yeah it was definately Adamski. I can recall seeing the video on the Chart Show and remarking on the good vocalist singing, i think it ws seals head superimposed on a different background. It was Seals voice which made the track though he was unkown at the time while Adamski had had a run of hits. It pretty much launched Seal. Wonder what he's doing now? Jimmy certainly seems to be a busy dance producer again. I wonder what's behind this new burst of creativity after completely dissaperaing from the scene for so long. We may as well as have someone original doing dance tunes rather than some of the poor producers churning out their stuff now. It is good to have him back, everything sounds so derivative now. I got a couple of promo's this week from Brian Zentz and Ken Ishi(fairly successful techno producers) and both sounded like they could have been recorded by Richie Hawtin in 91-2!! Old skool maybe cool but we've moved on from there. I don't need to buy something that sounds dated already. Where's the freshness, innovation and all those things that we had so much of from 89-97? -----Original Message----- From: Paul Lloyd [mailto:merciless@ntlworld.com] Sent: 17 September 2002 14:07 To: klf(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [KLF] Cauty >Killer was first done be Seal&. wasn't it adamski with seal on vocals. seal later released it in his own right too. ~paul _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf _________________________________________ This INBOUND message to Frontline Limited has been checked for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service. ------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail message and any attachment(s) are CONFIDENTIAL and may contain legally privileged information.

Killer was to my knowledge first released on Adamskis LP "Dr. Adamskis musical pharmacy" featuring Seal back in rave-days, and later released by Seal himself. // WeaZ -----Original Message----- From: Paul Lloyd To: klf(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: 2002-09-17 15:06 Subject: RE: [KLF] Cauty >Killer was first done be Seal&. wasn't it adamski with seal on vocals. seal later released it in his own right too. ~paul _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf

He seemed to warm a little though. Good question. I know how annoying that can be for an artist. Years ago when I started writing music I wrote a little tune that was very popular amongst the friends and family. As I got better and wrote better songs people continued to talk about that one song to the point where I felt no one cared about the new stuff. Eventually I stopped playing it for people altogether because it pissed me off so much. I've often wondered if, say, Pet Shop Boys get sick of West End Girls because they're expected to perform it all the time. I've always hated the song personally, and I can imagine them not caring so much for it but now it's their soul sold to the Devil - it follows them everywhere and if they don't play it during a live show they know people will complain. Living in LA, I've met a few musical heroes over the last few years (which still amazes me) and a few when I worked in a major hotel and they'd come in on tour. I've always tried not to play the gushing fan, asking a million questions ("Did you ever actually record E Train?"), and bring every item I own to be autographed instead talking to them like a normal person. They are always more open to you then. I'm sure, once Bill realized you weren't going to ask him about some obscure K-fact he welcomed being able to say to a fan "yes, it does piss me off and I try to avoid it so thanks for not asking about rereleasing the catalog." -paul seeing another musical hero Sunday night Currently in rotation: Wonderlick - Rough Mixes; The ITs - self titled; Zappa - Wisconsin State Fair 84

Is this the most illegal recording ever?
by John 15 Sep '02

42 hours worth of material... Sheesh! Tracks feature a few by The KLF. http://pod-135.dolphin-server.co.uk./~boom/thecd/boom.php imitating the imitators, recycling the recycled, bootlegging the bootleggers: boom selection has done it again. while the press have been hailing, slating and generally throwing promotion towards these new fangled 'mash ups', boom selection has become the punk journal of the scene. we don't take ourselves too seriously, we're not pretencious arses, we blatently disregard copyright laws and any traditional notion of the music industry, yet we embrace anything from pop music to the obscurest creation just emailed to us. we wanted to put together a very special collection of music, thing is we couldn't choose just 20 or 40 tracks - so we've done it in style by making a 3 cd mp3 set (ie. you play them on your pc or mac's mp3 player) containing 432 tracks and 11 full mixes. it's a blueprint for the site: not just bootlegs, but remixes, barrstard pop, fuckups, cutups and all the other shit our headphones vibrate to - there's no logic yet people seem to dig it. these cds contain every booty of note from the past year, some anchient appropriationist musings, some (shock!) 'original' tunes and more refference points than you can shake a strokes record at. with around 2000 uncleared, unauthorised samples it must be the most illegal record this year. you need to be quick to get one of these before we get in serious trouble. http://boomselection.info/ eclectic method a "short mashup of tony's speech yesterday at the TUC conference in which he warns us about nutty mr.bush" http://www.btinternet.com/~hodzic/load/EclecticMethod_Blair.wmv
