KLF VERSUS SAW

Model train sets versus zinging YBAs: the battle for ILX's soul

handful of incredible tracks vs lots of very good tracks

Hardest one yet but the art bit of me says KLF.

That R2 doc on SAW yesterday was disappointing.

I need to hear all of "Roadblock" to decide.

Pete Waterman and Bill Drummond kinda look the same. Also both funnee guys. Drummond not a Tory as far as I know. "Doctorin' the Tardis" not as good as "SS Paparazzi". Tammy Wynette considerably better than Sonia. THIS IS DEAD HARD. Today I'm'a vote for KLF specifically for Chill Out and "It's Grim Up North". And the good version of "What Time Is Love" without the rapping on it.

What I want to hear is the original "Roadblock" mix which featured a full vocal track performed by Jimmy Ruffin but which SAW took off at the last minute because they thought it might make it sound "too authentic."

Waterman also not a Tory.

Though I'm pretty sure Mike Stock is.

Gotta bow to yr infallible Tory Detector. Thought Pete had been involved with some kind of Cameronite initiative.

IIRC Waterman collects real-life old steam trains, which is kind of awesome. KLF's antics somewhat embarrasing & naff in retrospect. Also they could have given me all that money.

I'm going for quantity, though in any case SAW Ruul. "You Spin me Round (like a record)" pwnz anyuthing in KLF's back catalog, never mind this:

"You Spin Me Round" ruined forever by turgid endless sequence on aforementioned R2 doc where Steve Levine describes the workings of the Linn 900 a la that Fast Show claymation sketch.

Never 'eard it. (thank goodness?)

All pop videos should look like Nagel prints that have been brought to life!

KLF, because they credited themselves as artists and didn't hire puppet artists with model looks that were given way too much artistic credit that they didn't deserve.

B-b-but the rapping!

LEAVE IT MATT DC, IT'S GEIRBOTTOWN

Ha ha, I thought SAW = "Selected Ambient Works" - me ILM muso geek

Statler And Waldorf

SAW II was better.

SAW's list of singles has some pretty fucking dire (Do They Know Its Christmas?!?!?) shit on there. That Dead or Alive song is ok but its pretty tedious beyond 30 seconds on "I Love the 80s" and inescapable in some shit clubs and high school dances.

still want instrumental edit of 'you spin me round' - great italo rip in its own right
