Intrigue & Stuff (Volumes 1-4)

Coneman Really cool, a definite must listen! Tracks like the Watcher, and the Watched, and tracks like wanting an absolute beyond have some absolutely crazy bass in them, and tracks like speeded up slow motion with that insane stereo panning effect. If you don't own this album, you will now. Favorite track: The watcher and the watched.

manlietto Not the Kirby we'd expect, but the one we need. Favorite track: Video 2000.

unruh2525 Unless you’re confronted by the truly old at heart I can’t imagine playing this track for anyone who won’t immediately want to know what it is. While possibly not my favorite or the best - that decision is impossible for me with this album - it is a hell of a grand opening. Favorite track: Video 2000.

about

What is ''Intrigue & Stuff'' ? The title may refer to a Martin Hannett quote regarding Factory Records - "There's an awful lot of incest that goes on" mused Hannett, "Intrigue and stuff".

Originally spread over four twelve-inch volumes here compiled as one complete download.

The music goes in many angles and directions. As awkward as it's soothing. It's the future, it's the past. Using electronic means, abusing styles. Existing outside of scenes. Personal and Impersonal. Out of time, in time.

Sounds including barely legible renditions of New Beat, Acid, Concrete, emotive synth music and even a John Denver cover - all coated in that impenetrable sheen that characterizes so much of his music. these 19 tracks expand his mottled vision of the future into surreal new territories.

Patience (After Sebald)
by The Caretaker

supported by 98 fans who also own “Intrigue & Stuff (Volumes 1-4)”

Comme Deleted scenes, forgotten dreams, Patience (After Sebald) se détache dans la discographie de The Caretaker puisque Leyland Kirby y compose une bande-originale pour le film du même nom. Pas de jazz mais des reprises en boucle de passages du Voyage d'hiver de Schubert (qui n'était pas le dernier à utiliser la répétition — un maître spirituel ?) ; pas de "taches" dans la musique mais plutôt un effet de neige comme sur une vieille radio — assez proche de Paysage d'Hiver. Une solitude extrême. Jordan Vauvert
