doctorsassistant Part 1:
A beautiful and serene set of music turns into an alright but unscrambled soundscape. Not bad at all, but could be better.
Part 2:
Absolutely gorgeous ambient. Starts out chaotic, but turns more blissful as we ascend.
Part 3:
A great conclusion and more beautiful ambient.
Overall:
Great album, not for everyone, but still a fitting sendoff to Lyons as a CTFP maker. Favorite track: W6 - Eyes of An Angel.

about

"Take Care, Caretaker" is all of my The Caretaker-related fan projects combined into 3 coherent movements, clocking 24 hours in total length.

This project attempts to depict time in its circular form, the constant cycle of life and afterlife, death and rebirth, creation and destruction.

First part, Life (Reincarnation Stages 1-6)

This part of the project mainly consists of remastered "Everywhere at The End, Again: Reincarnation" extended with tracks from its spin-offs from "Autumn Memories Collection" and "Spring Memories Collection"

STAGE 1
"That summer day we went for a walk and after about an hour decided to visit our favorite cafe. We've been there many times, but I did not remember at all where it was, as if I had never been there. This strange little moment remains in my memory after all these years, and I still can't say what it was."

STAGE 1.5
"This week was full of amazing events, and at the weekend I was finally able to rest quietly. What can be better than a sweet afternoon nap? I guess only the next beautiful week."

STAGE 2
"I don't think I know what's happening, but I feel like my memory is getting worse. It is now harder to navigate, at least without someone. Is it just aging? I don't know if I should tell my family, or maybe even go to the doctor. I think I will be fine."

STAGE 2.5
"I'm sure I'm fine, that's just bad weather and tiredness. And all of it will be gone after a beautiful night of dreams."

STAGE 3
"I forgot where I was and what I did last week. Doctor told me something but I dont remember what. I dont even remember when we met.
It is hard for me to write. It is now time to relax."

Stage 3.5
*The most recent page in the diary shows nothing more than a few ink spots and lines*

STAGE 4
Compared to previous appointments, the patient appears more confused but generally calm and shows fewer signs of depression. The patient can not answer most of the simple arithmetic questions, nor does he can recall recent events, but he can still tell stories and interact with his family members. The patient needs and receives help in daily activities from relatives.

STAGE 4.5
The patient experiences intermittent sleeplessness at night and daytime sleepiness.

STAGE 5
The patient's mood changes sporadically and is not easily identifiable in conversation as the patient mostly repeats the same sentences over and over. The behavior is sometimes aggressive and sometimes overly calm. The patient not only requires assistance with activities of daily living but also constant supervision.

STAGE 5.5
It is now apparent that despite having the disturbed circadian rhythm, the patient feels much better while sleeping.

STAGE 6
Today, the patient refused to talk.

Second part, Afterlife (Stage 7 Acts 1-4)

This part of the project mainly consists of restructured "Unofficial Everywhere at The End of Time - Stage 7" combined with "Everywhere at The End, Again: Hell / Heaven", and other albums from "Autumn Memories Collection" and "Spring Memories Collection".

Act I: Hell (Sides S-T)
Dark world, where eternal torment greets sinners.

Act II: Purgatory (Sides U-V)
State of temporary punishment in which "the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for Heaven".

Act III: Heaven (Sides W-X)
World, where one finally finds eternal peace. Where reunited with friends, one's soul continues to live forever, even after The End of Time.

Act IV: Untitled (Side Y-Z)
*That page was not the last*

---

Third part, One Last Time (The End)

"One Last Thought, One Last Time" is my last big Caretaker-related project.
The Careataker's music has inspired me to start making music, and it will continue to inspire me to do more.
But from now on, the only things I will do for the fan projects scene are remixes and covers, submissions to other projects (maybe), and stuff like that. No more hours-long ambient remixes of ballroom music. (Actually, this album is already not ballroom music)

I'm sure I've done enough of them, and I hope that since you are reading this, you like them ;)
And if so, stay tuned for new interesting music that I will continue to do
You will definitely find something you like!
And even if not, you can always go back to these fan projects I made in 2020-2022

Much love to you all
May the ballroom remain eternal
