The KLF did a lot of things that made me think. There will never be an answer or closure to many of the things they made me think about. So I will continue to think. That, to me, is the point. That’s ‘art’.

When I finished reading the Illuminatus Trilogy, I felt the same way as I feel now about The KLF. What was that all about? What was the point? It could have been better if….

We have to accept the contradictions or we will always be Waiting, which could be a good thing.

Not anger, more mystification. They want to have it both ways. They went out with this big mysterious, well, I don't know what to call it; self-destructive incomplete sentence but they somehow expect their fanbase to not question it, move-on and lap-up whatever unrelated projects they decide to put out. Ususally when an artist goes out in this manner they pull a JD Salinger, move to a cabin in the woods, and are never heard from again.

There's nothing wrong with an artist wanting to move on and try new things, but people crave closure and an artist really needs to provide it if they want their new material be be accepted on its own terms. At least when Curtis, Lennon, Cobain et al died there was closure and greedy relatives to mine the archives and give the fans the remainder of their material.

If feel that if B&J want to break-away from the KLF legacy they really need to address it head-on and put out those unreleased rarities that keep the fand talking. Hey, we know these things exist, PVC has practically turned himself into a KLF Communications imprint of unreleased stuff and we can usually expect an item a year from him like clockwork.

If they don't want to reissue the old stuff fair enough, but the fans aren't going to release these guys from the past until they answer some questions and pony up the rest of their mythical archive. It's just human nature.
