Here is the second disc of my KLF compiliation. The third disc will appear sometime on Tuesday and the fourth Wednesday or Thursday. Sorry if it's a bit slow, but they will be here soon enough with some other goodies too. Anyway, this disc focuses on KLF rarities and album tracks. Enjoy!
The KLF - Deep Shit: This Is What The KLF Were About
NOTE: You MUST download both parts to extract all files.
Disc Two, Part One
Disc Two, Part Two
01 The One World Orchestra - The Magnificent
This is one of the few post-retirement tracks from the KLF. It initially appeared in 1995 on the Help compilation which was a benefit album. It's basically a drum'n'bass version of the theme from the Magnificent Seven.
02 2K - Fuck The Millenium
Reborn in 1997 as 2K, Cauty and Drummond made a single live performance in powered wheel chairs to perform what is essentially a rather long remix of What Time Is Love. At one point there was a phone line opened asking whether the millenium should be fucked or not. Sadly, this was not a huge hit, but how many songs where people repeatedly yell that you should fuck something, and not in a sexual sense, receive such a status?
03 The KLF - Make It Rain
Taken from The White Room, this is a spare and dubby jam. Not much to say, just a good track.
04 The KLF - Last Train To Trancentral (Pure Trance)
This is the original trance version from 1990. Significantly different from the Lost Continent version, the melody was co-opted in Go To Sleep from the original, unreleased version of The White Album. I'll have to post that album here eventually, as it's quite interesting, but if you think any of the tracks posted here sound dated, the unreleased version of The White Room will make you cover your ears in shock.
05 The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu - Rockman Rock (Parts 2 and 3)
King Boy tells us all how tough the Rockman really is. This is from the 1987 album.
06 The KLF - Build A Fire
Taken from The White Room, the theme from Twin Peaks is mentioned as an inspiration quite often. It does bear a striking similarity to that show's memorable theme, and that's in a good way. Simply, a very beautiful track to chill out to.
07 The KLF - 3 A.M. Eternal (Pure Trance)
The original 1989 trance version of this classic. It's a very peaceful track and earns it's version title quite nicely.
08 The KLF - Madrugada Eterna
Taken from Chill Out, this track takes that instruction quite seriously. If you like this, wait till you hear the rest of Chill Out!
09 K Foundation - K Cera Cera (War Is Over If You Want It)
This came out as a one track CD single in 1993 with vocals from the Red Army Choir. Oh yeah, this only came out in Israel. A rather nice mix of Que Cera Cera and John and Yoko's Christmas classic, this is a surprisingly subtle track from people who were anything but.
10 The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu - King Boy's Dream
Once again, King Boy tells us how it is. This is probably the best Scottish rap boast you'll ever hear!
11 The KLF - What Time Is Love? (Pure Trance)
My favorite of the Pure Trance originals, this dates back to 1988. Engaging and ominous, this feels like 2 a.m. eternal. An easy classic!
12 The KLF vs. Extreme Noise Terror - 3 A.M. Eternal
This is probably the one track recorded for the Black Album that was completed. The whole story behind this track is far too long to be told in this post, but I might have to post the Black Album sessions eventually along with that tale. A totally insane, metallic version with screamed lyrics and fucked-up everything, this was released as a fan-club exclusive although later vinyl pressings have been seen. The legitimacy of those later pressings remain uncertain.
13 The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu - The Queen and I
This is the one that sparked the rage of ABBA and is the main reason that all remaining copies of the 1987 album were destroyed. Yes, it's cheesy as hell and rather silly, but this is the kind of stuff people should make more of. Mock the hits and speak your mind!
14 The KLF - The White Room
The end to the second disc, the title cut from The White Room is another slightly dubby, chilled-out dance groove. Like a lot of the album tracks, there isn't necessarily a lot of back-story to tell here, but that doesn't make the track any less enjoyable.
