Re: [KLF] New Justified and Ancient cover version
by John Milne 23 Aug '06

I once read somewhere that James Last did a cover of "Doctorin' the Tardis" (not a word of a lie!) In the end, it turned out to be a mix-up over a tracklist on a 1988 CD - but I can imagine that even that, if it had existed, would not have been as bad as Chartbusta and the Megamixers (as they were genuinely called!)

The end of the my ebay selling on Flickr
by John Milne 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I'm still decluttering, but all the music I'm selling has now gone. I took a photo last night of my remaining KLF CDs (but not books or vids) and upped it to Flickr. Those interested to see what I have left can find it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paranormalhandy/221383504/ Also, two new audio files upped to rapidshare. The first features a short documentary piece about Acid Brass (just the sound) taken from a BBCTV show broadcast in summer 1997. I can't even remember what it was, but it showed bits of the Edinburgh Fringe. Acid Brass were appearing that year, and there's an interview with some of the brass band members, and audience members of their Fringe show. And there's also snippets of a live WTIL. All in all, I hope people like it: http://rapidshare.de/files/30375976/14_Acid_Brass_WTIL__Live_Edinburgh_Fest… Secondly, I've mastered an audio of the live at Chipping Norton Rave clip: http://rapidshare.de/files/30376655/03_What_Time_is_Love_3_AM_Eternal__Live… Sorry if this seems indulgent. Hope people enjoy all the links. John

RE: [KLF] RE: Orb podcast track "Spaced"

Yes, ME is different to the track on "Chill Out". In fact, as a point of interest, does anyone know any difference between the JAMSCD5 version and the KLF010CD version of "Madrugada Eterna"? I'm sure the KSTJ CD version has got a slightly different intro - but apart from that, is the same. Any views?

Yes i think, albeit very subtle there are definate differances to the released version, and it is listed as being from 1989. Perhaps this podcast track and indeed "Pluto Calling" from the Orbsessions album prove not only that the original material exists but they Alex and JImmy arnt reluctant to let it be heard! ....... bring on full release!!! :) Also im sure Madrugada Eterna has some extra vocal samples at that differ to the classic version from "Chill Out".... could well be Alex dropping some samples in whilst DJing but would be interesting to compare the two at close examination! ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo!

"Spaced" Vs "Space"
by John Milne 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Just spotted on Wikipedia, in the footnotes of Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld's page, it says about Space: "There are direct parallels between Space and Adventures but Cauty removed Paterson's attribution from the credits". Now, doesn't this mean LX's name was removed from the sleeve, but NOT his musical contribution from the album itself? I know you should never trust Wikipedia (especially since "Paterson" is spelt wrong) - but I've often wondered if this might have been the case. In fact, how much did Alex contribute to other things, like the Pure Trance singles, Chill Out, Space (as released) or even IGUN? I'm pretty sure he was instrumental (no pun intended) in the creation of "3 AM Eternal", but he's only ever creditted for one remix. So, did Alex get a raw deal in KLF credits in 1989/90? Wikipedia seems to suggest that Jimmy just thought of him as a DJ, where was LX thought of himself as a musician (at least that's what I get from the text). If true, this would be bound to cause animosity. What do people think? John

Of course, the remix of "3 AM Eternal" is actually the "Madrugada Eterna" we all know and love. But it does throw up an interesting question - Graham Lee (guitarist on ME, Build a Fire, etc etc) said in an interview, reproduced on klf.de, that "3 AM Eternal" was originally a Spanish, flamenco-type thing that he worked on. So - are "3 AM Eternal" and "Marugada Eterna" part of the same original track? Their titles are very similar. And then there's "Mommy Don't" from Orbsessions 1, which seems to be yet another version of "3 AM Eternal", this time creditted to Jimmy and Alex. As far as the original Space - it does not sound *that* different from the released version. Except that Itunes lists it as "Spaced", which is interesting. Was a teenage Simon Pegg involved? :-) There are notable differences in orchestration at certain points, though, and (to get down to the nitty-gritty) some keyboard swooshes and noises are different. Could this really be all Alex contributed to this particular bit of SPACECD1 (as it would eventually be released)? I suppose a KLF album with all of Bill's musical imput wiped would still sound 95% the same (discuss ... ) Remember, "Pluto Calling" already appeared on "Orbsessions 1" last year - so effectively, we now have about 10 minutes of the original Orb album in the public domain. Makes it more likely there will be a full release soon, don't you think?

Orb podcast track "Spaced"
by Morphy 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Sorry this is probably old news to all you guys (i dont post on this much at all) I wonder if anyone had any info about the track "Spaced" on the current Orb podcast? Sounds like its possibly from the lost original Space album but who knows.... Cheers, Ronnie ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

Bill Drummond "The Man" 2005 reissue CD on Castle
by John Milne 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

Where is it? I was listening today to the Lilac Time's "Astronauts + ", a 1991 CD on Creation reissued by Sanctuary/Castle in 2005. It's great, both in sound quality and information. The booklet has a four page essay by lead singer Stephen Duffy, single and promo record sleeve photographs, and best of all - seven bonus tracks! Now, if only the same thing had happened to "The Man". I know Bill says he can't remember much of the recording, and the only extra track was going to be "The Manager's Speech" 10 minutes version (wot, no "I Want That Girl (Instrumental)" or "Manager's Speech Edit", then?!) ... but can you imagine what a reissue with one of Bill's essays would be like? Well worth the £7.99! And yet, nothing appeared last year. And Amazon still list it, but as "limited availability". So, I've just e-mailed the record company to see what happened. You never know - I may get a reply! John
