Hi... Sorry for the shit title, can anyone link me to similar stuff to The Caretaker's remixes of vintage tunes. I imagine it's old ballroom stuff remixed to a modern standard.

This particular stuff reminds me Eraserhead... Kind of Fats Waller organ stuff from the 1940's.... But I'm not educated enough to figure out the sound.

There's something incredible haunting about it all.... It puts my brain into a very stange state of mind and I love it...

Off to bed in a minute but having a quick scan through the links you've posted - Fucking lovely stuff. Thanks! I love the dream-like ambient, discordant stuff.

The Tom Recchion stuff is great x

And wow.. that William Basinski stuff is evocative! I need to find a night being alone with headphones  in a dark room.

Most of the Ghost Box electronic stuff is great for giving you weird feelings of recall of things that may have never happened...

This might float your boat, it's a bit more "song" based but it's built around a nice haunting crackly sample -

There's so much Caretaker out there that it could leave you satisfied for a while anyway!

There's a Caretaker tribute album which is pretty good [disclaimer: I have a track on there].

Biosphere's Shenzhou is almost entirely built around loops of Debussy pieces taken from vinyl, and although the sample sources are obviously quite different to The Caretaker's, the effect is quite similar in places. Whole album on YouTube here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xGURYMMh-Q
He did a similar thing with Scandinavian folk music on Departed Glories, and although the results are less dusty sounding, it might appeal as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXhu3a802BY

Nurse With Wound's The Memory Surface has a lot of this kind of stuff on. There's only one track on Youtube - Akt Four - but it's worth trying to track it down on Soulseek (it's long out of print and no digital copies are legally available). It eventually morphed into an album called The Surveillance Lounge, which is tonally similar, albeit more jarring at times. This early mix of 'The Golden Age of Telekinesis' is particularly good.

Current 93's 'Where the Long Shadows Fall' is built around a loop of a recording of the last castrato, Alessandro Moreschi, which gives it a similarly haunting feeling. Your enjoyment of the whole piece will depend entirely on how you feel about David Tibet's vocals, however... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfiapMYwHW4

If you enjoyed the Basinski album, you might like Ruhe.

Very much enjoying all these new finds, especially the OP. Could one say the touchstone for all this is the ghostly piano at the start of Revolution 9? That sleepy, half-awake state of indefinable familiarity, descending into darkness....

I have a track by Black Thread that sounds just like one of the best Caretaker tracks. I can't find it anywhere but I imagine this is the same person. Sounds less like Caretaker but still fits the bill.

Talking of Caretaker, this album by the same bloke is very good too.

Ah yeah; is that the one that was put together by Nmesh? I love Nmesh and his passionate and ethereal take on Vapourwave. Can't remember his real name now but interacted with him a few times via his page on facebook. If so did you speak to him much ?

This reminds me of wandering around the Bull Ring in Birmingham in the late Nineties, when the Seventies were still clinging on for dear life...

That's the one. I've actually known Alex through the internet for about 15 years now, he's a massive FSOL fan so I've known him through the fan community there a lot. We've done a couple of tracks together in the past. He's an absolutely lovely chap.

Nmesh is a firm favourite here. His album with telepath is on nightly rotation

Is your collab available anywhere?

It's the only 'original' composition on my album of vaporwave-style cut-ups of early '90s rave tunes.

edit: should probably have a remix on a forthcoming compilation of his too.

Lovely stuff, thanks. Keep me in the loop on this if you remember!

I started a thread similar to this some time ago about music for staring into the void and I received some excellent recommendations, notably this one which I fucking love:

Taylor Deupree - Stil

Some Dirty Beaches stuff also really ticks the box, such as the ambient album Stateless, which opens with this track. There's also his more Suicide-ish stuff like Badlands which is often like demented rock 'n' roll from the back reaches of the mind but also features some wonderfully melancholic haunting tunes like Lord Knows Best, a song which I absolutely adore.

Fake edit: Here's the thread I mentioned above. Fuckinell cannot believe that was four years ago.
