RE: Juke Box Time: The KLF - No More Tears from The White Room (USA Version)
cool tune, which somehow fits with its vibe into the christmas mood. its not my style, but at least I know, that THE ORB is an absolute classic and legend, so if the person involved in THE KLF was also in THE ORB, then it is a good sight.
upvote is obvious :)
This is old-school stuff and maybe my personal "point of view" is a bit tainted from being an early fan in my later childhood...
But with out this group I probably would never have pretended to sleep at a friends house, whilst sneaking out to my first big rave in my early teens, this was in the 90ties...
But I feel like the KLF was a bit like what the Velvet Underground was for punk, but for electronica, trip-hop, ambient and such.
But after they burnt all that money and kind of telling the music industry to "f-off"allegedly by leaving a dead cheep outside that BRIT Awards after-party, I think they lost some cred with the press and such, people didn't see the brilliance in that, and I think they where looked at/portrayed like semi-lunatics.
New generations don't hear so much about them...
But I heard that they released a new book I think it was last year, I would like to read it...
Here you can read the first chapter, seems to have a lot to do with crypto changing the world and five big brands taking over as countries collapse since people stop paying taxes, it's a Sci-Fi novel I guess (or something):

sounds interesting, will check this chapter tonight because I do not have any other plans anyway
Its pretty relevant, I would post it here but Im scared of cheetah and her gang, also Im not sure what policy they have on that chapter if it was a part of a press-release or if it was a part of some private deal they made... =)
