big sorry tim for my misunderstanding. yet i think creating such arkive would stop all those false bootlegs rotating on eBay/anywhere and fans being ripped off further more - mu mu works should be archived somewhere, just like in museum. for no money, made sort of public domain thing, creative commons etc. what could be better then archive.org? maybe B&J should be asked, think bout such thing. but this might be just another mad fanboy rambling... > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 16:40:15 +0100 > From: "PVC" <pvc(a)positivevoid.co.uk> > To: "'All bound for Mu-Mu Land.'" <klf(a)mailman.xmission.com> > Subject: Re: [KLF] the KLF and archive.org > Message-ID: <4F316E1470B348B496363B4BF29D0527@pvchq> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > For the sake of good order. > > > > Neither Gimpo nor I have spoken with either Bill or Jimmy regarding the > recent frenzy of on-list based file sharing so I am unable to state their > absolute position. > > > > What I said to Adam, which is unfortunately misquoted, is: > > > > Jimmy told me that when he and Bill decided that they wanted to delete their > back catalogue they intended that it would respectfully remain just so.

Turntables
by Mark Humphrey 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

This appeared to get stuck in my outbox, so re-sending: I agree with Dan's comments about USB turntables. They are designed for people who want a cheap and cheerful way of transferring vinyl to their iPods. They are definitely not designed for audiophile quality archiving. There are still plenty of good brand new quality turntables out there. On the budget side both Pro-ject and Rega sell highly regarded products, but all require a phono stage. I have a 19 year old Rega Planer 3 that is still going strong (fitted with the long discontinued Linn K9 cartridge). I only have one rarity, the IGUN grey vinyl. I recorded it to a 16bit WAV file some years ago, but it has a few loud clicks at the beginning (easy to manually remove). The over-all sound quality is probably no better than other copies out there. As for 24bit/96k sampling, many current audio cards will do this, but again it requires pre-amped output from the turntable. This can be achieved by using the ARTcessories USB Phono device (I have one too) only as a phono pre-amp, not a sampler. This is because it has analogue output as well as USB (i.e Turntable > ART device > Computer sound card). One day I'll have a play around with this. Time, I need more time! Cheers, Mark H

Hi all I moved house over the weekend and I still haven¹t got internet set up in the new place, but I was extremely excited to see how you¹ve all latched onto the idea of getting a new arkive going. Dan, you¹ve done great. I¹m at work and haven¹t got a lot of time for a real reply, so I¹ll try and address some of the questions and ideas raised so far tomorrow. Have a good one all -- Micah Stupak micah(a)benthic.cc

Here are more promo K videos, some of them are clean. The two versions of the second WTIL cornfields video are the same, they are both taken from a TV broadcast but 2a has better picture quality, however 2b is not cropped. https://www.rapidshare.com/files/3435325756/The_Timelords_-_Doctorin__The_T… https://www.rapidshare.com/files/2860207495/The_KLF_-_What_Time_Is_Love__Ve… https://www.rapidshare.com/files/1518081387/The_KLF_-_What_Time_Is_Love__Ve… https://www.rapidshare.com/files/3850219838/The_KLF_-_What_Time_Is_Love__Ve… https://www.rapidshare.com/files/2600941744/The_KLF_-_3am_Eternal__Embankme… https://www.rapidshare.com/files/1336518312/The_KLF_-_Last_Train_To_Trancen… https://www.rapidshare.com/files/1589592884/The_JAMs_-_It_s_Grim_Up_North__… Jim E.

Sharing: Mu Mu Mix and KLF008R
by Dj Hombre _ 30 Aug '11

Hi all, I've just dug through the vinyl this time...unfortunately I sold the few rarities I had a while back, but have ripped tracks from a couple of records today from near-pristine vinyl using my trusty Korg-M1 recorder. These files are in wav format with no alteration at all. So first one is; Black Wax - Mu Mu Mix (43.37Mb); http://www.mediafire.com/?1vxf2wk3icq8elu (a pretty awful megamix of KLF material, not rare at all but equally, not still being produced). I was just about to up the B-side of my KLF004X promo 12" but have realised that this track "Wandafull Mix" of WTIL is available on the main release and therefore CD, so I wont bother uploading that one. Anyway, here's the second vinyl rip from me...this time it's KLF008R, Last Train To Trancentral (aka Pure Trance 5). This 12" is one of the original 1000 and wasn't warped, definitely not the later bootleg. Details can be found here; http://www.discogs.com/KLF-Last-Train-To-Trancentral-Pure-Trance-5-Remix/re… The wavs (Remix 1 and Remix 2) are here; http://www.mediafire.com/?k2w94g8h73t4m3h Enjoy DJ Hombre

Update

First of, mega-pleased at the reactivation of this list! The archive project masterminded by Micah will finally kick this motherfucker into high-gear. I am pwrsonally enjoying ripping my collection and sharing it. OK so I'm Mac and don't do FLAC refugarly, but am learning a lot about ripping and audio mastering and revisiting my vinyl which has sat for 13 or 14 years is really fun. I'm using an ArtCessories v2 USB DJ preamp to rip my vinyl as it is hands-down rhe best rated preamp for the money. This is all just for fun though, what I really want is one that does 96khz/24 bit in good quality below $400. Creative has one but by all reports it's shit. Busypreparing a a 1987 remaster plus unadulterated rips, jusy need to compare the offcial release with the late 90s maybe offucial realease and compare soundquality. In the meantime, I will release some weird rarities in lossless that were released at a lower bitrate. Can't wait until the orher uberfans return from vacation and unlease their lossless catalogs.

Sharing: Some CD rips
by Bert Klauninger 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Good morning everybody, I've just ripped all of my KLF CDs to FLAC and decided to share some my items. So I'll start with: 1. History Of The Jams CD (which probably was easily available in the UK but impossible to find here in Austria) https://rapidshare.com/files/4092288619/hist_jams.rar 2. The Lost Sounds of Mu Vol. II (Bootleg CD) https://rapidshare.com/files/1337534449/lsom2.rar 3. 1987 (Bootleg CD by B&M Productions) https://rapidshare.com/files/2528426899/1987_boot.rar The RAR password for all three is: klf BTW - it was a big shock when I found out that I'm missing several CDs, e.g. Doctorin The Tardis (TVT), The White Room (European Version), The Lost Sounds Of Mu Vol. I - must have borrowed them to some *rse and never got them back. It won't be too hard to replace most of them, except for The Lost Sounds Of Mu I. Do you think it's worth hunting after it? I slightly remember that its sound quality wasn't too good? Best regards Bert
