showed this the series to Consultant Geriatrician I know who specialises in Dementia, he loved the premise and the music so far.

[Friendly Foil]

Hella getting that 3CD set.

[Bechuga]

The Caretaker is my favourite artist whose music I can barely remember after hearing it. Keep it up!

[tec]

Great news, can't wait.

[patternoverlap]

[YangYing]

so guys this is already releasing next week!

[Ifeelspace]

what's scary to me is how quickly we are at part 3.  I'm approaching my 40th, feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing and been having some short term memory issues.  caretaker is the perfect music to push me through it.  I hope :/

thanks James for the update. Always intrigued to see how your projects progress, and this one is fascinating (and troubling and emotional!). Barbican lineup looks interesting too...

[Soloman Tump]

Hella getting that 3CD set.

Yep. Barbican would be amazing too.

[Chelmsfords Least Wanted]

Incredibly stoked for all of this - thank you JK - i'll be on top of that 3CD set
