The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time

Εδώ ένας άλλος φίλος, που πειράζει παλιές μελωδίες, κατά κόσμον Leyland James Kirby. Έτσι παρουσιάζει ο ίδιος το πρότζεκτ, που θα περιλαμβάνει 6 δίσκους (τους πουλάει με 5 ευρώ, πάρε τον πρώτο δοκιμαστικά εδώ):

 ''Everywhere at the end of time' is a new and finite
series exploring dementia, its advance and its totality.

Featuring the sounds from the journey The Caretaker
will make after being diagnosed as having early
onset dementia.

Each stage will reveal new points of progression,
loss and disintegration. Progressively falling further
and further towards the abyss of complete memory
loss and nothingness.

Viewing dementia as a series of stages can be
a useful way to understand the illness, but it is
important to realise that this only provides a rough
guide to the progress of the condition.

Drawing on a recorded history of 20 years of
recollected memories this is one final journey
and study into recreating the progression of
dementia through sound.''

Gyða Valtýsdottir - Epicycle

Εδώ που λες είναι μία από τους παλιούς Ισλανδούς φίλους μας τους Múm, η οποία πειράζει γνωστά κλασικά κομμάτια.
Το αγαπημένο μου trivia όμως είναι άλλο. Ότι στο πασίγνωστο εξώφυλλο των άλλων παλιών φίλων μας Belle & Sebastian απεικονίζεται η λεγάμενη μαζί με τη δίδυμη αδερφή της (και αυτή μέλος των Múm).

Να τι λέει και το Quietus σχετικά: "As a founding member of Múm, Gyða Valtýsdóttir's musical allegiance can be safely — and rightly — assumed to lie in the understatement camp; where Sigur Rós succumbed to bombast over time, Múm remained loyal to their downbeat, bit-crushed brand of pop melancholia. A collection of recordings of well-known and less-well-known classical tracks,Epicycle is less your usual OTT 'reimagining' and more like a musical anagram: while the familiar components of those original pieces remain, they do so latently as part of a new, cogent whole with their own singular beauty."
