True point, but then why are they counting on said fans at events like this? Getting a fanbase on notoriety (money burning, Brits, not doing anything for years) is far worse than wining them over by releasing hit singles. If they were as free thinkers as they project themselves, they wouldn't have worried about being succesful over 30. If they preferred the hard way (doing dark / experimental songs about death and decay) they could have learned from Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker or Bowie whose last record was a perfect goodbye to his fans (even though I prefer his happier records). Or they could have been moved to doing soundtracks like Clint Mansell or Reznor did. They had the equipment and that golden touch too back then. ________________________________ From: KLF <klf-bounces@mailman.xmission.com> on behalf of jai nelson <illitrate@mac.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 6:13 PM To: All bound for Mu-Mu Land.

If they'd really care about their fans
But they don't, do they? They haven't since at least the Stadium House days. If the did they wouldn't have deleted the back catalogue in the first place. They'd have released some incarnation of The Black Room. Fans are just another part of music industry system that they spent their music career rebelling against. We're a constant reminder that the experiment that was The JAMs failed when it became The KLF and found global success. _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf KLF Info Page - mailman.xmission.com<https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf> mailman.xmission.com The KLF list discusses the work of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, both as a creative team (The KLF, The JAMS, The Timelords, K Foundation, et al.), as participants in ...
