Did the KLF record this football tune? - rumour reaches us that Bill Drummond of the KLF recorded this tune for the World Cup, and then didn't bother putting it out. Whatever the truth, it's an amusing disco track with a sweet little flash video. found by rob http://www.fcgorgeous.nl/video.html

RE: [KLF] White Room
by James Parker 27 Apr '02

I only recently got a copy of the first White Room recently off a list member and it is interesting how B&J were really targetting the pop market with the more soulful black vocal sound. Not that they weren't going for the pop market with the second version but it is interesting how the impact and change in the market heralded by the advent of rave changed the sound in the time between the two recordings. The actual UK release of White Room had definite post club feel to the tracks and was ideal come down music. THe two are quite different concepts though sharing in much and it is interesting hearing the development of ideas. I particularly liked the insights into 'Go to sleep' by having more of Bills lyrics and his reference to 'mummy' and the idea of it as bedtime story. -----Original Message----- From: Hawx [mailto:hawx@slinkyskunk.co.uk] Sent: 26 April 2002 14:51 To: klf(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [KLF] White Room Video Original message from: Ulrik Brandt >At 19:15 25-04-02 -0500, you wrote: >>bY THE WAY, I've heard about the "White Room" movie ever sence 1991, when >>the album became popular in the US.

KLF videos
by klf＠gamsworld.com 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

I've been a fan of the KLF since 1991 when they appeared on the U.S. Charts with "3 AM Eternal." Many dedicated, die-hard fans would probably say that I'm not a dedicated fan since I didn't discover them until this time. I have to blame it on my location though. It's not my fault that back then I was in high school and listening to only what I heard on the radio and lived in the United States. I began collecting what I could get my hands on and love all of my KLF CD's and Promo singles. My favorite items to collect and enjoy are music videos. I love how they become so rare and hard to get a hold after years go by. For the first time, last week I finally got my hands on a copy of "what time is love (cornfield version)." It sucks that you have to wait so long to see the original video for one of your favorite songs. A few weeks before this I managed to download the "America, what time is love" video...the one on the boat. Although I prefer to have my music videos on tape at least I was able to watch this video as well. What video came first? Was it the cornfield version or the boat version? In the United States, only the live Woodstock Europa versions were used to promote the white room album. What album were the original promo versions used to promote? Was it for the white room or just a stand-alone single at the time? I have only heard and read about "the white room" movie. I would really love to see this so I know what everyone is talking about. What does it take to get a copy of this and other KLF music videos? I would be happy to trade some music videos with list members or pay them for their time. I really just want to enjoy KLF's early videos. Is there anyone on the list that can help me?

>> That sounds waaay too much like the words from a deluded fan who believes their idol can do no wrong; >> viewing everything through rose-tinted glasses and by no means being objective about the material they >> produce. Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the stuff the KLF have done but after reading Mr D's >> autobiographyish book '45' I am a little more skeptical about why he did the things he did. >Then maybe *you* were the one with the rose-tinted glasses. Oh boy, here we go. I knew I was going to get flamed for that one. Â¬.Â¬ >You think B&J did any of it for the fans, or to invoke ancient magical >beings? Err... >If you do want to follow the long and winding road that the KLF trod, then >you should damn well walk it and not expect a shortcut. The long and winding road of insanity? I respect the KLF for their madcap media-grabbing stuff but there is no way I believe they were totally convicted in their belief for the things they were doing. Drummond mentions in '45' how he had second thoughts about a lot of the things he did; such as getting Tammy Wynette to sing on 'Justified and Ancient', and plonking a dead cow on an electricity pylon in Thurrock (which, if you didn't know, he didn't do in the end; what a waste of a perfectly good cow, it wasn't even used in the end for his 'art'). Perhaps you're just a little bitter that I found the video (relatively) easily and thus was a little disappointed with what I saw because I didn't feel any particular attachment to it - You on the other hand spent years wondering about the film and when you finally saw it chose to find some kind of meaning to it to justify all that time wanting to see the thing! On the whole though, it was their damn money to do with what they want, and if they wanted to make a road movie then so be it. The film makes for a nice ambient kind of affair, and of course it's nice to see our two heroes riding around in our favourite police car :) >You want something instantly accessible that makes sense? >Go buy a britney album. That statement is so wrong, in so many ways, I won't even begin. ;) >You want something a bit more interesting from someone who's work you >respect and admire, you might have to search long and hard, and then be >left with more questions than answers. Welcome to the trance. I respect and admire the KLF for the quality of their music, the way they made fun of the music industry, the guts to actually go through with deleting their back catalogue, burning a million quid, and all that. All I said was that I found the White Room movie a bit of a letdown and I get all this nonsense thrown at me! I dunno, people today. >Besides, i think Stuart was "seriously only joking" > >> For me to have my own opinion as The White Room being a load of self-indulgent twaddle is perfectly valid. > >Yup, fair enough. >But maybe you saw it out of context, just downloading it and watching it. Maybe I should've lit up a joint. >I bet you didn't even take any drugs. Told ya. ;) >For B&J to make self-indulgent twaddle is perfectly valid too, why >shouldn't they indulge themselves? >The bits I like are the subliminal messages between the frames. The what? Don't get me all paranoid like that :P *snip* >You're missing the point still. >I nearly came in my pants the day I walked into a record store and saw >1987 on the wall, having searched for it for years. Now, I'd never claim >it's great listening (I like it, but wouldn't expect most people I know to >enjoy it) but the act of finding it was something special. Even if I'd >hated it, it was something I'd searched for for YEARS. Yeah, I can understand that... I'd love to get my hands on a copy of 1987 as well. Unfortunately I guess having a lot of the MP3s makes the *necessity* of owning it lower. >Now read this again and decide where i'm being serious ;) Dude. There better *not* be any fscking subliminal messages. ;) Hawx > - Sufi saying
