I once had a conversation with Cauty at a petrol station in Hove whilst we were both filling up. I was also at Reading 90, I think it was, when the police tried, in vain, to shut down the raves playing The White Room late into the night, when Thames Valley plod sent in the horses it erupted into a ferocious riot and the filth were sent packing, the music played on. Happy days. Anyone who can pull this off with Tammy Wynette is genius 8 days a week for me.

I used to use their Chill Out album as a come down / proper relaxer
Not mad keen on lots of their stuff but they were to be admired I never agreed with the burning of a million quid.....some people called it art, others have since out done them easily on that front. There's a well known art collaboration called CandleFace, Hughesless & Bungle who've recently burnt £250 million. Now THAT is art
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Loved the KLF, The White Room album was immense. Oddly I also had the "America What Time Is Love" single featuring none other then a fat looking Glenn Hughes during his cocaine substitute Mars Bar addiction. If you check the video he is wildly top heavy. Hughes and the KLF - an odder match up you'd struggle to find.

If the tvvats make a million by getting back together I bet they dont burn it this time
The burning always seemed to me a daft stunt and a mad waste. Think they will be into the tens of millions after this. Cauty, I think, has done very well out of his paintings on Iraq and WMD.

Not to me it's not, I find it obscene, albeit probably a hoax, but each to their own. As long as they don't start banging on about how the government or I/We should be doing more to help the homeless, or disabled, or refugees, etc. at anytime after torching that sort of money.....IMO !
Musically, they were of their time and probably should leave their legacy as it was. It's rare for any act to 'go again' 20 years on whilst maintaining standards and integrity.

It's great news. Tom Dunne was on Irish radio saying that the only UK artists to sell more than 100k albums was your man Bradley who hosts the game show the Chase. UK music needs a shot in the arm was his point

It does, but I'd prefer it to come from da' Youff. It's the natural way.
Sadly X Factor (& it's like) has much to answer for. We need another movement, preferably something original.

As soon as I saw the thread title I thought of you, LB.
I always associate KLF with you. It was you who first told me about the million quid stunt. I always thought it could have been a hoax, or maybe hoped it was.

Think I probably had their Chill Out album on the Sony Walkman at the back of the lectures with Mike Penton or the Mexican M&E Services geezer that used to teach us!
I think Rowan Vine also tried to emulate the burning money stunt some years later in Vegas.
Chill..............

Haven't read the article yet but loved KLF and would be pleased to hear them again! The burning of the money was stupid imho but in the grand scheme of things they burnt £1m and got many more £m's in advertising and sales. Spend (burn) a mill' and end up with more (probably).
Music is in a funk though, it's not a good state right now. YouTube, Spotify, the internet in general, has done a lot to kill it. People want instantly gratification now, songs better start with a killer hook or chorus or people will skip onto the next track. Artists, producers and publishes know this, and the more of this shît churned out the more data to analyse and eventually it will be music by numbers.

<clap> <clap> <clap> Excellent points re; the "datafication" of music, and how it is morphing into this homogenised mess of instant hook gratification. Evolution by algorithm. DREADFUL. NOT IN MY NAME.
