KLF really bringing out the stories ain't they! love that
@john eden one.
I can see how in the context of their time they would've been really exciting. true pop art geniuses (Drummond more pop, Cauty more art) no doubt.
I don't think most of the music holds up, better conceptually than in actual execution. again, at the time I can see it.
more importantly, the whole project seems so dated in way that dada and surrealism don't. it's like actual Pop Art in that way.
I'd guess cause pop art (and culture jamming) are inherently topical - they rely on a shared cultural understanding of the specific moment
whereas dada and surrealism are reaching toward the unconscious, primal, etc which is timeless
