Why is it so hard to understand that Bill wants credit for what he does in the present?

He has done amazing stuff with Jimmy in the KLF-past, they split up and left magic and mystery for us (the fans)

What Bill is doing these days has nothing to do with the KLF past, so I can understand that if the audience is filled with KLF fans, the Fans would be disappointed because of the “hey, this isn’t KLF-stuff” and Bill still wouldn’t know if people came for his current project of his past.

Though I must say that he could have been a bit more subtle ;)

Onderwerp: Re: [KLF] Are the FLK too slim to be the KLF?

A few months back I was contacted by a list member directly. It was around the time I was doing the car.

To cut a long story short, they had had some very close dealings with Jimmy, and during their time together Jimmy mentioned that he had no inclination to have anything to do with the KLF owing mainly to being put off by fans.

If I was to break it down, my own opinion would be that Jimmy is now involved with his art, Bill with The 17. I would imagine that both will have had to work quite hard to distance themselves from their dealings with the KLF in order for their current work to be recognised in its own right. At a 17 talk I went to, Bill invited people to leave if they were there in any way because of the KLF.

It seems like it would be more hypocritical than anything else if Bill and Jimmy had any involvement.

That’s just my input.

Possibly - although Fuck the Millennium was rather pedestrian, I always thought.  I think Bill implied this was all part of the whole 1997 2K thing being a "parody" of bands reforming (specifically the Pistols getting together the year before) and the naffness of it.  But maybe not.  The fact they were sampling the Chemical Brothers on a KLF record always seemed ... odd.

But yeah, if they wanted to do something, the one thing it wouldn't be would be what they've done before.

The actual music The FLK are creating really lacks the sheer inventiveness of B&J in my opinion.   It's unimaginative and the production is mediocre.   One thing B&J always did well (apart from arguably the early JAMS stuff) was turn out a well produced product.   I don't see why they would drop all of their music business contacts and now be making boring copy & paste music that sounds like it was made in Reason.  The use of samples and editing by Cauty on "Space" outstrips this FLK stuff by a few lightyears - and that was 20 years ago.   I just think if this was actually B&J they would have pulled out all the stops, and come out with something, well.. better!
