3. An Empty Bliss Beyond This World - The Caretaker [2011]



Meditations on memory and decay. Retrospection, amnesia, repetition, regression. Alzheimer’s unmasked. The last stand of the prefrontal cortex. Atrophy. 

Stripping away phonographic fidelity by gradations, James Leyland Kirby mirrors the peeling back of memory, re-construing time-locked thought in a haunted present. 

Kirby's genius is to make decay tangible. He is a craftsman who makes audible the ticking of memory's clock as it winds down to a vanishing point.

Thought I'd pop back and check if I had missed any gems, saw this and am hoping it's as good as the other Hauntology stuff you posted.

Hope that you are well.
