"nah, their music was poppy and not really what was being played in the underground clubs of any repute."
i disagree with that - i think they helped bring the underground overground and that their stuff was a good thing for music. their music was backed with sound effects of huuuuge crowds, they were "stadium dance music", listening to the tracks you got the feeling and rush of huge crowds - like at an outside rave.
without the KLF we wouldnt have had the likes of the prodigy and altern8 etc in the charts and hitting such bigtime.it was jimmy cauty of the KLF and alex paterson from the orb who created CHILL OUT on dat tapes. an ammmazing chillout album and groundbreaking in its own right.
the album "1987 what the fuck is going on" is a cracker too, it never saw the light of day because abba didnt approve samples so the duo burnt all the remaining copies. the klf did a lot to fight the laws that were against musicians who sampled.
they were a band that embraced limited editions and deleted tracks, a record collectors dream! i know a girl whos dad has a 2nd hand record shop. i was at a party at hers and she showed me the shamen and klf vinyl collection she had (knowing i was fans of both). She sold her KLF collection and bought a new car! thats how sought after some of their stuff is!
you CANNOT say their music is of no repute, sorry!
