The KLF (also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelords and other names) were one of the seminal bands of the British acid house movement during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beginning in 1987, Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) released hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, and on one occasion as The Timelords.

  • The KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front oder auch Kings of Low Frequency) war eine in der elektronischen Tanzmusik einflussreiche britische Musikgruppe in den späten 1980ern und frühen 1990ern. Die Bandbreite ihrer Musik reichte von Ambient bis zu House, und sie gelten als Erfinder des Trance, wobei sie vor allem durch die freizügige Verwendung von Samplings aus Musikstücken anderer Künstler bekannt wurden. Im englischen Sprachraum hat sich für die von The KLF geprägte Beimischung von Publikumslärm über House-Produktionen der Begriff Stadium House geprägt.
  • Los KLF (The KLF), era una banda inglesa originaria de Londres, de finales de los 80 y principios de los 90. Hay dos tipos de pioneros. Los primeros tienen el talento, pero también la fortuna, de ser los primeros en tomar en la creación de su arte el rumbo que circunstancialmente otros muchos también acaban tomando. Los segundos son siempre conscientes de su condición. Suelen crear y utilizar únicamente sus propias referencias, y suelen estar en posesión de ese sentido del humor del que sólo disfrutan quienes se toman su arte verdaderamente en serio. Hay muchos ejemplos en el primer grupo. Otros más selectos como Picasso o Kubrick estarían en el segundo grupo. También, por qué no, The KLF.
  • The KLF (also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelords and other names) were one of the seminal bands of the British acid house movement during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beginning in 1987, Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) 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 genres "stadium house" (rave music with a pop-rock production and sampled crowd noise) and "ambient house. The KLF released a series of international top-ten hits on their own KLF Communications record label, and became the biggest-selling singles act in the world for 1991 The duo also published a book, The Manual, and worked on a road movie called The White Room. From the outset, they adopted the philosophy espoused by esoteric novel series The Illuminatus! Trilogy, gaining 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. Their most notorious performance was a collaboration with Extreme Noise Terror at the February 1992 BRIT Awards, where they fired machine gun blanks into the audience and dumped a dead sheep at the aftershow party. This performance announced The KLF's departure from the music business, and in May 1992 the duo deleted their entire back catalogue. With The KLF's profits, Drummond and Cauty established the K Foundation and sought to subvert the art world, staging an alternative art award for the worst artist of the year and burning one million pounds sterling. Although Drummond and Cauty remained true to their word of May 1992—the KLF Communications catalogue remains deleted in the UK—they have released a small number of new tracks since then, as the K Foundation, The One World Orchestra and most recently, in 1997, as 2K.
  • The KLF oli 1990-luvun alussa suosionsa huipulla ollut vastakulttuurillinen yhtye, joka tunnettiin myös nimillä Timelords ja Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (JAMs). Sen perustivat Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) ja Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) vuonna 1987. Yhtyeen tunnetuin kappale on todennäköisesti "What Time Is Love?", josta on aikojen kuluessa tehty useita eri versioita. Yhtye lopetti toimintansa näyttävästi ja kiistanalaisesti vuonna 1992 Brit Awards -palkintojuhlassa esiintymällä yhdessä Extreme Noise Terror -yhtyeen kanssa, ampumalla automaattiaseella paukkupanoksia yleisöä kohti ja heittämällä kuolleen lampaan portaille juhlan jälkeen. Tämän lisäksi he poistivat koko yhtyeen tuotannon myynnistä. Myöhemmin ryhmä siirtyi toimimaan nykytaiteen kentälle ottaen nimen K-Foundation. Heidän tunnetuin taideaktionsa on miljoonan punnan polttaminen, josta tehtiin 50-minuuttinen dokumentti Watch The K-Foundation Burn A Million Quid. Nykyisin miehet toimivat nimillä K Foundation ja Blacksmoke.
  • I KLF sono stati un importante gruppo musicale inglese a cavallo fra gli anni '80 ed i primi anni '90. Composti fondamentalmente dal duo Bill Drummond e Jimmy Cauty, hanno spesso cambiato nome al loro progetto discografico, utilizzando talvolta quello di The Timelords, The JAMs (acronimo di The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu), o altri. Il loro genere musicale è di difficile classificazione, poiché spazia dalla musica ambient a quella house. In genere, sono soprattutto noti per alcuni loro brani dance, fra cui What time is love? e 3 A.M. Eternal.
  • The KLF（Kopyright Liberation Front ザ・ケイエルエフ、直訳名：著作権開放戦線）はイギリスのビル・ドラモンドとジミー・コーティの二人からなるハウスユニットである。 アルバム『Chill Out』において「チルアウト」というジャンルを産み出し、また、次のアルバム『The White Room』から、「スタジアム・ハウス三部作（The Stadium House Trilogy）」と呼ばれるシングル3枚（「What Time is Love?」、「3 A.M. Eternal」、「Last Train to Trancentral」）をリリースし、ハウスシーンに大きな衝撃を残す。その反面、「著作権開放戦線」の名の通りに、無許可で他人の楽曲をサンプリングしてトラックを制作するなど、何度も問題を起こす人騒がせなグループでもあった。また、シンセサイザーを人差し指1本で弾くなど、演奏技術と楽曲レベルのギャップも驚きの対象となった。
  • The KLF was een Britse chillout- en acid house-groep, die eind jaren 80 en begin jaren 90 van de 20e eeuw enkele hits scoorde. Waarschijnlijk was 'KLF' een afkorting voor Kopyright Liberation Front of Kings of the Low Frequency, of Kool Low Frequency of Kevin Loves Fruit, hoewel de groep zelf beweerde dat het nergens voor stond. In Nederland scoorde The KLF in de Nationale Hitparade een nummer 1-hit met Last train to trancentral in 1991.

The KLF er også kjent under navn som The JAMs, The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelords, The K Foundation, The One World Orchestra og 2K. Duoen har laget musikk i flere sjangre, f. eks. hip-hop, acid house, trance, ambient house, pop, techno-rock og hard rock, men er mest kjent for sin pionérvirksomhet innen både trance og ambient house-musikk. The KLF er direkte inspirert av kultklassikeren Illuminatus! The Trilogy-boken og skjuler referanser overalt i sine tekster, platecovere, logoer og videoer.
  • The KLF ou apenas KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) foi uma banda inglesa do movimento acid house durante a década de 1980 e início de 1990. Foi formado em 1987, na cidade de Londres, Inglaterra. Mais do que qualquer banda pop na história, o KLF arrancou um balde de pilhagem da indústria da música e fugiu com ela - como ilustra o seu próprio guia para a criação de singles nº 1, The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way). Bill Drummond e Jimi Cauty aplicaram táticas de marketing de guerrilha no movimento acid house do final dos anos 80 na Grã-Bretanha e tornaram o KLF num best-seller, também usando outros nomes como The JAMS (acrônimo de Justified Ancients of Mu Mu) e The Timelords antes de definitivamente adotarem o nome KLF. Mesmo assim seu legado do que um mero produto de marketing, seus disco refletem o apogeu do movimento acid house no Reino Unido, além disso, muitos artistas posteriormente foram influenciados pelo KLF. Pouco antes de sua aposentadoria em 1992, a dupla excluíu todo o seu catálogo - uma perda potencial de milhões de libras - e declararam que não gravariam outro álbum até que a paz fosse declarada em todo o mundo .
