Waiting (KLF Film)
The KLF released three long form videos during their career - ''Waiting'', ''The Rites of Mu'', and ''The Stadium House Trilogy''. They also worked on an ambitious road movie - ''The White Room'' - which was never released (although bootleg copies are in circulation). The soundtrack of ''The White Room'' was remodelled and reworked in 1991 to create the album ''The White Room (KLF album), The White Room'', and the soundtracks to ''Waiting'' and ''The Rites of Mu'' were released on a 1997 CD (presumed to be a bootleg) called ''Waiting for the Rights of Mu''. Some footage from The White Room was used in the 1989 music video for ''Kylie Said To Jason'' and the 1991 music videos for ''3 a.m. Eternal'' and ''Justified & Ancient''. The films ''The White Room'' and ''Waiting'' were produced by Bill Butt.

The KLF
The KLF (also known as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, the JAMs, the Timelords and other names) are a British electronic band formed in London in 1987. Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) began by releasing hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as the JAMs. As the Timelords, they recorded the British number-one single "Doctorin' the Tardis", and documented the process of making a hit record in a book '' The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way)''. As the KLF, Drummond and Cauty pioneered stadium house (rave music with a pop-rock production and sampled crowd noise) and, with their 1990 LP ''Chill Out'', the ambient house genre. The KLF released a series of international hits on their own KLF Communications record label and became the biggest selling singles act in the world in 1991. From the outset, the KLF adopted the philosophy espoused by esoteric novels ''The Illuminatus! Trilogy'', making anarchic situationist manifestatio ...

The White Room (KLF Album)
''The White Room'' is the fourth and final studio album by British electronic music group The KLF, released on 3 March 1991. The album features versions of the band's hit singles, including "What Time Is Love?", "3 a.m. Eternal", and " Last Train to Trancentral". Originally scheduled for 1989 as the soundtrack to a film of the same name, the album's direction was changed after both the film and the original soundtrack LP were cancelled. Most tracks on the original album version are present in the final 1991 release, though in significantly remixed form. ''The White Room'' was supposed to be followed by a darker, harder complementary album '' The Black Room'', but that plan was abandoned when the KLF retired in 1992. On 23 April 2021, a re-edited version of the album was officially released on streaming platforms, in a series of digital reissues, as ''The White Room (Director's Cut)'', featuring new edits of original tracks from 1989–1990 sessions.

Kylie Said To Jason
"Kylie Said to Jason" was a 1989 single by The KLF, referring to Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, then stars in the popular Australian TV soap opera ''Neighbours''. Designed for chart success, the single nonetheless failed to enter the UK top 100. Background In 1989, The KLF — Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty — embarked upon the creation of a road movie and soundtrack album, both titled ''The White Room'', funded by the profits from their number one hit single, "Doctorin' the Tardis". The film project was fraught with difficulties and setbacks, including dwindling funds. Ultimately, neither the film nor its soundtrack would be formally released, but one track from the aborted album, "Kylie Said to Jason", saw commercial release. "Kylie Said to Jason" was intended to be a top 10 record which The KLF were hoping could "rescue them from the jaws of bankruptcy". Instead, it flopped commercially, failing even to make the UK top 100 and forcing the entire film and soundtrack project t ...

Justified & Ancient
"Justified & Ancient" is a song by British band The KLF. It was featured on their 1991 album, ''The White Room'', but its origins date back to the duo's debut album, ''1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?)''. The song is best known for its remake that was released on 25 November 1991 as a pop-house single subtitled "Stand by The JAMs", with verses featuring the vocals of American country music singer Tammy Wynette. This version was an international hit, reaching number two on both the UK Singles Chart, and the US dance chart, number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and hitting number one in 18 countries. "Justified & Ancient (Stand by the JAMs)" was the final release by the KLF through retail channels before Drummond and Cauty quit the music business and retired the KLF name. Background The KLF—King Boy D (Bill Drummond) and Rockman Rock (Jimmy Cauty)—began working together in 1987 as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The JAMs). The song title "Justified ...

Watch The K Foundation Burn A Million Quid
A watch is a portable timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person. It is designed to keep a consistent movement despite the motions caused by the person's activities. A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet, including metal bands, leather straps or any other kind of bracelet. A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket, often attached to a chain. Watches were developed in the 17th century from spring-powered clocks, which appeared as early as the 14th century. During most of its history the watch was a mechanical device, driven by clockwork, powered by winding a mainspring, and keeping time with an oscillating balance wheel. These are called ''mechanical watches''. In the 1960s the electronic ''quartz watch'' was invented, which was powered by a battery and kept time with a vibrating quartz crystal. By the 1980s the quartz watch had taken over most of the market from the mechanic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
