Something interesting I saw on KLF 005R
by Mark Howk 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

So I've been on discogs lately, looking for cheap copies of anything KLF related. So I was looking at KLF 005R (the 3 AM Eternal UK Mixes lp) when I saw that the Other Data section noted that the Blue Danube Orbital mix was going to be from JAMS LP5, which became "Chill Out". At the time of 005R's release, it was called "Live At Trancentral". So was Chill Out supposed to be an Orb album, but released as a KLF album, seeing as the Blue Danube Orbital mix is by The Orb? We can also draw that the remix is an early version/take of 3 A.M. Somewhere Out of Beaumont. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to notice this. http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=53289

Sharing Day 4: JAMs LP2
by Dan Hutchins 30 Aug '11

Busy today, de-algaed the deck and power-washed, worked-out, had a few appointments, then managed to put this together in a spare hour and a half much to the wife's chagrin: JAMs LP 2 modified: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/KWfBCwx/JAMs_LP2_modified.zip.html : Meant for iPod and CD-R. Amplification and light compression, dead space removad, but no clipping or click/pop removal...far from it, I could have compressed the hell out of this and it would have sounded great but trying to make it modern while respecting tradition. There's always the volume knob. Might try a more compressed version on request. JAMs LP 2 unaltered: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/EJC7VCHh/JAMs_LP2_unaltered.zip.html just raw rips of side 1 and side 2 as unaltered tracks. Working on one or more copies of 1987 for this week. Have a rip of the original but need to compare with the late 90s boot as this may also be unofficially official. Probably can't clean this up for digital as it's just too random. Will see what happens.. I am currently using an ARTcessoires v2 USB Powerplus Preamp which works at 16/bit44.100khz but would love to upgrade to a 24 bit/96,000 khz phono preamp for the forthcoming archive. Must be USB and phono compatible but fiberoptic output would be nice as well. Decent ones seem to go for $400 plus. M-Audio used to sell a good one for much less but has seemingly discontinued it. Creative sells a shitty one for $250. Any mid-cost solutions that will ship to the US...preferably with metal construction. Terratech has one but it seems Euro only Suggestions encouraged...wan to up the gsme Dan

Re: [KLF] Sharing the Love : The Black Room ?
by Dj Hombre _ 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi all, Firstly many thanks Dan (and the others) who have started sharing their rarities, a pleasant revival of the list! Secondly, I did a bit of rummaging around in our CD cupboard last night and uncovered a handwritten cd entitled 'The Black Room'...I think I may have lent this to Andrew (Lee?) on the list some time ago but my memory is shot to bits nowadays. I'm not even sure where I got the cd from, although I have a feeling it may have been advertised (possibly by a member of Extreme Noise Terror?) once many, many years ago in the back of the NME in the classifieds section for a tenner. Most likely not legit, but the track listing looks correct-ish and it sounds more ENT like than techno inspired. Not sure who would be able to verify these, to me they sound like work in progress, all instrumentals (except 3am) - but I've only listened once or twice...really not my usual cup of tea to be fair. I think it's the same recording as mentioned here; http://www.klf.de/home/?p=22529 Anyway, I've ripped it straight from the original CD-R to FLAC and haven't mucked about with normalising/EQ anything else...I'm guessing there are better people on the list who could do this with more finesse than I could. Here it is (all 837Mb of it!); https://rapidshare.com/files/665015303/The_Black_Room.rar?bin=1 Cheerio DJ Hombre (back to lurking again)...

Hi John, I remember the Deep Hear series but don't remember the Moody Boy's WTIL cropping up on there. Do you have said 2CD set (or anyone else on here for that matter) - I would be interested to hear this edit. Cheers, Morphy > > Cheers for these. There's an edit of the "Moody Boys" WTIL remix on the 2CD > set "Deep Heat 8", iirc - but other than that, yes, it only appeared on CD > on the Liberation/Wicker Man edition.

Help with vinyl rips
by Morphy 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Just a thought, I have my own studio where I work as a sound designer. Although I personally prefer vinyl rips to be left "as is" I will be glad to help with any crackle / noise removal of any rips that are done. Morphy

While I prefer FLAC myself, I am open to any audio format, as long as it supports *lossless* encoding. I would recommend to use 16 bit/44kHz lossless for CD Rips and 24 bit/96kHz for Vinyl Rips. CD Rips should be exact (e.g. using Exact Audio Copy) and without further editing. Regarding Vinyl Rips, there is enough room for religious debates :-D (pop/hiss elimination, noise reduction, eq, ...) - I think that "less is more" here. BTW - I don't have a decent record player at the moment so I cannot provide any vinyl rips. But I'm just ripping my CD collection and will post some links to some more rare / bootleg stuff soon. Another thing Mark pointed out is whether there would be some kind of central coordination for this project (and maybe one central FTP server), or if we just want to continue posting links here so that everybody can compile his/her own "ultimate high-quality Arkive"? Best regards Bert
