KLF - did they rock you?

So, when's the next episode?

Clearly not weekly, so perhaps monthly?

Fantastic thread:

It’s thirty years since The KLF’s 3am Eternal hit Number One so I suppose it must also be about thirty years since 13-year-old me met The KLF at Top Of The Pops. pic.twitter.com/qoNmBJWBNs

Too many KLFs!

Link please?

The KLF - The White Room poll

Thank you.

New stuff coming at midnight apparently!

Hope it's a new ambient album, but i'm expecting it's just Chill Out with the samples.

i thought Logik 2 makes sense but we'll see!

On Spotify now:

Acker Bilk seems to have gone. Elvis has left the album.

It's a Chill Out remix, but it sounds great! Exactly what I wanted.

(the last third of it is markedly different from Chill Out)

it is indeed. i never thought i would enjoy listening to it again so much.

lol havent got there yet but sounding perfect on track 6

so happy

oh them last train synths melt my heart every time

I make myself annoyed by these fuckers recycling the same stuff over and over again but they disappoint me again by doing this stuff over and over ag..... oh fuck, this is great... OMFG

they could just release a CD of Madrugada Eterna repeated ten times and that'd be fine

ditto

Well, it’s got sheep sounds, train sounds, Tuvan throat-singing, and I’m only into track 3. I’m for it!

hot diggity damn

This is terrific, shame to lose Elvis and Acker, but doesn’t change the overall experience too much. Though it feels a shade darker than before.

Just gave this a listen through decent cans and a cranked Subpac (chair subwoofer thing) and can confirm it is an awesome fully immersive experience and you should all do the same asap.

Great rework, nice to hear this stuff in pristine digital quality rather than a tape of a tape of a crackly old 12" :)

the Wax Trax CD remained in print past the 1990s tbf

the CD actually sounds really good, I mainly listened to it in the car back in the day (sometimes driving along parts of the route described in the track listing) so I didn't know how well it was mixed!

(I had the cassette version from Wax Trax during the 90s, but bought the CD at some point later)

'Come Down Dawn' looks VERY promising.

It is. :)

I wish they'd just reissue their catalog on vinyl. This streaming release situation where the samples are removed is antithetical to their operating principals, although offering your music on streaming without having it available to purchase in physical formats is essentially the same as burning money, so perhaps they are still operating accordingly.

maybe they'll press up a couple thousand on vinyl and then take them to Jura

I put Come Down Dawn on repeat at low volume while I slept the past couple nights, it's amazing to wake up for a minute or two in the middle of the night and see where it's at

I wish they'd start to release these on Bandcamp.

looks like i accidentally just posted 'come back fat as a rat' on the highest grossing actors of all time vote
but i guess it works there

I don't like buying bootleg vinyl but I'll make an exception for The KLF because it's so incredibly expensive and unlikely to ever get repressed

That said I've upgraded the chances from 0% to like...2% now

I guess Bill and Jimmy don't need any money, which is good for them, I suppose.

If there is a De La Soul sampling situation with Chill Out then could they then reissue the original album on vinyl if they wanted to?

what

De La Soul can't re-release their back catalog digitally because the sample clearances don't cover downloads or streaming, only various physical formats.

I wish they'd start to release these on Bandcamp.

― jvc,

exactly.
they would be able to burn another million if they did this.

The KLF, famously known for having diligently cleared all their samples for physical releases, of course.

It's not like they ever had to burn the entire run of an album, or surrender international performing name rights to the entire band, over uncleared samples.

Spotify, Bandcamp, or Apple being onboard with casual copyright infringement as artistic expression seems unlikely, however

think the bigger question is if this is gonna culminate in anything new

would be cool if they finished the Black Room and released it

there is no way that would be good

oh, now you want new AND good!
