The KLF

#1 Post by Cdrodkey »

Can anyone tell me where is the best place to find the KLF remix of So Hard?


P.S. Does anyone know what song is sampled in the KLF/Timemords' "Porposie Song?"

Thank you!!

It's not really a sample, more them borrowing the beat from Billie Jean. But if you mean the middle part, with the slow guitars, then I don't know.

what a great time to be a fan, we were spoiled without knowing it back then. The quality of singles, the b sides, the artwork...... for me that was a great time to be a fan, :D

Ah...the mighty "K" "L" "F"....
I'd love to hear Neil n Chris cover "When Kylie Said To Jason"
It was originally the KLF doing the pet shop boys, which it why it sounds like left to my own devices. 19 years later, the PSB's could do the KLF doing the PSBs. This is all getting very confusing

I often do that, except with Scotch.
I've reauthored Pop Art to include Flamboyant, Miracles, I'm With Stupid, Minimal and Numb. Plus those 3 live clips from A Life In Pop. Its great.

Thanks. I'm slowly getting reeducated on the KLF, and I have a kind of academic interest in sampling and sound recycling. What was said earlier about the PSBs doing the KLF makes total sense to me, I'm not sure how influential PSB was on KLF, but it's really clear to me that the PSBs were inflenced by the KLF--and perhaps this is a good discussion-- but the cover of Where the Streets Have no Name could have been a KLF song, it was stadium techno, no? We All Feel Better in the Dark, Music for Boys, from around that time, too, all sound KLF-y to me. Even stuff a little later, too, like We Came From Outer Space.



The sample, by the way, I am curious of, was the chords behind the slow guitar on Porpoise song. I am absolutely certain that I heard that same sound on this song that I heard at a club in chicago a couple years back--and I heard it once on one of the late-night dance mixes on WKTU in New York City. The words were something like "we get a suggestion/we get a suggestion/set it off" or something like that. I can't seem to figure it out.

A quick google search gave me Strafe - Set It Off, which can be heard on this Amazon link, and it sounds like the song. Wouldn't have thought of that part being a sample!

Believe it. There's a video of the event ('Watch the K Foundation burn a million quid' if memory serves). I haven't seen it yet. Apparantely, about 900K was burnt, the rest went up the chimney and locals spent days collecting singed bank notes. :lol:

Just found this Wikipedia link:
