A lot of the tracks seem equal parts drum'n'bass and noisy guitar but I don't think you're listening to a speeded-up Bill Drummond!!And the idea that X$X is trying to make it appear it's the KLF seems to me to be ridiculous..it doesn't sound anything like the KLF and there's been enough documention over the years to show that this kind-of KLF/X$X association is just a small part of the game-plan. THE BUILDING (the old version which is linked to from the xdollarx yahoo site) is about the idea of the multiple names, like Michael K and Luther Blissett and Stewart Home and obviously The KLF have an interconnection with all of that Neoist stuff. Somewhere there's a lot of stuff on 'Michael K' as Drummond and cauty's secret collaborator from the beginning but, again, I think this is just people putting 2 and 3 together to make 23. Having said that, he one thing that's always been a mystery is how X$X used the K Foundation's po box address a year before the K Foundation was announced. I think the main thing is that all of the activists in this kind of area are trying to mess with the usual concepts of truth and authenticity so the real truth is that the devil's in the detail and the detail doesnt matter. It's just the message that matters and in this case, I'm glad it's music since the whole intellectual thing kind of washes over me a bit. Blys Jon Doe wrote: On a first glance the music is really tidy. Some tracks are mixing dance and guitars. A lot of the tracks use a formular of a classic breakbeat with a few extra bits to help it along. Some tracks sound like different mixes of others (is this to increase the amount of clips). On the building, the voice sounds like a pitched up Drummond trying to and almost achieving a non drummond sound! Obviously this works the other way and all things pointing at KLF like the font used, track titles etc could be there to make us think it is KLF. What do Drummond and Cauty say about this? Tim, positive void, can you help here? ___________________________________________________________ BT Yahoo! Broadband - Free modem offer, sign up online today and save £80 http://btyahoo.yahoo.co.uk
