Follow the "Factual Information" link.
There you will see a currently inactive link to an Advanced Acoustic
Armaments site that is "coming soon".
Jimmy was working on this site back in March when Gimpo and I took him some
old Super8 film footage.
Advanced Acoustic Armaments have a long history.
My earliest recollections of the AAA stretch way back to tanks and a "dead
cow" story when Jimmy lived in Devon.
There was also another story (of dubious factual content) told by Stewart
Home about being kidnapped by the AAA and shown a vast arsenal of weaponry
quarter-mastered on Jimmy's farm and how after publishing the story Jimmy
received a visit from the "authorities".
When Jimmy performed the live remix of a Black Star Liner track on a bleak
mist covered Dartmoor the reports mentioned the tanks without reference to
the AAA yet anyone who has listened to the track with its distortion and
loud electronic / industrial noise-scape will quickly recognise the AAA
influence.
Other notable appearances / performances of the AAA include "This Brick"
shown at the Barbican event in 1997 and the tanks made several appearances
at various protests like the Reading Bye-pass camp and a "Reclaim the
streets" event in London.
Experimental sound-scapes are ever-present in Jimmy's artwork. just think of
Chill Out, Waiting and This is NOT what the KLF is about (on the Stadium
House video) but more tantalizingly there is at least one as yet unreleased
piece that is specifically attributed to the AAA and that is an experimental
album called Squawk.
It was originally given a catalogue number and was to be released on Mute
Records.
I have no idea if the new site will open up a branch of new material or just
expose the roots a little but I am just delighted that unlike the KLF,
K-Foundation or CNPD this part of the tree has not been cut off and burnt.
Keep looking forward.
Love peace and happiness.

James (as he is now known) has a new official site.
http://www.jamescautyukartist.com/index.html
It's overseen by l-13.org.
Nothing to buy & not much to see but it's news.
