1, then infamously wrote a how-to guide for others looking to mechanically engineer chart hits. Despised by the serious press, adored by pop audiences, the Timelords hit No. “Doctorin’ the Tardis” audaciously pasted together the Doctor Who theme and the pounding jock-jam beat of Gary Glitter’s “Rock & Roll, Part 2”-with a football chant thrown in for good measure, in case the masses didn’t dig it enough. But the KLF (allegedly short for “Kopyright Liberation Front”) quickly achieved crossover success as the Timelords, with an unabashed, unapologetic novelty.

Though music streaming might seem antithetical to the KLF’s anti-establishment mentality, the Solid State Logik compilation serves as a pyramid of its own, a step at preserving their paradigm-shifting experiments for the future.ĭrummond and Cauty began gaining notoriety in 1987 with a series of releases as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu: bootleg hip-house records featuring Scottish-accented shout-raps atop extended, unauthorized interpolations of songs by ABBA, the MC5, and Whitney Houston, among others.
For £99, you can purchase a custom-fired brick, which contains a slot for you to insert 23 grams of your ashes upon death post-mortem, your brick will be joined together forever with other justified, ancient, and hopeful KLF fans in a “People’s Pyramid,” a bizarre but bittersweet literalization of how deeply music can shape one’s personal identity and relationships. But this wasn’t some Glastonbury cash-in reunion set the K Foundation returned as a literal undertaking business, selling a “ MuMufication” package to their devotees.
Drummond and Cauty have poked their heads out at various points over the years, most recently in 2017, to pay some kind of respect to the 23rd anniversary of their infamous ritual burning of a million pounds. This year opened, entirely unexpectedly, with the quiet release of Solid State Logik 1, a compilation of the KLF’s most heavyweight jams-an unexpected move from the group that fired blanks into the crowd at the 1992 BRIT Awards and then deleted their catalog.
