And the second bit is about a song called "Ooh Aah Cantona", I remember this song but I didn't know it was by The KLF, can anyone confirm this? "Since that time, Drummond and Cauty have made several pseudonymous returns to the singles charts, including the 1996 tribute to footballer Eric Cantona, "Ooh! Aah! Cantona", as 1300 Drums Featuring The Unjustified Ancients Of Mu" This is false. I managed to get a copy of the single from a friend visiting the UK around that time "just in case" and as soon as I heard it it was clear there was no K involvement. There was some discussion on the list and IIRC someone found out who did do it but I can't remember who. The whole Unjustified Ancients thing is a play on MU for Manchester United / KLF. -paul

http://boomselection.n3.net/ site centered around cutting up pop music and making the combinations more powerful and interesting than the original solitary elements. scroll halfway down; they talk about whitney joins the jams. and... from a ny times article Making new songs out of existing works, of course, is nothing new. There are precedents in everything from 20th century classical to cartoon music, and it is the cornerstone of hip-hop, be it early pioneers like Grandmaster Flash or later innovators like Dr. Dre. In the 80's and 90's, avant-garde sound artists like Plunderphonic, Negativland and the Tape-Beatles (as well as the pop pranksters the KLF) challenged copyright law with collages made of everything from found sounds to top 40 hits. But many musical observers trace the official beginnings of the British bootleg scene to the Evolution Control Committee, which in 1993 mixed a Public Enemy a cappella with music by Herb Alpert. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/09/arts/09MASH.html?ex=1021940835&ei=1&en=78… 4144f6362 anyone seeing radioactive man & mixmaster morris friday? happyconsumer ------------------------------------------------------------ Visit the world's greatest site at http://www.farts.com and listen to the fart of the day.

More info from the KLF FAQ 1.012: Were 1300 Drums (featuring the Unjustified Ancients of M.U.) really Bill and Jimmy? Shortly after Manchester United FC won the 1995/6 English Football League and FA Cup 'double', a record was released by a group calling themselves '1300 Drums (featuring the Unjustified Ancients of M.U.)', called "Ooh Aah Cantona". The song is a 'tribute' to the Man Utd. footballer Eric Cantona, revered by some Mancunians as a deity. The song is a techno-bassy dance attempt with some sampled crowd noises and keyboard work. The group appeared on Top Of The Pops, hiding behind rubber Eric masks, and with an Eric-"look-a-like". They held up "Ooh Aah Cantona" posters, the font of which seemed familiar. These were also distributed to the crowd at a game against Nottingham Forest the same season. However, to the best knowledge of the list members, 1300 Drums has NO CONNECTION with Bill or Jimmy. Letters to the record company remain unanswered (in fact some have been returned marked "Address Unknown"), but there is no factual evidence to suggest a link. The most probable explanation is that 1300 Drums are probably fans of both Man Utd and KLF, maybe read the Manual and decided to try out the advice, and the only reason they mention the un-JAMs is because Man Utd = M.U. = Mu. -----Original Message----- From: Darren Forster [mailto:darrenforster99@ntlworld.com] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 4:03 PM To: Trancentral Subject: [KLF] Ooh aah Cantona? & Brit Awards stunt...

That 1300 Drums track has been in the discography for some time now. It's listed under "Things That Look Like KLF Releases But Aren't". [1300 Drums] "Ooh! Aah! Cantona" by 1300 Drums featuring the Unjustified Ancients of M U [Manchester United] is NOT a KLF probject. 1300 Drums *may* in fact be N-Trance. -----Original Message----- From: Darren Forster [mailto:darrenforster99@ntlworld.com] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 4:03 PM To: Trancentral Subject: [KLF] Ooh aah Cantona? & Brit Awards stunt...
