The bit at the end is from Holst's "The Planets Suite" (before it breaks down into a brief snippet of Snap's "The Power" and what sounds like the refrain from the Christmas carol "Little Donkey"). It think it might "Jupiter" or "Neptune" - one of the gas giants, anyway! Considering the structure of the album, I would imagine there's a few more Holst samples tucked away in there (also, "The Planets Suite" is sampled at the beginning of one of the Moody Boys "LTTT" remixes - the one that starts "Metaluna is a planet quite like the Earth ... ") Sorry, classical is not really my strong point. I have been told that the album samples a lot of Tangerine Dream, though. But then, prog rock is not my strong point either! John Scotland, nr. Metaluna

Hi! The album title of the (hopefully) upcoming Black Smoke album will be "Kittens of mass destruction"! But what a title is that?!? Dan --- a.k.a. Kuta, KLF Online (www.klf.de)

As far as travel motifs in the KLF's work is concerned, I suppose I should also mention Drummond's "How to Be An Artist" book. It starts at Southampton in England and ends at the Dounreay Power Station in the far north of Scotland. The book's photos trace out a journey in a way similar to the track-listing of "Chill Out" (although I'm sure Lake Jackson is far warmer than Aberdeen!) John Not Scots, just Scott-ish.

Black Smoke Album Title
by John Milne 18 Feb '03

The Goodies were great in their day (like Monty Python) but why refer to a sketch that's nearly thirty years old? It's hardly as cutting edge as a joke about the current situation in the Gulf, is it? I also wonder if it'll take Hans Blik to actually locate a copy of the album ;-) John Not dead, just resting

Looking for a preacher man ...
by John Milne 16 Feb '03

16 Feb '03

Several weeks ago, I managed to download the "ODC1" mixes of "Chill Out" from the web-site mentioned a few posts back. After e-mailing the remixer involved, I got an e-mail back from him which told an interesting story. The preacher who's sampled on "Chill Out" (Doctor Wade) is apparently still broadcasting religious radio shows in Newark, New Jersey (or at least, he was in 1999). I just wondered if anyone on the list came from that part of the world - and whether they could confirm Dr. Wade is still preaching? He used to broadcast on a Sunday, so he may be on the radio right now! John Not Scots, just Scott-ish

I always thought that "Chill Out" started something of a trend, with its motif of a geographical journey. Next up we had "Space" and its trip through the planets (okay, Gustav Holst might have thought that one up first!) Following that, we had the first three Orb albums: "Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld", which travelled from the clouds to the backside of the universe; "U F Orb", which saw them coming home again; and "Orbus Terrarum", which was all about terrestrial land features likes plateaus and oxbow lakes. Or am I reading too much into this?! John Not Scots, just Scott-ish

Re: The KLF and Pete Wylie

is it also true that Pete Wylie did the vocals for the original > grey-vinyl "It's Grim Up North"? It certainly is. Thanks for that! I'd always wondered. But in that case, is the hit version of "It's Grim Up North", with its "Part 1" and "Part 2", a reference to Wylie's own "The Story of the Blues" (Parts 1 & 2)? I always thought it was an affectionate tribute to the Fall, and their single "Hit the North" (which has a part 1 & part 2), but maybe I'm wrong! John Further up north than "up north"
