Follow the “Factual Information” link.

 

There you will see a currently inactive link to an Advanced Acoustic Armaments site that is “coming soon”.

 

Jimmy was working on this site back in March when Gimpo and I took him some old Super8 film footage.

 

Advanced Acoustic Armaments have a long history.

 

My earliest recollections of the AAA stretch way back to tanks and a “dead cow” story when Jimmy lived in Devon.

 

There was also another story (of dubious factual content) told by Stewart Home about being kidnapped by the AAA and shown a vast arsenal of weaponry quarter-mastered on Jimmy’s farm and how after publishing the story Jimmy received a visit from the “authorities”.

 

When Jimmy performed the live remix of a Black Star Liner track on a bleak mist covered Dartmoor the reports mentioned the tanks without reference to the AAA yet anyone who has listened to the track with its distortion and loud electronic / industrial noise-scape will quickly recognise the AAA influence.

 

Other notable appearances / performances of the AAA include “This Brick” shown at the Barbican event in 1997 and the tanks made several appearances at various protests like the Reading Bye-pass camp and a “Reclaim the streets” event in London.

 

Experimental sound-scapes are ever-present in Jimmy’s artwork… just think of Chill Out, Waiting and This is NOT what the KLF is about (on the Stadium House video) but more tantalizingly there is at least one as yet unreleased piece that is specifically attributed to the AAA and that is an experimental album called Squawk.

 

It was originally given a catalogue number and was to be released on Mute Records.

 

I have no idea if the new site will open up a branch of new material or just expose the roots a little but I am just delighted that unlike the KLF, K-Foundation or CNPD this part of the tree has not been cut off and burnt.

 

Keep looking forward.

 

Love peace and happiness.

 

Tim

James (as he is now known) has a new official site.

 

 

It's overseen by l-13.org.

 

Nothing to buy & not much to see but it's news.
