Is it an age thing? I dunno ... personally, after vising Trancentral itself in May, I found that far more inspirational than any actually KLF record - particularly some rarity than only 200 people on Earth know about, and isn't musically very good (hello "Love Trance"!) The output and work, and Bill and Jimmy's imagination, became tangible and real standing outside that house on Jeffreys Road (also far more so, I think, than they would have on meeting either Drummond or Cauty now, and trying not to stare at their grey hair ... ) :-) As for it being "The End" - well, maybe that would be a good thing. There's a lot of artists and DJs, etc, on this list, and I think any claim to being true geniuses the KLF have pissed away over the last 10 years - really, they're nothing but self-indulgent solo bores now, with a sharply diminishing relevance or claim to being artists. Maybe we should all just turn our backs and produce our own work. For as much as we all talk about Blacksmoke and "No Music Day" or whatever, I think deep down a lot of us suspect it's just time-filling fromboth of them. Maybe another few years will bring about the 6-CD KLF box set. After all, every other band with a similar chart success has succumbed to this eventually - why not the KLF? I mean, they're weren't THAT different and special ... Were they? That's my feelings on the matter, anyway.

Happy Birthday! Funnily enough, it's the complete opposite for me. If I want, I can download (theoretically, at least) any track - no matter how rare - from an FTP site such as Rob's and it won't fade or scratch no matter how much I play it. Also, I've copied most of my collection onto iTunes now but I only find myself playing Chill Out or The White Room anyway - both of which came from CD. For me, owning the records is just the same as for people who collect stamps, butterflies, rare plants, car numberplates, those Hazchem signs off petrol tankers or anything else for that matter. You could have an album full of photocopies of stamps, a book full of pictures of butterfiles, or just buy the Hazchem stickers from the supplier, but where's the fun in that? Of course, it is a shame that my collection is hidden away in a number of (very heavy) metal record boxes so it's not quite as accessible as a stamp album might be, but you can't have everything. I think I might trim it down a bit over the next few months, sell of some of the duplicates (I have 5 copies of Pure Trance 5 and 10 copies of "1987" - all original), etc. but that will be that. Finally, I've decided what to do with my collection when I've had enough of it. I'm going to drive it out to a field (probably not Stockholm; more likely Welford), set it on fire, film it and release the film as 'Watch Some Bloke Watch The KLF Burn', or something like that. I think it will be a fitting tribute...

I managed to pick up a copy of the "Aubrey Mixes" CD about 9 months after its first release in a CD shop in Aberdeen, so it was still on the shelves (at least in indie shops) by October 1992. There was also a reissue of the CD in 1994 (part of a Big Life reissue campaign that included both "Loving You" CD singles, the "Little Fluffy Clouds" CD single - all with different catalogue numbers - the "Perpetual Dawn" CD single and "Clouds" and "Dawn" 12" singles and 12" remixes - at least some of these had the same catalogue numbers as the original 1990-1991 issues). The only way to tell the difference between the 1992 and 1994 versions of "Aubrey" is to look at the matrix on the underside of the CD. If it says "Nimbus", it's an original - if it's says "Mayking", it's from 1994. There was also a US issue of the CD on Caroline Records in 1994, too.

Hello

I managed to pick up a CD copy of The Orb's Aubrey Mixes - The Ultraworld Excursions. Question: Is it rare or not? It's surely good anyway (especially the Fluffy Clouds and the Huge Ever Growing... mixes)! It was inexpensive, anyway, just I'd like to know...

Thanks for answering. a Gyerek

Up & coming Orb/KLF news (from this month's Clash magazine): - If OrbSessions Vol. 1 sells well (big demand), then 'Orbsessions Vol. 2' will be released, which Alex hopes will be the whole of the original Space album (with Orb samples left in), which he might go and rework some of the tracks with Jimmy Cauty. - Transit Kings album is on the horizon - no release date as yet. And from this month's Flux magaine: - There's a two page Penkilin Burn 'advert' called 'SCORE' which essentially advertises the 'No Music Day' on 21st November. - He's undertaking a new project called "The 17": "a project being peformed in Stockholm and then Newcastle reflects his passion for a move away from recorded music towards live and one off phenomena. This involves inviting people of all musical abilities to join a choir that will sing choral melodies composed by Drummond, leading on to performances at funerals, schools, prisons and weddings. This is all part of Drummond's challenge to our current state of interaction with music, ignited by his concern that all musical genres have an element of 'sameness'." The issue of Flux (issue 51) is worth getting for KLF-fans, because of the 'SCORE' pull out - at the very end of the magazine. :-)
