Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again (or simply Haunt Me) 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]
