The Caretaker - Deleted Scenes/Forgotten Dreams

Just got my copy of The Caretaker - Deleted
Scenes/Forgotten Dreams today. Really enjoying it. Superb
ambient and as the blurb suggests it's a lot brighter and
more cheerful in mood than previous caretaker offerings
(particularly the most recent, "theoretically pure
anterograde amnesia"). In places it has that almost heavenly
euphoric feel of Eno's "An Ending (ascent)". It's a double
album, but there are no real distinctions between tracks, it
just sort of morphs between them, creating the feel of a
long ambient mix.

Well worth checking out, even if the other Caretaker
material wasn't to your taste.

You said the right combination of words to make me really
want to check this out. Never heard of this "Caretaker"
before.

The original Caretaker albums were ambientish ones made from
samples of old ballroom music, a lot like the music from The
Shining. The more recent releases still sound a bit like
this, but are so altered that the source material is no
longer as apparent.

Yeah, I couldn't find the one you were talking about on
slsk, so I'm checking out "Selected Memories From The
Haunted Ballroom."

I hope it's as dark as the name suggests.

it out till I wake up tomorrow :(

That's a pretty good one, it was the first album. The second
one, "A stairway to the stars" has some real gems on it too.

The track "Emptiness" is probably my favourite off that. I
used to always use it as an opening and closing track when
DJing.
