Didn't one of the KLF guys give away most of his money or something like that?

They wrote a great , a book how to create hits , German dance band scooter uses it, they still produce hits
I believe they actually proved it worked by releasing a single without the KLF name attached. Doctoring the Tardis, I think?

They may or may not have burnt millions of it.

"Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!"
I still have The White Room on cd and a bunch of the 12" vinyls.
They were true rebels/anarchists. The last song performed under the KLF name was this epic show:
"KLF has left the music the music business."
Not that mainstream to me.
They did appear one more time as 2K in 1997 with the song/performance F*** The Millenium.

Classic.
I also love the Slusnik Luna remix that takes the best parts and makes a modern trance tune out of them.

For those curious about the money burning. This is from Wiki:
K Foundation Burn a Million Quid[n 1] was a work of performance art executed and filmed on 23 August 1994 in which the K Foundation, an art duo consisting of Bill Drummondand Jimmy Cauty, burned £1 million (equivalent to £2.1 million in 2021) in the back of a disused boathouse on the Ardfin Estate on the Scottish island of Jura. The money represented the bulk of the K Foundation's funds that had been previously earned by Drummond and Cauty as the KLF.
I went through a KLF phase back in the day. Still find myself singing some of their songs occasionally.
Also, They got Tammy Wynette lol.

This is a nice remix by Tokyo Tower.
It was available on Spotify before but now it's gone.

That song goes way too hard for me to be listening to before bed like I just did.
I'd never even heard of these guys. With that song and the money-burning, they sound freaking nuts. I wonder what kind of music they'd be making if they had grown up a couple decades later.

I like how KLF were always about being as loud and cheesy as possible from the start. Basic as fugg house music with a random rap section or guest singer and stadium rock pretensions. They paved the way for a lot of acts like Gorrilaz. But they seemed to really hate how popular they were for it and were always mixing up genres with trance, ambient, and so on.
Sigue Sigue Sputnik were even more over the top though.

IIRC at least one of them genuinely also loves country music (hence the use of a lot of steel guitar on their ambient album) and genuinely was a fan of Tammy Wynette. A lot of people thought it was a big joke (which in a sense, it was) but they genuinely loved her and were honored she obliged them.
