The KLF: Difference between revisions

Comprising Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, the group achieved their greatest success in the period 1989-92, when they were known as [[The KLF]] and were associated with a style they called Stadium House (basically, [[House Music|Acid House]] with pop/rock production and sampled noises from cheering crowds). However, they also dabbled in other genres, usually [[Electronic Music]] (ambient, various house subgenres, techno, alternative dance), and became infamous for their satirical media stunts. For instance, when they were sued for unlicensed [[Sampling]] by [[ABBA]], they responded by torching copies of ''1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?)'' in a field (a photo of this became the cover of their next album).
