Selected Memories from the Haunted Ballroom is the debut studio album by the Caretaker,an alias of musician Leyland Kirby. Released in 1999,it consists of an influence from the horror film The Shining,manipulating songs from the 1920s to resemble the film's music. It differed from Kirby's earlier works in that it did not manipulate pop songs to create noise albums,as he did under the V/Vm alias. It rather slowed down big band records to create a hauntological atmosphere,as he did on the Caretaker's early albums. However,the packaging was the same as other V/Vm releases. The album was met with positivity from music critics,who praised its hauntological themes.
