** Some of the songs sampled in ''EATEOT'' have titles corresponding to their usage in the albums. "To Be Forgotten" is one of the songs incorporated, generally reflecting the concept of dementia, and during the first moment of musical lucidity in Stage 5, the song used is titled "Was It a Dream?", reflecting the reaction of the demented person to the clarity. With that title used as the sample, it invokes the affected person wondering either "was the disease and loss and horror all a dream I woke up from?" or "was that brief respite and return to clarity all just a dream?"

Leyland James Kirby (born May 9, 1974) is an English musician known for his noise and ambient compositions. While Kirby has an [[ArchiveBinge extensive back catalogue]] [[OlderThanTheyThink dating back to the late 1990s]] of recordings [[IHaveManyNames under almost a dozen stage names as well as his own name]], he is without a doubt best known for his releases under a project titled The Caretaker. [[LongRunner The project ran for 20 years]], beginning in [[TheNineties 1999]], first gaining widespread attention online in [[TheNewTens the early 2010s]], and concluding at the tail end of that decade with the release of the final installment of the album series ''Everywhere at the end of time''.
In its infancy, The Caretaker dealt primarily with ideas of ghosts and memory as inspired by ''Film/TheShining'' (what with its name being a direct ShoutOut), solidifying a trademark sound of [[{{Sampling}} sampled]] ballroom jazz recordings from [[TheRoaringTwenties the 1920s]] and [[TheThirties '30s]] being altered to create dreary, atmospheric {{ambient}} music. The [[BreakthroughHit breakthrough acclaim]] of 2011's LighterAndSofter ''An empty bliss beyond this World'' brought unprecedented levels of attention to the project, which also led to [[GrowingTheBeard the initiation of a new era of sorts]], as Kirby initially had no plans to continue the project beyond that album, and had a new audience with which he could expand upon the themes he wanted to cover.

** The era in which Kirby focused more on looped samples coincides with the rise of {{Vaporwave}} as a genre, especially with the 2011 release of ''An Empty Bliss Beyond this World''. While vaporwave is already a DeconstructiveParody of 80s nostalgia, the Caretaker's music plays the dementia and faded recollections of TheRoaringTwenties and TheThirties completely straight, but to create a sense of the uncanny instead of nostalgia. The latter stages of ''Everywhere at the End of Time'' are such a radical departure from even the most experimental of "sampledelia" that it feels like the entire concept of nostalgia is being shredded from existence.
