Turn Up The Strobe: The KLF, The JAMMs, The Timelords - A History

During a ten year period bridging the 1980s and 1990s, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty created subversive pop masterpieces at a prodigious pace, leaving behind a body of work unlike anything created before or since. From international hit singles as The KLF to mysterious rituals conducted on far-flung corners of the British Isles, the duo questioned, accused and entertained in equal measure. Never before had one band possessed the power or inclination to excite high street nightclubs and the contemporary art world simultaneously. This is the story of two of the Twentieth Century's most vital artists, and those who worked with them. A story of success, fear, control, escape, freedom, independence, disaster and ambition, told in the universal language of electric guitars, graffiti, house music, the Roland TR-808, marketing, 12" vinyl records, sheep, a Ford Galaxie and the money and fame all of these things attract. Packed with new interviews with friends and collaborators, Turn Up The Strobe explores the making of the men, the work they embarked on and the people who helped them realise it, from youthful adventures in pop music and elsewhere towards the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu, The Timelords and the chart-topping monster The KLF became.
