James Cauty Wishes You A Merry Christmas from Blacksmoke http://www.undercover.com.au/news/2004/dec04/20041210_blacksmoke.html by Paul Cashmere 10 December 2004 KLF founder James Cauty is sending Christmas cheer through his latest multimedia art collective The Blacksmoke Organisation with an Advent calendar at the Blacksmoke website Old fans of the KLF, The Jams, The Orb and now Blacksmoke will discover new music as they open doors for each day of the calendar. The new music in the advent calendar "was recorded earlier this year and like all of the major music works on the Blackoff Advent Calendar it's original Blacksmoke material" Blacksmoke's Keir Jens-Smith tells Undercover News. "The audio content in various containers also feature samples taken from recent Government warning messages in the UK and abroad". At one stage during the Advent Calendar, fans will hear the new Blacksmoke single. You may like to tell Undercover's readers that on Christmas Day Advent Calendar Container #25 will play the official Blacksmoke Christmas Single... available for one day only (to be deleted on Boxing Day) " Keir says. "This can also be purchased on the day from the Aquarium Gallery as a very Limited Edition 7" single (but heard free on our site)". 2005 will see new music released by Blacksmoke. "We are planning audio releases next year in addition to a complete relaunch of our website (to include a full shop section). We're working on the designs at the moment and it may not surprise you to hear that it's based on the BLACKOFF Advent Calendar design".
