Dit is dan ook geen gewone biografie van een popgroep, maar een boek vol uitweidingen dat eigenlijk over het leven gaat en over onze kijk op het leven. The thread with a lot of this stuff is that something was crushed that would never come back - no, it's that you were too old to understand what came next, just like the people YOU were railing against didn't understand you.

Been putting off writing this review because I’ve been too busy telling everyone I know to read this book.

This is of course is as relevant as the fact that no JCB’s were used in the construction of the Great Pyramid. I found the insight into how The Illuminatus Trilogy and Principia Discordia greatly influenced the band and underpinned their motivation fascinating. I still dearly love many of those KLF tracks, despite the fact that I was not a big clubber myself and found most dance music irritating or incomprehensible. The studio manager (as opposed to the studio owner) is the person who looks after all aspects of the smooth and efficient running of the studio. In years to come people will stagger home down lonely streets singing your song to the strains of regurgitated vindaloo, all memory of who was behind the song lost.

Rather the KLF are the contextual point for Higgs to consider a variety of wide-ranging ideas brought together under the KLF banner to make an interesting yet haphazardly enjoyable read on the possible influences of the band. We do not expect this chapter on money to have fulfilled in any direct, practical way in making the Number One slot but it might have helped dispel any illusions you might have had. Wildly unauthorised and totally unlike any other music biography, ‘KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money’ is a trawl through chaos on the trail of a beautiful accidental mythology. Either way, this is one music biography you do not want to miss as it will have you questioning your own self-evident truths.The above scenario is almost quaint, but more of all that later in the “Five Days In A Twenty Four Track Studio” chapter.
