Source material for the Caretaker

[t yst r]

I've been trying to find the original songs that were used by the Caretaker. Apart from what I found on whosampled.com and a Youtube channel there isn't much more. I'm the most interested in the ones on 'Everywhere at the end of time stage 2'. I would love to know what that last track is.

I did find the first one, which is 'Love's old sweet song' by James Molloy. Discovered it while watching the movie Awakenings.

Anyone else know something?

was thinking about this as well

I found this playlist a little while back that has a fair few. It's so odd hearing the originals having become so used to them in the context of the caretaker tracks. Room with a view

not long ago he linked to this channel on his fb page, I haven't checked but I'm guessing there's a fair few of them on there

Ok, I just found out about this wonderful piece, 'The Grand Canyon Suite' by Ferde Grofé. It's been sourced for three tracks in stage 2 of EATEOT (C4, D1 and D5).

I'm not very familiar with American composers and their work. This makes me want to find out more about them. Apparently, Grofé also played a major part in making Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue a success by adapting the score for orchestra.

Original 1932 recording, conducted by Paul Whiteman.

Later recordings with better sound quality are also worth checking out.

Great thread, folks, thanks.

Ooh, I am really psyched about this thread...   

No time now, but I might recommend www.radiooooo.com for old songs outside of  youtube...
