Quote:
 Sunchyme is a bit of an insult to the real 1985 work it relies so heavily upon through the sample, with that programmed dance beat just plonked on top. The video is also a travesty in that it suggests the original 'chant' refers somehow to the veldt/Africana and euphoria. The chant was recorded as the artistic counter to the theme of bleakness in Northern England (the song being dedicated to the loss of Nick Drake who died of an overdose after a lifetime of depression and insomnia). I think it was meant to convey redemption out of gloom/despair. For this reason, the real work is still quite often played or referenced in people's minds at the funerals of loved ones going by the YT comments (I doubt Sunchyme is!) It's a bit like The Saturdays nicking "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and exploiting it as pop/dance goo - then that being held-up as a shining example of the '10s !!!!

Really a reworking from their 1987 debut album
"They're justified and they're ancient and they drive an ice-cream van" is an inspired lyric. Also, the only act to ever have set light to £1million in cash (in £50 notes) Mad as a bag of frogs: "The KLF's BRITs statuette for "Best British Group" of 1992 was later "found" buried in a field near Stonehenge" Last edited by Claymores; 15-10-2010 at 02:48 PM. |
