Hi All I agee KLF5R is excellent,especially for its Blue Danube Mix. But WTIL KLF004Y Virtual Reality Mix is also excellent, but also KLF008X LTT Iron Horse mix just turns me on still. What the hell!Most everything they done was excellent. Each day I change my mind, We are just lucky to be able to appreciate KLF music. Mike --- John Milne <paranormalhandy@googlemail.com> wrote:
Hi everyone,
It's late and I can't sleep, so I thought I'd throw this out to the mailing list: I'm not even sure if it'll get much of a response.
But I was wondering, if you had to recommend one record by the KLF (and by that I mean a physical cassette, tape or CD rather than some compilation of mp3s or whatever) what would it be? Where is the best starting place?
For me, it would be KLF5R, the 3 AM UK Mixes 12". Sadly, it never made it onto CD, but some of these old Pure Trance records are made to be listened to on 12", aren't they? And KLF5R is the closest the KLF came to a proper four-track EP (probably my favourite type of music release) and its four mixes are distinct without being too unpleasant or off-putting to the new listener (plus, they all sound a bit like a famous number 1 hit single from two years later, which probably helps). The Orbital mix hints at "Chill Out" (which of course is also mentioned on the inner label); the Moody Boys mix points towards later dub experiments; the radio edit points towards more commercial ventures, and "3 PM Electro" takes the KLF off in a direction they never really followed after this release (and what would the KLF be without aborted projects?)
So - KLF5R, the best KLF record ever. What do people think?
(PS - Fucking hell, in "The 17" Bill mentions watching the video of "The Manager's Speech" I upped to Youtube back in late 2006 ... I am hyperventilating with excitement!)
