Can I put a word in for Astrobotnia? At the time folk it was an Aphex Twin alias, but it wasn't. He release two CDs and a 12" as a sort of three part work, and they always reminded me of Space - and not just in the sleeve! http://www.rephlex.com/artists/view/32

Which reminds me... Rites of Mu remixed
by Martijn van Rheenen 15 Sep '11

I have searched for a long time for a remix made by one of our mailing list members. It was the "Rites of Mu" track, remixed without the 'speech' parts, just the musical parts. I remember I was AMAZED when I heard it the first time. So much better than the 'dark voice' interrupting the otherwise great music. Is is still available?

Announcement: KLF sharing week(s) begins today
by Dan Hutchins 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hello my friends: After reading everyone's comments, I have found myself quite inspired by the lively discussion. One point that has resonated with me is: people on this list have just been very poor at sharing over the years. Well, point taken. Micah is working very hard to solve this problem and develop the ultimate KLF (and related) archive. However, until then I've decided to open my personal vaults and share my KLF collection with the list. First of all, this initiative is in no way meant to be a replacement for Micahs's ultimate plan or to steal his thunder. This is only meant as a stop-gap until a proper archive may be established. Truth be told, I work at a University and find myself with about 10 days of free time until the next semester begins. I have spent 20 years, thousands of dollars, and thousands of hours tracking down my KLF catalog. It has been a ton of fun and the whole experience has added to my life. However, I personally feel that many KLF collectors have in the past refrained from sharing their rarities online because they don't wish to diminish the monetary value of their items; cold be wrong, but just a feeling. In these tough economic times, it's more important than ever for us to stick together and share our resources, even if it just is "art" or "entertainment" (to me the two are interchangeable, I'm sure I'll get a ton of shit for that statement). So, for each any every day I am on break until I return to work I will share one KLF item with the list online each and every day. Some things will be very rare, some will be more mainstream, but I intend to concentrate on vinyl only releases at initially. The plan is to use the tech at my disposal in my "Lime Room Studio" (well, my office is painted lime). I will be the first to admit I'm not a skilled audio engineer and don't have the best gear, but what I do have is: Macbook Pro 2.4 duo core processor running OS X Lion with 4 GB of Ram Audacity 1.3.13 beta with several versions Chris's Compressor plugin ArtCessories USB Phono Plus v2 preamp 16 bit, 44.1 KHz output, can do 48 KHz, but what's the point? Would love a 24 bit 96 KHz preamp for better archiving and editing but can't afford the $400 right now Sony PS-FL7 II Linear tracking drawer mounting turntable from the mid-1980s with a high quality, lightly used cartridge Plextor PX-B31OU Blu-Ray/DVD/CD drawer USB 2 burner/drive VMWare Fusion 3 running Windows XP SP3 allowing me to run the latest DBPowerramp and plugins Latest iTunes Various software to encode DVD audio to other audio formats I usually like to rip the vinyl to my hard drive via my preamp and Audacity. I then optimize the volume without clipping and apply a light amount of compression to make the recording sound a little more modern (the linear tracking turntable actually helps with this as the linear tracking gives vinyl a bit more of a CD sound). I clean my records first using an old-school Zerostat anti-static gun then use the 80s Discwasher system and dry. I clean the needle with the Discwasher system before every spin. I've noticed that vinyl quality counts more than anything, but I feel the antistatic and cleaning are important. i don't try to remove clicks or pops because this requires a 24 bit/96 KHz preamp to do without destroying the underlying sound quality. HOWEVER, I always keep the original rip before compressing/optimizing volume and am able to convert into any audio format via DBpoweramp and iTunes. If at any time anyone wants an unaltered file in any audio format please email me at danthutchins(a)gmail.com and I'll do my best to provide what you want. There are only two restrictions I place on my sharing: 1. I won't share it if it's still in print (US only I realize) 2. I will not share any PVC exclusives. Like him or not, PVC has uncovered virtually every single unreleased KLF item, went to a great deal of effort to do so, spent much time, money and effort to restore the sound, and then used the proceeds to fund fan-oriented activities; and he's done these things sincerely from the heart without making a penny of profit. He's carved-out a special place amongst the KLF community, has been an excellent friend to me since 1996, and I feel he deserves special consideration. Truth be told I would buy every single T-Shirt he releases if I had the money, but my financial situation isn't what it was two years ago so I just concentrate on his audio releases. Yesterday I released the alleged "Love Trance" This morning I released a CD quality promo rip of the "Waiting" soundtrack To kick-off KLF sharing days I will release another item momentarily. Dan

Waiting, Chill Out and more...
by Martijn van Rheenen 15 Sep '11

Just wanted to say, from all the tracks of KLF, I like the 'ambient' tracks the most. They just seem to withstand time the best, still sound relevant after all those years. To be honest: KSTJ really does NOT sound that 'rock' at all ;) Am I missing some ambient-like tracks from KLF, aside from Chill Out, Waiting for the Rites Of Mu and Space? They really showed their best in those tracks! And aside from The Orb, any other suggestions towards such 'inspired' ambient tracks? I don't mean the New Age shit and blabla, like Enigma....

The Lovers' Side (Extended)
by Daniel Erlemann 14 Sep '11

Hello everybody, I've just had some time to go through the wav files on my hard disk and thought I might share this one with you. It's a direct copy from some 12" white label with Deep Shit on the backside, recorded in a flat in London. I've never seen a copy of this 12" again but as other mp3 files of this mix exist, I suppose there are more out there. Somewhere. Of course there will probably be people that tell you that this mix is not the real thing but it IS. The sound is much better and crispier than the edited version from the White Room demo tapes and there are parts in it that don't exist in the edit. So here we are. I'll probably leave the track online for a couple of days. So grab it and copy it you-know-where. ;-) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5097970/The%20KLF%20-%20The%20Lovers%27%20Side%20%2… Hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Danny --- a.k.a. Kuta, KLF Online (www.klf.de)

Sharing - my wishlist
by Daniel Erlemann 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi again, of course I have some more stuff to share and I'll upload it in the near future. So stay tuned. And if anyone should have one of these in good/better/perfect quality, it would be very appreciated. This is my personal wishlist: 1. What Time Is Love? (Acid Mix) directly from vinyl, lossless 2. 3 a.m. Eternal (Live At The S.S.L. - Full Length Demo Mix) > 8 mins. 2. Justified & Ancient (Anti-A-Capella) directly from vinyl, lossless 3. January: WTIL directly from vinyl, lossless 4. What Time Is Love? (primal remix) ["techno slam mix"] from COMA CD Not to mention Jimmy's "Galloping Home". But that's completely out of town, I guess. ;-) Cheers, Danny --- a.k.a. Kuta, KLF Online (www.klf.de)
