Yeah I totally agree with you on the points below. I just love Mr Cauty and the stuff he has done over the years and that statement on that site seemed to me to go against all this man stands for, dunno about Drummond, when I was younger I thought he was a geek looked like he should have been in OMD cauty his misses cresida and Mr Thorpe I thought were well cool. So yes mate Agreed. ------- Original message -------  From: KLF- gyerek <klfboy@hotmail.com>  Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2004 11:56:36 +0000  Subject: Re: RE: AW: Re: [KLF] A KLF Communication  OK, so no booo-ing. But. When they stole the ABBA-tune, they never said that "We are ABBA" or aything...if they were copyrighters, they would live the lifestyle of the rich and shameless. Cauty is still stealing tunes (maybe he's not as good at it as he used to be, I'd never touch a Celine Dion track). The problem WAS and still is that wanda "mummy" dee toures the world and saying she's the KLF, she wrote the successful tracks, etc. B&J never went on a world tour saying they are the artists they sampled (Hey hey we are not the monkees). That's the difference...millions of K-fans said it before that wanda dee did NOTHING, literally nothing apart from "being sampled" in two KLF hits. Maybe Drummond wrote that note, maybe not. I think that he spent too much time on the alienation trip. He surely was the mind of the KLF and Jimmy the heart, I think. Anyway Chill Out will be the greatest album of all time now and forever and there are no wanda samples on it. LT2T and WTIL would sound exactly the same without wanda. Agree? a Gyerek

 Boooooo me all you like, at the end of the day that KLF communication, is “the pot calling the kettle black” as they say. Looks like everything KLF represented and gave the impression of what they fight against now they are the copyrighters winging. Whats the KLF all about mmmmm lost the plot now boys. Personally I am sceptical that that communication did come from then, or im hoping it didn’t what a shame if it is. I always thought Drummond was up his own jacksy but always thought jimmy wasn’t and that’s why I respected him what a shame. My guess is Drummond alone wrote that.

and there's not one ounce of originality in any of their work

Yeah, and how about the collage artists/life artits/tricksters/pranksters? Duchamp? Negativland? They ARE original!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

...

While one has to admit that "Doctorin' The Tardis" was ripped from various other sources and "What Time Is Love?" is based around a riff from Andrew Lloyd Webber - where exactly do "It's Grim Up North", "Last Train To Trancentral" and their biggest success "3 A.M. Eternal" fit in here ?

Hm. I thought about it yesterday. Let's see: 3AM Eternal uses directly the KC and The Sunshine Band's "That's the way aha ahaI like it aha aha"-phrases. While having international success as The Timelords they even referred to a future use in their Manual book. See also: Dance to the music/Jams have a party.

Last Train To Trancentral uses those woo-woo sounds from the Rolling Stones' Sympathy For the Devil track. The woo-woo sounds were also used by Thrill Kill Kult (who, along with the KLF are probably the only ones who weren't sued by the Stones. Carter USM, but even Janet Jackson had to pay heavy royalties for using snippets or vocal phrases -NOT samples!!!- from the Stones' work. While Robbie Williams stole the whole fucking Sympathy song, renamed it "Let Me Entertain You". Was he sued? I don't think so...). The Sympathy... track was covered by many artits, but those fun-loving Slovenians, Laibach did it best: they released a whole album from their versions... See also: The What Time Is Love Story.

America: WTIL has a Motörhead-sound-alike guitar ("Ace Of Spades").

Justified... has the Jimi H. sound-alike guitar ("Voodoo Chile").

These are not just rip-offs. These are REFERENCES to the original songs, built into another songs. They give further meanings to the KLF tracks.

...

...

I wonder if it wasn't for Tony Thorpe the klf would not exists or had any tracks to use

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Sacrilege!!!!
