Mu Mu



I've got the lurgey, so what better thing to do you do when you feel rubbish then watch obscure KLF videos on youtube? The KLF were one of the greatest bands of all time, making ridiculously unashamed pop music that managed to combine hype, spectacle, art and some pretty damn fine songs. As an semi-obsessed collector of all things KLF related, the other day I downloaded an unreleased album called Waiting For The Rites Of Mu. It consists of 2 tracks, Waiting and For The Rites Of Mu, both soundtracks to short films made by the KLF, and never released, like so much of their recorded material. Here is the movie of Rites Of Mu:



and here is the audio track:

KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) - The Rites Of Mu (download in a new window)

The audio is the better one, a half an hour long ambient film noir road movie soundtrack, with a Japanese childrens choir, and religious and Indian elements. It's a deranged piece of genius.

As such a big fan of all things KLF, I trust you'll be keeping to Bill Drummond's No Music Day tomorrow (Nov 21st)?

I actually think it would be a good idea for me to observe the no music day. It would be kind of purifying. Not yesterday though, I'd just downloaded the new Gwen Stefani record.
