Re: Re: [KLF] bring the beat back --> John's proposed track-list
I am VERY pleased to see "disaster fund collection" in the proposal, but I think neglecting "downtown" (12") and "next" are unfortunate large omissions why not dump "mind the gap"? much better suited to a full "1987", in my opinion another criticism - while I enjoy "fuck the millennium", that's 2K, not KLF - if that's to be included, why not an edit and why not include some disco2000 (one love nation 12") On Jan 17, 2007, at 10:23 PM, John Lunney <johnlunney@o2.ie> wrote:

4. What Time Is Love 5:17 Of course. What mix isn't terribly important, but it should be something fairly up-to-date. I've put the LP version in the playlist, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice.
5. Build A Fire 4:35 The one from The White Room
6. King Boy's Dream 0:59
7. 3 A.M. Eternal 3:35 I've put the Live At The S.S.L. version in my list, because I like the intro to that version.
8. Madrugada Eterna (Club Mix) 5:19 Gets a bit of the amazing Chill Out on there, while standing on its own four beats.
9. Last Train To Trancentral 3:42 The one I've put in my playlist starts with "Okay everybody, lie down on the floor and keep calm"
10. Mind The Gap 1:05

12. Fuck The Millennium 13:57
13. Disaster Fund Collection 5:40
14. Doctorin' The Tardis 3:38 It was their number one after all! Despite all the moral questions about Glitter, I think the disk would be incomplete without it.
15. It's Grim Up North (part 1) 10:02 A classic dance track, I think it's perfect as the last big song on the album, with the big Jerusalem section, and then the birds etc. segue nicely into the Chill Out ending which follows.
16. Rock Radio Into The Nineties And Beyond 1:26 17. Alone Again With The Dawn Coming Up 0:16 The two of them to end the album, because I think Alone Again is too short on its own, and because the vocal sample in Rock Radio is just too apt...
What do people think of that as a KLF retrospective? It's around 70 minutes, and could be made to fit on a CD with a little bit of trimming. I think this track-list a good mix of the famous classics with a few other interesting but approachable tracks. If an unknowing listener came upon it, it could pique their interest and encourage them to check out the site we'll have set up. www.whatthefuckisgoingon.com or something equally KLF-themed. We could mark each CD or case with a sort of serial number, and I could do up a little web application in PHP or MySQL which would allow people to enter the number of the CD they've found, so we can see where each person's planted CDs actually end up. I await your opinions! And let me know if you guys want that site, for managing this, for the tracklist etc. It would take me relatively little time, and might make this a lot easier. I wanna see this done, and I wanna see it done right.

Glad to find another person who likes "Disaster Fund Collection"! On reflection, you're that we probably need more JAMs jams on the album, preferably from 1987, since that is the release we are celebrating. Of the tracks that you mention, I think "Next" is maybe slightly more "approachable" than Rockman Rock. If "Fuck The Millennium" were to be removed, both "Next" and "Downtown" could probably be added, so I've gone with that for the track-list. I don't think Disco 2000 should go on, they're not as important as the other songs when we're pressed for time on a CD, and personally I think they might be a bit cheesy today. But if one of their songs were to go on, I think it ought to be I Gotta CD, which I always considered their best. Since my email program appeared to chew up my last carefully-prepared tracklist, I've decided the updated one online: http://klf.johnl.org/tracklist.html Let me know what you all think, John On 18 Jan 2007, at 09:02, Our Webstuff wrote:
