The KLF

The KLF were one of the seminal bands of the British acid house movement during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

In 1987, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty released hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, and on one occasion as The Timelords. As The KLF, Drummond and Cauty pioneered the house music genres. The group released a series of international songs on their own KLF Communications record label.

They gainied notoriety for various anarchic situationist manifestations including the defacement of billboard adverts, the posting of prominent cryptic advertisements in NME magazine and the mainstream press, and highly distinctive and unusual performances on Top of the Pops.

In the United Kingdom, Drummond and Cauty released six albums and a wide array of 12 " singles on KLF Communications. In other territories their material was typically issued under licence by local labels.

Their million-selling "Doctorin' the Tardis" was released in May 1988 followed by "Kylie Said to Jason", from The White Room soundtrack. They achieved international chart success with the string of pop-house singles that began with "What Time Is Love? (Live at Trancentral)".
