About this deal

Artwork that uses obscene language is stolen from Merseyside church", The Independent (London) ISSN 0951-9467 , 1 October 2002, News p5. U." released a novelty single to cash-in on the popularity of Manchester United footballer Eric Cantona. Throughout 1990, the KLF launched a series of singles with an upbeat pop-house sound which they dubbed " stadium house". The poster announced that the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu "are currently at work in their light industrial unit", and that the work would be made public on 23 August 2017, [15] but Drummond denied that the duo had any plans "to reform the KLF or exploit our back catalogue in any way". Everything we've done has just been on a gut level instinct", whilst acknowledging that people would likely not believe him.

We gathered many similarly surreal tales, but still had the same central problem: I was making a film about two people who refused to talk to me.The duo "The FLK" released two albums and several singles in the 2010s, appropriating the KLF's aesthetic and musical style and mixing it with samples and references from folk music. Drummond also contributed a short story titled "Let's Grind, or How K2 Plant Hire Ltd Went to Work" to the book "Disco 2000". Although the duo remained true to their word of May 1992, with the KLF Communications catalogue remaining deleted, they have released a small number of new tracks since then, as the K Foundation, the One World Orchestra, and in 1997, as 2K. K2 Plant Hire Ltd had been registered at Companies House since 1995; Cauty and Drummond are directors. The 2017 reunion happened at 00:23 on 23 August 23 years after the burning, with the release of a book entitled 2023: A Trilogy.

Between dawn on Monday the 4th of July to sunset on Friday 8 July, Bill Drummond will be screening the film at numerous locations along the latitude ofs North.Within three weeks I was filming more reconstructions in an abandoned biscuit factory that we turned into Trancentral, the south London squat where the KLF started their empire. Kylie Said to Jason", which Drummond and Cauty were hoping could "rescue them from the jaws of bankruptcy", flopped commercially, failing even to make the UK top 100. Drummond also quashed hopes the band would be performing, rereleasing or writing new music, by saying: “Jimmy and I have always remained very close but we have no plans to reform the KLF or exploit our back catalogue in any way. On 14 May 1992, The KLF announced their immediate retirement from the music industry and the deletion of their entire back catalogue, an act which associate Scott Piering described as "[throwing] away a fortune". After the first 17 Scores for The17 Drummond opened the writing process to collaborations with The17 members.

On 23 April 2021, The White Room (Director's Cut) was officially released as the fourth part of the series. In May 1992, the KLF announced their immediate retirement from the music industry and the deletion of their back catalogue. They assumed alter egos – King Boy D and Rockman Rock respectively – and adopted the name the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (the JAMs), after the fictional conspiratorial group "The Justified Ancients of Mummu" from The Illuminatus! As the KLF, Drummond and Cauty pioneered stadium house (rave music with a pop-rock production and sampled crowd noise) and, with their 1990 LP Chill Out, the ambient house genre. The house music of Space and the KLF involved much original instrumentation, for which the Oberheim OB-8 analogue synthesiser was prominently used.It was an excuse to go out and say to people all they can say to themselves: If you want to do something, go and do it!

Flush with cash from their pop career, the duo formed the K Foundation, a creative outlet for their art projects and media campaigns. The17 were summoned at various locations along this line and the preparations for these performances were filmed by director Stefan Schwietert for a film Coast to Coast, and documented by photographer Tracey Moberly for a book of the same name. The pair were then in their mid 50s, and patiently listened as I explained how our film would chart their extraordinary journey from sampling stolen records in a south London squat to becoming one of the biggest bands in the world a couple of years later: six UK Top 10 hits in 18 months that crashed an entire mythological rave universe into transatlantic pop culture.

The KLF have been imitated to some degree by German techno band Scooter, being sampled on virtually every album Scooter have released.
