The Caretaker - An Empty Bliss Beyond This World (2011)

An Empty Bliss Beyond This World is most likely the paragon of beauty in terms of recorded music from 2011. Old 78's rearranged in some places and brought in and out of focus in others, complete with original pop and hiss. At times spooky, at others ethereally transcendent. The structure of the pieces herein is meant to mimic the way human memory functions, particularly in Alzheimer's patients; but that's just a piece of ephemera as far as I'm considered. No need to focus on how this experiment actually plays out, the music's amazing.
