tephra/teph co. 愛 Goodnight Moon in the song Longing by Incarta'95 is such a great sample! I've sampled it myself before! It's Time by Mute Channel, however, grips me with such a dread and powerful waves of emotions all at once. All of the sample selection and audio work is glorious, I couldn't pick just one favorite, however this one is the most notable for me. Been listening to this compilation for years and still do, would've loved to contribute to this one too haha. Highly recommend listening!

Favorite track: It's time.

mon1ka One of the best tribute albums ever made for one of the most unique musical projects of the last 20 years.

May we never forget the haunted ballroom. Favorite track: Where was that place we were at where the other people live?.

"Isn't, in fact, theoretically pure anterograde amnesia the postmodern condition par excellence? The present - broken, desolated is constantly erasing itself, leaving few traces. Things catch your attention for a while but you do not remember them for very long. But old memories persist, intact... Constantly commemorated... I love 1923..." - Mark Fisher 'Ghosts Of My Life'

"Memories Overlooked: A Tribute To The Caretaker", is a collaborative effort of over 90 artists, paying tribute to the visionary works of Leyland Kirby -- in particular his Caretaker project, a long-running ambient affair exploring memory, nostalgia, and more recently, the effects of dementia. In proper fashion, this compilation was diagnosed with having early onset dementia, and is mixed and arranged in accordance with the advancement of the disease. Every passing hour, to quote Mr. Kirby in regards to his 'Everywhere At The End Of Time' series, "will reveal new points of progression, loss and disintegration. Progressively falling further and further towards the abyss of complete memory loss and nothingness." The project began as a compilation for the fans, by the fans - yet upon receiving numerous submissions from artists whose family members had battled with dementia, it seemed to take on a more meaningful purpose.

Tonight, let's all raise a golden drink to Leyland Kirby, aka The Caretaker. We know the score.
