That Steve Hoffman forum link is gold, thanks for bringing that back to the front.

I had that warehouse raves album on tape when it came out. Pretty thrilling material for a 14 year old

I think a bunch of the "Pure Trance" originals are on the cd singles, but I'm sure that Hoffman link has the details.

I've always been a huge fan of The Moody Boys vs KLF mix of "What Time is Love"

That 12" was the only time the Mac-less Echo and the Bunnymen made the charts

So, when's the next episode?
Clearly not weekly, so perhaps monthly?

Fantastic thread:
It’s thirty years since The KLF’s 3am Eternal hit Number One so I suppose it must also be about thirty years since 13-year-old me met The KLF at Top Of The Pops. pic.twitter.com/qoNmBJWBNs— Peter Robinson (@Popjustice) January 28, 2021

Too many KLFs!

Thank you.

New stuff coming at midnight apparently!
― Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 3 February 2021 23:16 (three years ago) link
Hope it's a new ambient album, but i'm expecting it's just Chill Out with the samples.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 3 February 2021 23:34 (three years ago) link
i thought Logik 2 makes sense but we'll see!

Acker Bilk seems to have gone. Elvis has left the album.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 4 February 2021 00:26 (three years ago) link
It's a Chill Out remix, but it sounds great! Exactly what I wanted.
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Thursday, 4 February 2021 02:24 (three years ago) link
(the last third of it is markedly different from Chill Out)
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Thursday, 4 February 2021 02:39 (three years ago) link
it is indeed. i never thought i would enjoy listening to it again so much.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 4 February 2021 02:47 (three years ago) link
lol havent got there yet but sounding perfect on track 6
― nxd, Thursday, 4 February 2021 02:48 (three years ago) link
so happy
oh them last train synths melt my heart every time

I make myself annoyed by these fuckers recycling the same stuff over and over again but they disappoint me again by doing this stuff over and over ag..... oh fuck, this is great... OMFG
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Thursday, 4 February 2021 03:01 (three years ago) link
they could just release a CD of Madrugada Eterna repeated ten times and that'd be fine
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Thursday, 4 February 2021 03:19 (three years ago) link
ditto
― nxd, Thursday, 4 February 2021 03:21 (three years ago) link
Well, it’s got sheep sounds, train sounds, Tuvan throat-singing, and I’m only into track 3. I’m for it!

This is terrific, shame to lose Elvis and Acker, but doesn’t change the overall experience too much. Though it feels a shade darker than before.
― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 4 February 2021 12:36 (three years ago) link
Just gave this a listen through decent cans and a cranked Subpac (chair subwoofer thing) and can confirm it is an awesome fully immersive experience and you should all do the same asap. Great rework, nice to hear this stuff in pristine digital quality rather than a tape of a tape of a crackly old 12" :)

the Wax Trax CD remained in print past the 1990s tbf
― shivers me timber (sic), Thursday, 4 February 2021 20:19 (three years ago) link
the CD actually sounds really good, I mainly listened to it in the car back in the day (sometimes driving along parts of the route described in the track listing) so I didn't know how well it was mixed!
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Thursday, 4 February 2021 20:37 (three years ago) link
(I had the cassette version from Wax Trax during the 90s, but bought the CD at some point later)

'Come Down Dawn' looks VERY promising.

It is. :)
― stirmonster, Friday, 5 February 2021 17:20 (three years ago) link
I wish they'd just reissue their catalog on vinyl. This streaming release situation where the samples are removed is antithetical to their operating principals, although offering your music on streaming without having it available to purchase in physical formats is essentially the same as burning money, so perhaps they are still operating accordingly.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 5 February 2021 17:39 (three years ago) link
maybe they'll press up a couple thousand on vinyl and then take them to Jura
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 18:09 (three years ago) link
I put Come Down Dawn on repeat at low volume while I slept the past couple nights, it's amazing to wake up for a minute or two in the middle of the night and see where it's at
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 18:11 (three years ago) link
I wish they'd start to release these on Bandcamp.
― jvc, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:20 (three years ago) link
looks like i accidentally just posted 'come back fat as a rat' on the highest grossing actors of all time votebut i guess it works there
― nxd, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:26 (three years ago) link
I don't like buying bootleg vinyl but I'll make an exception for The KLF because it's so incredibly expensive and unlikely to ever get repressed
That said I've upgraded the chances from 0% to like...2% now
― frogbs, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:29 (three years ago) link
I guess Bill and Jimmy don't need any money, which is good for them, I suppose.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:34 (three years ago) link
If there is a De La Soul sampling situation with Chill Out then could they then reissue the original album on vinyl if they wanted to?
― PaulTMA, Friday, 5 February 2021 19:33 (three years ago) link
what
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:01 (three years ago) link
De La Soul can't re-release their back catalog digitally because the sample clearances don't cover downloads or streaming, only various physical formats.
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:17 (three years ago) link
― jvc,
exactly.they would be able to burn another million if they did this.
― mark e, Friday, 5 February 2021 20:35 (three years ago) link
The KLF, famously known for having diligently cleared all their samples for physical releases, of course.
