THE KLF BIOGRAPHY AS OF 20TH JULY 1991
THE KLF BIOGRAPHY AS OF 20TH JULY 1991
T
The KLF is the creative partnership of
Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond. They
started working together in January
1987.
1987
1987
For the duration of 1987 they operated
under the name The Justified Ancients
of Mu Mu (The JAMS). Using the personal
alias Rockman Rock and King Boy d, The
JAMS recorded two LP's, "1987 (What the
fuck is Going On?)" and "Who Killed The
JAMS?" plus several 12" singles. These
were released on their own label, KLF
Communications.
Although primitively recorded, their Rap
Rhyme and Scratch approach to making
music was the first to totally make use
of the cheap new sampling and computer
technology. Their liberal use of other
artists tracks within the construction
of their own music led to the infamous
court case with Abba (Dancing Queen),
the outcome which was all unsold copies
of their debut album had to be destroyed
Second hand copies now changed hands for
vastly inflated prices.
Throughout the year they gained much
media exposure with their illegal but
effective use of graffiti on billboards
and public buildings. This was done in
a way where the original meaning of the
advert would be completely subverted.
1988

Drummond and Cauty decided to have a
Number One. They changed their name to
THE TIMLORDS. recorded "Doctorin' the
Tardis".
Within three weeks of release it was not
only Number One in the national charts,
but the first record to be Number One in
all five applicable charts in Music
Week concurrently. The record was also
a celebration of a very British strand
of pop music. It went on to repeat it's
success around the world.
No Timelords follow-up was attempted.
They then wrote a book "The Manual (How
to have a Number One the easy way)" in
which they revealed the zenarchistic
methods used. The thesis of the book
being - anyone can do it. "The Manual"
has since inspired numerous other chart
hits.
November and December 1988 saw filming
start on their movie "The White Room".
Directed by Bill Butt the project will
not reach completion until some time in
1991.
1989
1989
Now operating exclusively as The KLF,
Drummond and Cauty release "What Time is
Love?" and "3am Eternal". Both tracks
went on to become anthems of the huge
orbital raves, at which The KLF became
a regular live attraction, blasting
their audience with polystyrene pellets
some weeks, showering them with Scottish
pound notes at others.
"What Time is Love?" inspired numerous
cover versions and sound-alikes, the
best of which The KLF collected together
and released on one album entiteld
"The What Time is Love story".
As the rave season drew to a close
(forever?) they coined the phrase
"ambient house" to describe a type of
music they had been working on since the
remix of "Doctorin' the Tardis".
"Ambient house" has since become a
commonly used generic title.
1990
1990
Release "Chill Out", the first ambient
house LP.
In May Drummond and Cauty spent eight
days on the isle of Jura off the West
Coast of Scotland. While there they
filmed and recorded a fourty minute
piece of music entiteld "Waiting". This
will be available on video only.
Their own cover version of "What Time
is Love?" was released on 30th July, and
reached Number 5 in the UK.
The next release was "It's Grim Up
North", a limited edition of only 350
copies pressed on grey vinyl. This
quickly became one of the most collect-
able records around. DJ reaction sheets
reported everthing from an instantly
cleared dancefloor to total mental
mania.
1991
1991
3am Eternal was released at the
beginning of January and reached Number
One within three weeks.
"Last Train to Trancentral" entered the
charts at Number 3, and stayed at Number
Two for three weeks - Cher held Number
One slot.
"The White Room" album was released.
The KLF also spent three days at
Pinewood studios filming Stadium House -
The Trilogy, an epic production
featuring Zulus, angels, sistars and
rain.
To celebrate the summer solstice, The
KLF flew forty jounalists and licensees
to The Lost Continent of Mu, and forced
them to take part in a pagan ritual.
At the time of writing, The KLF have
just heard that 3am Eternal is Number
36 in the American Billboard Chart.
Cauty as recordedand released an album
"Space" under the name Space. Drummond
is working on his second book "Zenarchy-
Case History".
The KLF work from a place known as
Trancentral.
