◇ image via WikipediaThe KLF
The KLF is a Electronic and Hip hop act. Their catalogue also touches Techno. Their sound grew out of Atom Heart Mother, The Beatles, Samantha Fox, ABBA and Petula Clark. Those roots explain a lot about how The KLF arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Orb, Utah Saints, Art of Noise, Underworld and Biosphere, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into H.P. Baxxter, Scooter, The Orb, Extreme Noise Terror and Music for a Big Night Out, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 40 connections around The KLF, reaching back through Atom Heart Mother and forward to H.P. Baxxter.
