3 stars out of 4
The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu aka The KLF aka Rockman Rock and Kingboy
D in one of their many aliases... this is a sort of anniversary
release: ten years after their seminal '1987', Bill Drummond and Jimmy
Cauty indulge in self-celebration, and recycle their universally known
rave anthem 'What time is love?' for the nth time. Oh well, so maybe
it's *not* really essential as the 1988 or 1991 versions of the same
track... but it's definitely not the ordinary kind of remix track...!
Track two isn't even 2K: this is Acid Brass aka the Williams Fairey Band
(a brass band!) performing rave hits under the direction of Jeremy Deller
(an Acid Brass album also appeared on Blast First/Mute, and as explained
in the liner notes, the 2K project evolved directly from Deller's idea).
Mark Manning (Drummond's pal also known as Zodiac Mindwarp or simply Z)
is also featured, and so is another usual KLF partner, Gimpo. Various
bits of old JAMS albums resurface at some point in the mix, renewed for
the next millennium... Hey! Did I say 'millennium'!?!? Just ***k the
millennium!!!
