Tracks/Artists you associate with KLF for wahtever reason
For me there is one clear one that I always associate with the KLF, and it's simply because of the video. It looks as though it was shot in a house/squat a few doors away from Trancentral. Krush - House Arrest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61rFY4VPADE Anyone got any others - no matter how tenuous? If I was to be pushed for another it would be: Princess - Say I'm Your Number One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlLKNxDbsi8 Again because there's a shot in the video taken from a moving car going under London Bridge, reminding me of 3am Eternal. There's always something magical about hearing tracks that predate the KLF by only a short period, if you can allow yourself to be transported back in time, you can feel that this was a time when the KLF was just a brooding idea, and no one (except for two people) had the slightest clue what utterly astonishing brilliance was only just around the corner. Krush is a forgotten classic though - rarely heard these days and certainly worthy of being remembered as a superb, and in many ways, seminal track. Back in the days when cutting edge singles featured the word 'House' left, right and centre - they beat the Timelords to it with this one. Ross

Utah Saints, but I can not say why. Probably it's the usage if samples or something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osJ3jAPUlKk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIcewyGCIDo Raze - Break for Love, as KLF used this in 3AM Break for Love remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqJJeY-cPu0 Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley, used in Rockman Rock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVIrTHqKm5w -- anttil.

I can say why - it's the usage of crowd noise on a 'stadium house' record! The Utahs were the first band that came to mind when this question was posed.

Yes that Krush track is a classic. some of the people involved went on to do many other things in the rave scne - Rob Gordon helped form WARP. rob Brydon went on to do Moloko, Mark Gamble produced classics as part of Rhythmatic and T-Cut-F. And one of the first sleeves from the mighty Designers Republic as well. I always liken Altern8 to the KLF. their anarchic approach bore similarities, and they took the art of sample-based music to the next level. Mark Archer is still out there making music James ------------------- From: jarvmeister@gmail.com To: klf@mailman.xmission.com Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:35:09 +0100 Subject: [KLF] Tracks/Artists you associate with KLF for wahtever reason For me there is one clear one that I always associate with the KLF, and it's simply because of the video.

Hi All, For me, I always associate KLF with Daft Punk: 2 guys in disguise with a pyramid on stage and with samples based music, and have even made a concept movie ('Electroma', I recommend you to watch) ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ItqVgaTIjI I also would like to mention two clips which appear KLF records: Yazz 'The Only Way Is Up' (at 0'08) and BB Brunes' Nico Teen Love "(at 1'57). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtKADQnjQmc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBbsH8TGXt4 Cheers,Stephane
