Simon Woolf LIke tman1015, I am a little scared of this album. It is a deeply shocking and accurate musical portrayal of senile dementia -inasmuch as I've (sadly) observed members of friends and family become gradually subsumed by it. Yet it is captivating, there are many moments of beauty along the way. I cannot stop going back for another listen. STAGE 3 - (E+F) Here we are presented with some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists form and fade away. Finest moments have been remembered, the musical flow in places is more confused and tangled. As we progress some singular memories become more disturbed, isolated, broken and distant. These are the last embers of awareness before we enter the post awareness stages.

After a time, the mood turns ominous. But in subsequent parts Kirby brings The Caretaker into agonizing new realms. These latter volumes attempt to capture the "post-awareness" stages, the point at which the patient no longer realizes they have a problem. The music becomes unstable and patience-testing. Kirby has called Everywhere At The End Of Time's last three stages an attempt at making "listenable chaos. By Stage Six, this approach reaches a harrowing peak. By putting the listener in the place of someone who is losing their mind, Everywhere At The End Of Time translates something unimaginable through a more easily understood medium: the manipulation and decay of recorded sound. The closing track, "Place In The World Fades Away," ends the series with one final drone. Then, 15 minutes in, it stops.

It’s first three albums- Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 -felt like retreads of sounds and ideas the Caretaker’s earlier masterpiece already perfected. But if Everywhere at the End of Time’s trajectory felt predictable at the halfway point, the dark, disorienting Stage 4 marks a total reconfiguration. It’s the Caretaker’s best record since Empty Bliss while evolving its sound in new and often frightening ways

The Caretaker despatches the final scene of a 20 year-long act that has uncannily lurked in the shadows of so many of our listening lives. Clad for the last time in Ivan Seal's specially comissioned artwork, this final stage sees The Caretaker mirroring the ultimate descent into dementia and oblivion, again using a patented prism of sound to connote a final, irreversible transition into the haunted ballroom of the mind that he first stepped into in 1999.

The Caretaker is a long-running project by electronic musician James Leyland Kirby, who also records as V/Vm. His work under the Caretaker moniker has been characterised as exploring memory and the gradual deteoriation of it, nostalgia, and melancholia. Initially the project was inspired by the haunted ballroom scene in the 1980 film The Shining, with his first several releases consisting of treated and manipulated samples of '30s ballroom pop recordings.

Talk about The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time - Stage 6

Anyone else have a pretty bad pressing fault with their copies of this?On mine, the vinyl near the centre hole of both sides A and D is bowed/protrudes up and out of the disc like a small hill, making it impossible to play sides B and D. They won’t lie flat, as the discs both appear to be dished.Not happy.
JoldGold
That's great to hear! ????I'll just write some more words.

Boomkat kindly sent me replacement discs. These were fine, so it doesn't look like it affects the *entire* pressing, just a portion of it. Great customer service from Boomkat as always.

Same issue here (labels are protruded near the center's holes), so it seems that is a fault affecting the entire pressing. Nevertheless, as other colleagues have reported, both vinyls are perfectly playable all through.

got mine today and I can can definitely see and feel the bump as well. still lays flat though...
Beardana
My copy has the same issue with the raised centre, but it's still playable

I've just taken delivery of my copy at work, and although I'll not be able to play it until I get home it looks like I've got the same problem here. I have one other record in my collection that has this problem (the Record Store Day Moomins 7" on Finders Keepers from a couple of years ago) and the bump in the centre of these LPs looks exactly the same.Update: So, I'm back home now and can report that the bowling is not so bad on my copy that the records won't play - both sides of both records are fine, although the raised area is clearly visible and noticeable when you run your fingers over the labels. I can't say I'm not relieved that mine's okay, but I'm sorry to hear your copy is badly affected.

I think most people didn't get them so fast. expecting mine on wednesday or thursday and will report back then!

Limited (100 copies) vinyl (black) sets of stages 1-3 and 4-6 available on Boomkat. Great deal if you don't already own them on vinyl.

Thanks! And nine more useless yet unavoidable words for you.
