i sort of liked their hits back in the good old days. i downloaded one or two albums maybe a year ago but never really got into them. perhaps i should give it another try...
is "the white room" the right place (heh) to start?

yeah they do rock me ever once in a good while. "Wichita Lineman Was a Song I Once Heard" is just utterly one of the most beautiful songs. so much soul. i often wonder what they could have really accomplished had they not wasted their time showing everyone up w/ that pop star front.

it was mumu not zulu, wasn't it? the ancients of mumu?
alfred | if you were indeed born in 1980, then how did you miss out on the klf? or did you come to music late in life?

I remember thier Timelords incarnation, I remember them on SNUB TV talking about it as well, but then I am bowed under a veritable field of grey hairs. Jimmy Cauty still makes rather caustic music at www.crapola.com/blacksmoke/ , and Bill Drummond became an artist and publisher, I believe his website is still going at www.penkiln-burn.com. The original mix of What Time Is Love? is still a fave track of mine, still eerie and moody after all these years.

i bought Space on ebay last night. always wanted to hear that. got LP cause i heard the CD was just one long bit w/ no track separations. i always hated it when live sets came that way.
least w/ the LP i can put the needle wherever i want.

I find the mythology of KLF fascinating - the whole Brits stunt etc... obviously a very artistically significant group
HOWEVER having not listened to them when they came out I think their music is piss poor..? Granted I have only heard 3AM. It sounds so dated. I prefer the live version they did at the Brits with Extreme Noise Terror.

3 A.M. Eternal was the shit. and then when everyone in the US forgot about it in the late 90's, it was even cooler.

The Orb, probably, who knows what you could really call it. i call it interesting.
always thought Chill Out was a little over hyped (not saying its bad at all but it does get far too much praise). a longform music video could be really cool though.

oh geez, don't get me started on the KLF! One of the greats.
Yeah it does say 'zulu' and the 'the mighty zulu nation' on another song. But they were from mumu (land). Have you seen that promo/stunt thing they did where they get a load of journalists to dress up in robes, ship them to Mu, act all weird the burn a huge wickaman thing! The expressions on there faces! I think the zulu nation thing is because of the whole cosmic force / esotoric nature of the groups. KLF meant Kopyrite Liberation Front, it's from a book called The Illuminatus triology, which is apparently fact based but with some facts changed (!).
Anyway, in this book the 'old guard' The KLF have amidst their global controling web of deciept, a bunch of dissenters called The Justified Ancients of MuMu or JAMMS. that is where the song 'Kick out the Jams' by Mc5 comes from. Even though it doesn't (if you know what i mean...)
to cut a long story short The KLF/JAMMS in said novel are the Illuminatie (in real life), and they control the media and everything else, orchestrate wars all in the name of worshipping ancient knowledge and basing things on numerology (with all the cosmic connotations as well)
Which the Zulu nation follows... that's why Bambaataa looks mad, cuz the world's just a stage maaan. Hence KLFs approach.
You can see the unreleased movie 'The White Room' on youtube.
as you were...

the white album on sale today is butchered and doesn't flow right. You need to find the old vinyl to appreciate it.
Cauty makes hillarious stamps these days on CNPD on line The Cautese National Postage Disservice. They very funny, and rip off banksy abit (Kopyrite Libetation etc)...

Excellent, I'd never seen the movie like that before, I saw what must have been the shorter version, without the begining and the end. That really is a great glimpse into the legend that is Cauty & Drummond.

Do you mean the original demo version? Or is there now an edited version of what was the commercially available White Room album?

You can get the white room on an american import but it hasn't got the audiance cheering bits (from an elvis concert appently), and the tracks just don't fit together right. God knows why you can buy this and non of the other ones.
1987 is one of the funniest albums ever. Those scottish raps crack me up!
The music for the rites of mu is great as well. Dark ambience! You can get that from ebay.

Who Killed the Jams? is a very good album too, that doesn't seem to get mentioned much. But 1987.. is a classic. Taking cut and paste to new heights / lows.
