Youth left Killing Joke in '82 for a group called Brilliant, who were very much not but also featured Jimmy Cauty, who was to become one half of KLF who were formed with a view to capitalizing on popular musical trends of the time in order to earn a million quid to subsequently burn it, bowing out with a surprise grindcore version of their hit 3am (eternal) to close 1992's Brit Awards with Extreme Noise Terror. having just won best artist - then leaving a dead sheep at the entrance and deleting their back catalogue with immediate effect - and burning the proceeds of course.. but Bill Drummond who conceived KLF recently went on record to say music had run its course in the 20th century. echoing my thoughts precisely - the irony is the industry is more than ever a conveyer belt of the same stagnating pop cultures that were amassed in century being cranked out, but inevitably with no originality. and of course zero surprise/shock factor - KLF's mockery of the easy-bucks industry featured a lot of sampling, which was illegal then. today it is encouraged - plagiarism lawsuits are also rare today, or waived off as merely coincidental as most to all musical avenues have been covered

but Jimmy also founded The Orb with Alex Patterson. Patterson started out as a roadie with Killing Joke! post-punk legends are few n far between these days will check em out

I went to see them in koko a few years back, they will be unreal in the button factory, as intimate as it gets. Geordie Walker is an absolute god, very hypnotic style.
