Those who suffer from 'theoretically pure anterograde amnesia' will still be able to recall memories laid down before the onset of anterograde amnesia, but will exist in a transient world where anything beyond their immediate attention-span disappears permanently from their consciousness. Where once the Caretaker’s music seemed to recall an imaginary past, all such memories have faded. It is now the present, the vapour of here and now, which is crippling, fearful, and sinister. The ballroom music of yore has been supplanted by a frazzle of static, fuzz, and chasms of atonal doom. Possibly this is the definitive Caretaker release and will appeal to those who enjoy the isolationist output of William Basinski and Brian Eno.
