Take me to the church of the KLF

I’m listening to Come Down Dawn a lot at the moment. It’s a bit of an outlier for me in terms of types of records.

Any recommendations for more in a similar vibe?

The original with all the samples can be listened to on you tube, come back fat as a rat

edit ….

In case for some reason you don’t know ….

Same era (if you can get past track 1)

Similar vibe, slightly harder listen, waaaay more recent

i came  on here to recommend the Chill Out album….but…oh. Every day is a school day

you cant beet laying in the bath with it on

how about william orbit strange cargo 3?

To be fair if you havent already youll end up at Northern Exposure North and South, so you might as well go directly to jail and save some money. Great journey though, although i did it in reverse which was very expensive

My friend got to be in a choir conducted by Jarvis Cocker at a KLF event. I was busy being dressed up as a badger marching down the road. No idea what was going on but it was good fun.

Listening to Come Down Dawn right now. don’t know if I’ve heard it before, certainly not properly listened to it. Thanks!

making me think already of this:

I have Chill Out on CD, love it to bits. Ozric Tentacles might be worth a listen if that’s your bag

If all that gets a bit hectic then Brian Eno music for airports still stands up well

I find all the RP spoken word samples in this kind of stuff a bit overdone myself- I’m looking at you the orb!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_(Jimmy_Cauty_album) is interesting – was going to be the Orb’s debut album before Jimmy and Dr Alex fell out.  You can hear lots of it in Ultraworld.

If it’s the electronica element of it you want to explore this is is a good compilation from that time – gives a few artists to check out.  Not all of it is on Spotify.

If it’s the ambience/found sound then Brian Eno:

Starting in the 70′;s with Discreet Music / Music for Airports and many more through his discography.  More than I know well. I really liked 2016’s The Ship

More conventional songs but a chilled mood – Another Green World is fantastic.

Not quite as ambient –  My life in the bush of ghosts (with David Byrne)  is early ‘found sound’ stuff but not so chilled out. I liked his album with Karl Hyde from Underworld (Someday World 2014) as well.

Sigur Ros  ( )  album is another one I reach for late at night. Mostly much less bombastic that the stuff that gets played on the radio.

(DM if you want a rip of any of those or Chill Out, looks like I was only ripping as VBR mp3’s at the time, and I dumped my CDs bar a very small number – which includes Chill Out)

Biosphere – Microgravity is a good one from the early 90s, a bit more techno/ambient style than KLF and the Orb though.

Also see the more ambient end of Coldcut’s output

This is great –

and there must be so much gold in their Solid Steel Archive (which is all downloadable…).  The original 1991 show with the Orb is not that memorable but the 2013 return is worth a listen
