  • "The Magnificent" is a 1995 song by the One World Orchestra (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, better known as The KLF), recorded for the War Child charity compilation, The Help Album, which was released to raise funds for children affected by the Bosnian War. As with the other contributions to the album, it was recorded on 4 September 1995 and released five days later. It coincided with the screening of Drummond and Cauty's film about the K Foundation's burning of one-million British pounds, and the duo fielded questions from audiences relating the subjects. The only song released by the duo under the One World Orchestra moniker, the song is a drum and bass-styled cover version of the theme music from The Magnificent Seven, with vocal contributions from the counter-culturist DJ Fleka of Serbian radio station B92, who agreed to participate after Drummond and Cauty's original idea of Robbie Williams was unavailable. Despite the duo's dislike of "The Magnificent", it was used by B92 as a jingle and, in 1996, it became recognised as a protest song against the Serbian government of Slobodan Milošević. (en)

  • During this middle break, Fleka's potent sentiment is set against harmonious strings and low explosions, before a crescendo of drums and a reprise of The Magnificent Seven melody. (en)
