The KLF has made another comeback. This is their first since
their last reunion which happened in 2017, twenty-three years (of course) after
their shutdown, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/01/klf-reunion.html.
Colin Woolford is as delighted as I am, being as much of a fan. He and I have spent
the last two days sharing the newly remastered videos on the duo's new official
YouTube channel, see: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbsEHtpoQxyWVibIPerXhug.
The tracks are also available on the usual platforms, almost thirty years after
The KLF's entire catalogue was suddenly and totally unexpectedly withdrawn.

Sadly, not all the band's multitude of collaborators are here to witness the
latest revival. The charismatic rap vocalist from the Stadium House Trilogy singles, Ricardo da Force, passed away at a
young age in 2013. In their final period, Drummond and Cauty had a considerable
R and B influence and added some top artists to its team. The American country
singer Tammy Wynette left this world in 1998. She sang the verses in the band's
most famous track, Justified and Ancient.
In true Discordian fashion, the rebirth of The KLF was announced by some graffiti
on a wall in London . Cauty and
Drummond's musical career was inspired by my favourite novel The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea
and Robert Anton Wilson. The book was adapted into a famous stage play by Ken
Campbell in 1976 and one of the production designers was Bill Drummond, Cauty
and Drummond have reinvented themselves numerous times. With almost every new
phase of material they would adopt a different name and image; however, The KLF
is by far the most enduring form they have presented themselves in and I expect
they will stick to it now. It is wonderful that 2021 has begun with such a positive
occurrence. It must surely bode well for the next twelve months.
