An Empty Bliss Beyond This World is the album that put The Caretaker on the map. Still popular to this day, it is definitely recognizable. The cover art is the painting "Happy In Spite" by Ivan Seal.

Both An Empty Bliss Beyond This World songs uses 2 songs, the intro uses Anytime Anywhere by Layton & Johnstone (0:11 - 0:17 for intro, voices I'm not entirely sure. The main melody uses The Wedding Of The Painted Doll by Layton & Johnstone (0:01 - 0:40) this mix loops 4 times. It's reused in a bunch of songs. They're reused in: the weirdcore live performance, the french live performance, Post Awarenss Confusions 2 & 3, all stage 5 songs, and all stage 6 songs. These 2 songs in 1 deal is due to record skipping on Alabamy Bound, causing the song to playing before the main one playing.

A Relationship With The Sublime uses Anytime Anywhere by Layton & Johnstone (0:00 - 0:17). It loops 9 times. It was reused in the french live performance.
Both Mental Caverns Without Sunshine uses the transition of "and as they lead him away" to "and parting his garments" in Leyland's super rare St. Luke Passion record. However, the songs have different loop numbers. 1 loops 19 times, and 2 loops 9 times. 2 also has a cough likely adding in from a different part of the album.
Pared Back To The Minimal uses At Dawning by Layton & Johnstone (0:00 - 0:02), at least for the instrumental. You hear that weird noise at the beginning of the 14 loops? It's vocals. From the song It All Depends On You by Layton & Johnstone the part at (0:44 - 0:45) is used. This 2 songs in 1 deal is due to record skipping on Alabamy Bound, causing the song to playing before the main one playing..
