I remember there was a documentary on Channel 4 in the UK at the beginning of 1998 called "The Falconer", about 1960s US filmmaker Peter Whitehead, which featured brief snippets of "Fuck the Millenium" on the soundtrack. The film was very strange, quite similar in places to "Waiting" (at least visually) and also to the Chris Morris comedy show "Jam" (if anyone saw that). Around the same time, a friend of mine saw a movie in Edinburgh that was (I think) connected with comic book artist Alan Moore. This film featured a longer, radical remix of "The Magnificent". I should have more info soon, in the meantime, use this link http://www.pardo.ch/1998/filmprg/f435.html to find our more info on Whitehead and "The Falconer". John Not Scots, Just Scott-ish

There is also an Alan Moore connection via Iain Sincliar - he did some of the artwork for Sinclair's book "London Orbital". Dave Clark wrote:

Duh.....I take that back it was Dave McKeen that did the cover, and the plates for London Orbital, not Alan Moore..... ***** There is also an Alan Moore connection via Iain Sincliar - he did some of the artwork for Sinclair's book "London Orbital". Dave Clark wrote:

I think you might be thinking of 'The Cardinal and the Copse', the same bunch's (Sinclair, Petit, McKean, Matthews, & the same producer I think offhand) earlier film. That has Moore in it, being spooky. No KLF connection in that film or the later one, Asylum, though. Mind you I don't remember one in The Falconer either! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Earnshaw" <Craig.Earnshaw@TheEntrepreneur.Com> To: <klf@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 12:44 PM Subject: Re: [KLF] Re: KLF 10th anniversary track
