The Caretaker - Take Care. It's A Desert Out There... mp3 download

Wetiwavas

I got a sealed copy (not signed) with the K-Punk book and already have a signed copy. if anyone is interested, message me. would love to trade it for something!

Can't believe this is even allowed to be sold by Discogs given the nature of the material, not to mention the blatant "please don't resell for personal profit" request. Stopped buying from a seller because I just noticed this in his catalog. Absolutely infuriating.

I have a couple of sealed copies that I assumed were going to be binned after the Barbican show because there were loads left. I did donate to MIND and rather than sell for profit I'd be up for swapping for something in my wantlist or something you'll think I'll like. Swap in person in London would be ideal but I'm open to posting. I'll remove this if people think it's against the spirit of the release.

A few more copies just been released by Boomkat for sale online at original £15 price. By quick to purchase before the vultures buy to resell.

Hopefully this gets a proper vinyl press eventually to join the rest of my Caretaker catalog...

This is back in stock on Boomkat for anyone that doesn't want to pay over the odds from any bad dickheads charging loads for this CD.https://boomkat.com/products/take-care-it-s-a-desert-out-there

I need to buy a cd player so I can listen to the f##cker hahaha! I thought I was buying a vinyl from boomkat! (I know,I'm an idiot! It's just that I usually miss out and in my lager fuelled haste bought it without checking!)

Absolutely disheartening to see this beautiful work being sold for such extortionist prices.

I'd like to think that those who attended the Barbican show were genuine fans; a majority that were clued up on the charitable tribute it paid to Mark Fisher, one that acknowledged not only the loss of a superb theorist & critical thinker, but the post-capitalist worries that drove such self-aware intelligence to take ones own life.If you chose to sell your limited edition gig copy, do consider how you obtained it. As you pass it on, be sure to pass on the acclaimed writings by Mark Fisher! I sincerely believe his theories will amount greater cultural significance and worryingly topical relevance in the coming years.Memories; shared moments; the disintegration of privacy; the abundant array of choices & customization of daily minutiae. Nostalgia for a future that never was. Typical of Kirby's production, your mind laments the cyberverse and pines for something real, something simple.

"All costs of production were personally paid for with no cash coming back and 100% of sales money being donated to MIND. If people at the show who got a disc choose to sell them online for personal profit then that is about them. It states on the discs not to sell for personal profit and to donate money to MIND. It is what it is, it was what it was and this was done for the memory of Mark Fisher not as some sort of elite fetishism of the limited." - LK

Btw, also the mastering was done free of charge in support of the project

glad to own #12. A great work. People should definitely just wait for additional copies.

Dianalmeena

its a shame to resold this lovely work for profit.

"This disc has been self funded and should not be resold for personal profit".

Malojurus

Imagine being that cunt who sells this on for £40

Jogrnd

I have one for sale.i only want what I paid for it (£16.68) plus postage to wherever you are.i usually miss out on James' stuff from boomkat and in my lager-fuelled haste I ordered it without realising it was a cd and not vinyl! Living up to my username. ????

For those who missed this one 300-400 more copies will be made available some point early next year. These will be sealed copies which were left down at The Barbican after copies were given away at the show. Proceeds from this sales will also be donated in full to MIND.

Can we preorder now more words are necessary to post this?

For anyone who missed buying this please do not support the sharks. The audio is up on YouTube now at: https://youtu.be/zStMy1ORJek For you to listen to alongside other music by James. Also recommended is his friend who records under the name Animal and Janksy Noise his YouTube page is Raxham Roger and you may notice musical similarities between him and James as they were initially collaborators together on the first early V/VM releases.I do find it odd now that James embraces The Wire magazine especially as his early releases were an attack and parody of artists like Merzbow, The Hacker etc that The Wire was pretentiously writing about.The funniest thing about the sharks selling the copies they got at the gig is those copies are worth less than the 350 signed copies sold via Boomkat.

Also worth mentioning is the Christmess Stocking album (end of 2016 !) which among other gems contains a nice rework of Nils Frahm's preciousness and an equally necessary rework's rework's rework's of the Stranger Things' rework's rework's rework's OST (so embarrassing, this one : still they got amazing reviews and were invited at Unsound... it was time they were told some truth). So thank you James for keeping the spirit of V/VM's up :)

I released a Mrs Mills V/Vm version of Tim Hecker's last album last year bubcentral. I can't see how you come to the conclusion I'm embracing The Wire magazine. They barely acknowledge Caretaker/solo releases I do and for 'An empty bliss' the reviewer stated it would be better in their opinion with no crackle. It is what it is like it always was and always will be.

It's now up on Boomkat @ 15th Dec, 2017, 16:30pm UK. https://boomkat.com/products/take-care-it-s-a-desert-out-there

Usual case with all things 'Caretaker'. The worst thing is, many people will have bought more than one copy so they can pocket a small fortune on here from fans who didn't secure a copy in time.

And as quickly as it arrived, it was gone. . .

Low_Skill_But_Happy_Deagle

In case somebody is interested in the actuall music herein, and not the price tag mumbo-jumbo, this here is mostly a static dark ambient piece of work in the likes of Lustmord, with few changes in the volume and distortion here and there..Solitary and dark.

Redfury

Imagine being the guy who stuck it straight on at £40 anyway.

Katius

Must have. I own all of your works. Mandatory release.

Erthai

I had tickets for months and in the end was unable to make the concert. If this does not become available through an official channel with proceeds to MIND, would someone consider sending me a copy with me providing proof of a donation to MIND? Of course, I would pay for postage etc.
