Tim Hecker has gone many places in his career, but this is my favorite. Extremely sparse, extremely dark, and all it does is make you bury your head in your hands and think. This album was exactly what I wanted to hear when I first heard it a couple years ago, and my opinion of it still has not changed. Haunt Me, Haunt Me, Do It Again has not aged a bit since its been released, and is still as vital an entry in the development of wordless music as it could ever be. More people will be hearing him due to Ravedeath, 1972, and you can't truly get that album until you hear this one (you shouldn't be allowed to buy it OR listen to it, got it?).
This album is an abandoned gas station in the middle of nowhere secluded by fog and filth and you are the only person in miles. There is no escape, especially when you are bound by headphones.
That is my interpretation anyways. This is dark ambient for people who can't take the brunt of noise or black metal. Enjoy. Link in comments.
