THE RETROFUTURISTIC SELECTION
THE CARETAKER - AN EMPTY BLISS BEYOND THIS WORLD
Leyland Kirby has been producing heartbreaking, almost funereal, minimal music, consisting predominantly of splicing low-fi samples from old ballroom records, for nearly 20 years. An Empty Bliss Beyond This World is perhaps the finest example of his body of work, not unlike The Disintegration Tapes in its concern with decay, memory and melancholy. (artwork: Ivan Seal)
