Juke Box Time: The KLF - No More Tears from The White Room (USA Version)

in #music6 years ago (edited)

KLF mysterious as always, fresh as always, this is "No More Tears from The White Room (USA Version) released back in 1990". A very nice tune for some relaxation.

This group was something different they invented the genre "chill-out music" with the release of the album "Chill Out" in February 1990.

The group was consisting of Bill Drummon & Jimmy Cauty , the group had a very different approach to fame and fortune, and after a very controversial "last" performance on February 1992 BRIT Awards...

They eventually came up with the idea to burn Burn a Million Quid, before disappearing in to the woodwork, well Jimmy Cauty continued as a part of the group The Orb for a while...

They still sometimes show up here and there, real pranksters and men of legend...

And they still have a real cult following... I used to listen to their music a lot growing up, it had a deeper mystical meaning to it, unlike most popular music in the early 90ties, and this really fascinated me...

They also wrote and published the somewhat satirical but still relevant book:
"The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way)"

cool tune, which somehow fits with its vibe into the christmas mood. its not my style, but at least I know, that THE ORB is an absolute classic and legend, so if the person involved in THE KLF was also in THE ORB, then it is a good sight.
upvote is obvious :)

This is old-school stuff and maybe my personal "point of view" is a bit tainted from being an early fan in my later childhood...

But with out this group I probably would never have pretended to sleep at a friends house, whilst sneaking out to my first big rave in my early teens, this was in the 90ties...

But I feel like the KLF was a bit like what the Velvet Underground was for punk, but for electronica, trip-hop, ambient and such.

But after they burnt all that money and kind of telling the music industry to "f-off"allegedly by leaving a dead cheep outside that BRIT Awards after-party, I think they lost some cred with the press and such, people didn't see the brilliance in that, and I think they where looked at/portrayed like semi-lunatics.

New generations don't hear so much about them...

But I heard that they released a new book I think it was last year, I would like to read it...

Here you can read the first chapter, seems to have a lot to do with crypto changing the world and five big brands taking over as countries collapse since people stop paying taxes, it's a Sci-Fi novel I guess (or something):

Cheers and thank you @cubapl!

sounds interesting, will check this chapter tonight because I do not have any other plans anyway

Its pretty relevant, I would post it here but Im scared of cheetah and her gang, also Im not sure what policy they have on that chapter if it was a part of a press-release or if it was a part of some private deal they made... =)

Hey Sir thank you for your kindness, that mid-winter gift I will appreciate with all my heart.
God Bless you @friendly-fenix

God bless YOU my steemit-friend @cryptopie!!! 😇
You're a cool person, Im glad i got a chance to chat with you.

Love the KLF - Still waiting to see if they're really back or just farting around (I suspect the latter).

@hockney
Not sure we will see a full on comeback, Bill Drummond did a international tour of a choir called The17 some years ago it was an interesting project.

I have also seen weird stuff on youtube that looks new, but Im not sure if the original KLF is involved or if it's just like die hard fans having cult-meetings/performance acts...

I know they did a book signing recently...

Nice to see that they are still doing things... A concert/tour would be cool...

I would go for sure... 😇

Cheers!

It was only 1 steem, he he, but imagine if that steem becomes worth like one million in the future, then it would be really cool...😃
/FF
