Re: [KLF] KLF imports and remixes
I think that's true. I'm sure the "So Hard"/"It Must Be Obvious" remixes were part of the dark, IGUN side of Bill and Jimmy - possibly ever a try out for some ideas that were planned for "The Black Room" or the later video/movie soundtracks ('Waiting', 'Rites of Mu' etc). The "Policy of Truth" remix seems more like an attempt to prove they can remix with a "pop sheen" - possibly with an eye on other bands asking for a remix (again, I have vague memories of Primal Scream working to work with the KLF - they did, after all, work with the Orb). Also, iirc, the Trancentral Mix of "Policy" only features on the remix CD single - the remix 12" actually features the wrong mix. Is this right? Plus, working with Depeche Mode meant that the KLF were connected to Mute. Didn't Bill say in "45" that if the KLF hadn't had their own label, he would have been more than happen for them to be on Mute (he was, after all, an old friend of label both Daniel Miller)? And of course, the 2K single came out on Mute (via Blast First). John

not sure if this indicates a special taste for mode.... when I got round listening to it I found the excitement seeing KLF mentioned on the sleeve was bigger than the actual listening. So the effort they made in remixing PSB was way bigger imho.

i think that bill and jimmy might have been into DM more than PSB, because their DM remix is a lot closer to the original than the PSB remix(es).

other way around, actually - it's labelled as being on the US CD single, but that's actually pavlov's dub. the KLF mix is only on the UK limited 12" and CD.

i believe it. mute is definitely one of the more critically astute labels out there. more connections: mark stent (remixed erasure, then worked with KLF, then worked with depeche mode) katie kissoon sang backup for PSB about the same time she was on some white room tracks --- micah stupak micah@benthic.cc oblique strategy: mechanicalise something idiosyncratic
