If last week’s new Caretaker installment and additional 16-song album weren’t enough to satisfy your Leyland Kirby fix, then how about 100 more Caretaker-related tracks?!? [wild applause] Nmesh, the plundering madman/genius who released one of our favorite records of 2017 in Pharma, has curated a massive compilation titled Memories Overlooked: A Tribute To The Caretaker. True to its title, the comp features over 90 artists who together pay tribute to Kirby’s six-part exploration of dementia, Everywhere at the end of time. Like that ongoing album, Memories Overlooked is “mixed and arranged in accordance with the advancement of the disease.”According to Alex Koenig (a.k.a. Nmesh), “The project began as a compilation for the fans, by the fans — yet upon receiving numerous submissions from artists whose family members had battled with dementia, it seemed to take on a more meaningful purpose.” In addition to a track by Koenig himself, other artists on the comp include such TMT-friendly acts as Treasure Hunt, Ben Zimmerman, 猫シ Corp., Diamondstein, and many more.The best part is that 100% of the digital proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association, a “voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research.” And if you wanna show monetary support for the artists who made it all happen while also ensuring that the medium itself will deteriorate over time, complementing the digital release will be a limited-edition 4x cassette box set, which will be released via No Problema Tapes sometime before the end of the year.Watch FookedonHonix’s trailer for Memories Overlooked: A Tribute To The Caretaker below, and look for the digital release October 27 via Bandcamp.01.

It's a great cause that's close to me as well, lost my own grandfather to dementia, and my wife's grandfather is slowly slipping away due to Alzheimer's. If the proceeds of this comp help even just a little then I'm proud to contribute.

Really fun to hear people's experiments in this sound palette.
Honored to be on here with 3 tracks, one as Kotekan and two as Sepha. Some background, my maternal uncle and grandfather both suffered from premature memory loss and dementia, and seeing my uncle slowly lose himself until his short term memory was about 30 seconds long and he could not take care of himself has had a major effect on me. My tracks as Sepha use 78s from my grandpa and grandma's collection of jazz records as the main source material. Stuff they danced to when they were young, deteriotated by time and use...

Bless you man, heard it so many times now I've lost any perception of whether it's actually any good or not, plus it seems completely overshadowed by the incredible track that follows by Chris Kiehne. Just stunning, and quite possibly the first track I've heard this year that's given me goose bumps - there's something about the piano that really makes me nostalgic in the same way oddly as the end scene of T2 with the monolgue and shot of the road - I had to repeat the track 4 times in a row to take the beauty all in !The cubus track is incredible, what a great composition!

Yeah, the Chris Kiehne track is stunning as well. I really like the two together, it's a good pairing. Alex did a great job putting these together, thoughout most of the compilation it has an album-like flow and feel, which is missing from a lot of compilations.
Spoiler
both the cubus and Chris Kiehne tracks are absolutely stunning - I felt they were a natural pairing - thank you for kind words Sepha, most of the time spent on my part over the last few months was carefully arranging everything in a manner where each track transitioned or segued well, but even more importantly, the album as a whole transitioned from upbeat / carefree into total darkness / hysteria.. nice catch on the darkening artwork

My buddy APOXUPON is on this - he is a big fan of The Caretaker and thanks to NMESH posting here earlier I was able to give him heads up.
Thanks for putting this together, look forward to digesting this over the next few days.

For those who might be interested, RADIO ORANGE 94.0 in Austria did a special feature on the 'Memories Overlooked' compilation, which is now available to stream and download - you may want to brush up on your German beforehand!

Loads of tribute albums exist for bands and artists who are still active.

Yes, it would "appear" he is still among the living - I'm not aware of any rule that states an individual has to be deceased in order to pay homage - Please cite your sources.
Any word on the tape release?
They're currently being dubbed - I'll have more details on this later in the month.

Tape set ordered. That'll get me through January. Managed to hold off listening to this so I'm looking forward to it all the more. With this amount of music it might even keep me busy til Stage Four in March

No Problema stuff is normally really slow coming from Chile.
Think Alex actually said this morning that copies had started arriving today though, so hold tight.
