Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again
Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again is the debut studio album by Canadian electronic musician Tim Hecker, released on November 20, 2001, on Substractif, a sub-label of Alien8 Recordings.[5] The album mixes the digital signal processing of glitch with post-rock structures and melodies.[2] The sounds used for this album, as well as most of Tim Hecker’s other works, originate from a guitar, piano, and laptop.[3] The title of the song "The Work of Art in the Age of Cultural Overproduction" is a reference to Walter Benjamin's essay, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction".[6] The track "Ghost Writing Pt. 1" samples the American television show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.[7]
