The KLF is not hip-hop. The KLF is the KLF. They're justified. They're ancient. And they like to roam the land. The year was 1991. The KLF was everywhere! I wore the cassette out listening to it 3 to 4 times a day for months. On the way to school. On the way back from school. Before bed. Such a great album.
Yes indeed! Still own a copy of the CD today, which I still play from time to time!....along with Tammy Wynette featured on the "Justified and Ancient" track!
Kopyright Liberation Front. These guys had the world in the palm if their hands and decided to walk away. They all lived in a squat that was the base for their operation. No manager, no agents no A and R no contract no label but still took over the world. Everything that was done was done by them writing , producing, printing vinyls, sales and distribution the whole kit and caboodle . Ancients of Mu are a lost civilisation. According to the Illuminatis trilogy by James Churchward. Billy and Jimmy put a lot of inspiration not only into the lyrics but in life too. It nearly drove them insane. These are my band! I love Queen but these guys do something that I can feel and relate to on a visceral level. High art indeed. You have to understand the mythos behind the project to really get it. Have you ever heard of the band Edelweiss? They literally read through KLF book on how to get a number one song and hey presto they had a number one with Bring me Edelweiss. It had been released previously but had gone nowhere they then put it through the Billy and Jimmy filter and it worked.
The story of the rise and fall of the KLF is probably the wildest and most interesting in the history of modern music. :) Surely one of the most important and influential music projects of the 90's.
I was in middle school when this came out early 90s. They are a UK band. This isn't really rap music, despite the guy rapping. We called this house music or techno. Also known as Euro dance. It's high energy dance music 🎶. Popular music in the 80s and 90s.
The utter epitome of stadium house. The KLF were mostly performance artists - in the non-musical sense. They did a lot of crazy stuff as performative art - not least of which was burning £1,000,000 of their own money and dumping a dead sheep at the door of the Brit music awards. America - What Time Is Love is possibly the most bonkers thing ever made - but Last Train to Transcentral is my single favourite workout/exercise track. Especially the anti-acapella mix. Fantastic stuff.
They bought a racehorse which they expected to be useless and turned out to be a real champ. Made £££ on the track then went on to be a top stallion. Name Khaleef
KLF were proper disruptors, they even wrote the blueprint on how to get to number one in the charts, and their chill out album kickstarted a whole genre! Their Wiki is worth a read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_KLF And this channel has loads of great KLF related videos: youtube.com/@KiLN_
Greetings from Germany, KLF was a big thing in Europe in the early 90s. I Love their Songs, my favorits are America: What Time is Love and Justified & Ancient.
They're saying "Ancients of Mu-Mu." The KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) were also know as The JAMMs (Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu), as well as The Timelords. The Orb was an offshoot that developed its own sound.
KLF is its own genre, its the most 90s of all 80s bands. No boundaries, not limits, no boxes, just KLF. This is one of the most interesting story of artists that just would not conform. What Time is Love, Last Train to Trancentral and of course the iconic Justified and Ancient, KLF is pure culture.
"Ancients of Mu Mu" is the lyric you couldn't figure out. The KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) are also known as The JAMS, also know as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu.
Saw them support Echo and the Bunnymen with another two bands supporting back in the 90's, they did there song "what time is love" and the Bunnymen played alongside them!!!! It was epic 😍
The K.L.F were HUGE back in the day... nothing but club dance floor fillers that were absolute bangers..... 3 am the time you leave a nightclub and go looking for another party... ancient's of Mu Mu
You need to watch their last ever performance. They played with Extreme Noise Terror, shot blank rounds at the crowd and then deleted their back catalogue! Eventually they went on to burn £1m on a remote Scottish island. Absolute odd balls!
Don’t try to understand it; just enjoy the sounds :) They’re basically talking nonsense. The Ancients of Mu refers to the mythical Land of Mu. It doesn’t really mean anything much, but the KLF were at one point called The Justified Ancients of Mu. It’s all a bit silly, but I love how the track sounds, and it’s very nostalgic for me and reminds me of the late 80s / early 90’s.
the KLF are the inventors of Stadium House - dance music that's Epic, with samples, rock, hip hop, vocals, everything turned up to 11 and everyone having a great time. the rest is history...
In the 70s I was a kid. Dug the music. In the 80s I came of age. In the 90s I was a young adult. I thank the universe I was born when I was, the perfect time, got to experience the greatest decades at the perfect age. So dig this tune.
Me too it was a white single cassette tape with a microphone 🎤 on it with a building a think. But I just know I had this and she’s got the look single from Roxette
That cassette didn't leave my walkman for like a year in the early 90's. One of the best electronic albums of all time, hands down. So many classic jams.
Back in the day we never really never thought about lyric just felt the song and learned the lyrics it was more how it got you moving most these songs was in clubs you heard these come on you hit the floor
This & "Justified And Ancient" are amazing tunes! Those were their two big hits. The latter was with Tammy Wynette on lead vocal. Weird combo, but it worked!
Can't believe you are finally reacting to the legendary KLF, Timelords, JAMMS, Justified and Ancients of Mumu, the band that supposedly burnt a million dollars and turned their back on the music industry. The White Room is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
You've no clue how huge KLF were back in the day. A few facts? The title (3 am eternal) refers to chucking out time at the Spectrum Acid House club in London. They were huge places at the time. I went to one or two myself lol. This was the first song to reach the Top 40 of the Hot 100 that started with "3." Other songs since that have done so include Alana Davis' 1998 hit, "32 Flavors" and Eminem's 2009 ''Sing'' Others are right. Ancients of Mu Mu. There's some good song's they've done, but there is controversy regarding the band you should look into.
This song was, is, and forever will be a BANGER!! All hail The KLF, Justified Ancients of Mu Mu - furthermore known as The JAMMs, previously The TimeLords (check Doctorin' The Tardis). Can't tell you how many times I've blasted this song on my various audio setups! Suggest the songs What Time Is Love?, Last Train To Trans-Central, Justified and Ancient (single with Tammy Wynette), & The White Room. These guys rock!!
This brings me back to my youth!!! I think the KLF were two Scottish music producers big on the then rave scene. I think I may have a couple of their 12 inch singles somewhere gathering dust!! What Time is Love is another good track, and I think they also did a single with country singer Tammy Wynette!
I had to have listened to this song at least three thousand times when it came out around 1990. I had a tape radio alarm clock and would play the cassette to this album every night when I would go to sleep.
No it comes from the babylonian God Mummu and you need to read the illuminati triology novels and then all the lyrics of KLF will make a lot more sense! ;)
@@maedden1974 Allright, but then the Mu or Lemuria is being referred to in that book, and is the reference point to ..."all bound for Mu Mu Land..." as it is written, not Mummu land. However I hasten to add that I haven't read or studied the book.
@@maedden1974 I had to come a long way down the comments list to finally find someone who'd read the illuminatus and understood everything they were talking about and referring to in their lyrics. Mummu was a god of chaos as represented in the books and not a reference to a continent as I remember it. The JAMS (Justified ancients of mummu) were kicked out as their beliefs didn't coincide with those of the illuminati - hence the KLF song. They obviously really loved the book and were probably as stoned as I was when they read it. I also can't remember if 3am was relevant in any way. Maybe it was the time when Hagbard Celine had to commit his destruction of another due to his inability to talk to his opponent and resolve his differences due to being on his submarine. Looking back at what I typed it feels like I might be tripping right now. Must give the books another read! :)
This is what was great about 90's. Songs with a good beat and not just regular instruments or vocals. Seems like when 2000 hit, the energy and speed of songs slowed down. I'm looking at you 50 Cent!
They burnt a £million, and one of them wanted to cut his hand off live at The Brit Awards. They settled for machine gunning the audience (blanks thankfully) and leaving a dead sheep on the stage. Legends.
In one of their early songs, they mention the Kopywrite Liberation Front. They were supposedly freeing Music from copyright laws (presumably through unauthorised sampling.)
What they mean by Kipywrite Liberation Front, is they did all their stuff on the cheap, at their own time, with their mates, and no music bigwig input. In fact, the bigwigs hated them, until the awards, where they quit. The KLF was also caught on not paying tax, so to do that on court orders, they decided to make a film, that they thought would just pay the tax they owed only. The film they made, was Crocodile Dundee, which was a global hit.
Very much part of the British rave scene in the late. 80s early 90s where thousands of people would go to the countryside and dance all night after taking ecstasy. It was almost a religious experience.
When this first came out, it made no sense. But I still bought the album because it was unique and funky. Still groove out to it from time to time. Thanks for some Old School.
Not hip-hop at all, this is house music. and they are one of the best. justified and ancient with Tammy Wynette was one of the best early cross-genre collabs.I can tell you that i had multiple CD's from KLF back when I was just a 20-something.
A lot of the imagery of this band relates to a book series called The Illuminatus Trilogy, wherein the KLF were the Kallisti Liberation Front. Kallisti being the Greek work for "for the prettiest", which was inscribed on the golden apple Eris, goddess of strife and chaos, used to set the Greek goddesses against each other and start the Trojan war. I fucking love these guys
Nice song... they include the guitar part as wink to the Rock... lot of dance music in 90's was rock lovers too... 3 AM still a nice testament of 90 club dance.
When this was current in 1992, it had such a unique and mysterious sound to it. Really stood out. And then they had this unusual but cool sounding track "Justified And Ancient" with country singer Tammy Wynette on the vocals. ruclips.net/video/XP5oHL3zBDg/видео.html
Man, the first time I saw a reaction video, I was like "This is some bullshit!" The thing is, I REALLY enjoy y'alls videos. I think it's so cool to see young people experiencing the music I grew up with for the first time. I really enjoy how you each approach it from different places. Brad listens with a furrowed brow. Concentration. He wants to understand the song; figure out what it's about. Lex listens emotionally, and I'm often fascinated at how well she so often understands the artist's intent, or comes up with a new insight. I'm still tickled by her description of Billy Gibbons' voice as being like "leather moccasins" on La Grange. I especially appreciate the way y'all respect each other's opinions and listen to each others' thoughts with open minds. I'm gonna go watch the Rapper's Delight reaction now. That song changed EVERYTHING, and I'm really curious to see what y'all think of it.
Welcome to the KLF party. As somelse has said, they are their own genre. I bought the White Room on casette and it was the soundtrack of a great summer back in the early 90s. Youve got to do Justified and Ancient, with country star Tammy Wynette singing. Its sublime and they drive an ice cream van! Youll get it when you listen to it.
Personally, it would have to be America, What Time Is Love. Or the utterly epic, grimdark It's Grim Up North. Jerusalem fading in at the end still gives me chills.
The KLF is not hip-hop. The KLF is the KLF. They're justified. They're ancient. And they like to roam the land. The year was 1991. The KLF was everywhere! I wore the cassette out listening to it 3 to 4 times a day for months. On the way to school. On the way back from school. Before bed. Such a great album.
KLF is Euro Dance, Dance, Acid House,Rap ..( electronic music)
We were truly blessed ❤
Better on acid in a cold dangerous warehouse. Facts.
At Metalsquid …. Same and I was a death metal head but this album hit.
You forgot ancients of mumu.😂
More than 30 Years later and "The White Room" is still a great Album
You damn right !
Yes indeed! Still own a copy of the CD today, which I still play from time to time!....along with Tammy Wynette featured on the "Justified and Ancient" track!
True , true ...
Absolutely and with "Last train to transcentral" (Door smash sample) I´d blown my speakers away...
And the Chill Out album is still a cracker to drift off to sleep to. Though my CD is in the car which probably isn't the best place to drift off... 🤔

I was all about these guys when this came out. KLF, SNAP, Arrested Development, and Urban Dance Squad were all great bands ahead of their time.

One of the most underrated yet badass songs ever. Love it.
"Ancients of Mu Mu" is the lyric you couldn't figure out. The KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) are also known as The JAMS, also know as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu.
For a long time I thought it was Ancients of Groove just like they did.
Kopyright Liberation Front*
When I was a kid I always thought they said “catch this groove”. It doesn’t sound like that at all
And Kings of the Low Frequencies? Kärt barn har många namn.
Mu a lost civilization from Africa kinda like Atlantis was supposed to be an advanced civilization.
Gotta love the old brick phone. What a time to be alive. Lol
It stands for ‘Kevics liberation front’, Kevics is their old high school in Totnes, England. 😅
I haven't heard this song in YEARS!!! what an era!!!
such a creative song!!! hip hop, techno, disco, R&B...WOW what a memory
Yes in the early 90s it was quite an "in" thing to combine rapping with dance music. "The Shamen" are a good example of that :)
Saw them support Echo and the Bunnymen with another two bands supporting back in the 90's, they did there song "what time is love" and the Bunnymen played alongside them!!!! It was epic 😍
Wow! that's cool.
Great dance song in the clubs in early 90s.

Music that causes the body to move. 90s was peak music and people having fun together
This was the song of summer in '91. This was a crossover of so many different genres from hip hop, house to pop rock and synth.
This is late teens, driving around with mates, cassette player blasting out. Carefree.
Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty are two of the most interesting men in pop music. Well worth a deep dive.
Great track !!!!!!! I played a lot of their tracks when I was deejay'ing back in the day. A very popular club song.
Tensions a groove; clubbing, raving, sun-rise children

I love The KLF! Check out their hit Justified & Ancient (featuring Tammy Wynette even!),
I use to crank up this song back in the day. When this came out it was a very cool new sound. Still makes you move. Thanks for reacting.
Man, the first time I saw a reaction video, I was like "This is some bullshit!"
The thing is, I REALLY enjoy y'alls videos. I think it's so cool to see young people experiencing the music I grew up with for the first time.
I really enjoy how you each approach it from different places. Brad listens with a furrowed brow. Concentration. He wants to understand the song; figure out what it's about. Lex listens emotionally, and I'm often fascinated at how well she so often understands the artist's intent, or comes up with a new insight. I'm still tickled by her description of Billy Gibbons' voice as being like "leather moccasins" on La Grange.
I especially appreciate the way y'all respect each other's opinions and listen to each others' thoughts with open minds.
I'm gonna go watch the Rapper's Delight reaction now. That song changed EVERYTHING, and I'm really curious to see what y'all think of it.
Danço até hoje nas festas flashback 💃
This was such a good part/period of my life.....getting out every weekend untill deep in the night......i miss that time
Welcome to the KLF party. As somelse has said, they are their own genre. I bought the White Room on casette and it was the soundtrack of a great summer back in the early 90s. Youve got to do Justified and Ancient, with country star Tammy Wynette singing. Its sublime and they drive an ice cream van! Youll get it when you listen to it.
Personally, it would have to be America, What Time Is Love.
Or the utterly epic, grimdark It's Grim Up North. Jerusalem fading in at the end still gives me chills.
