You’ve done such a great job with this mix and history of the band.  A great trip down memory lane.  Some of the interview and media bits are gold!

thank you for this incredible compilation.

So sick, even today these beats are great. Love the history lesson mixed in with the evolution of their music. They truly were artists!

Underworld - 6 Mix On BBC Radio 6 Music - 10-Oct-2014

From the liner notes:

"The assocation between myself and Cream is not an obvious one, But the objective is to help break down the categorization within dance music. This mix hopefully gives a different perspective into another side of dance culture. Mixed by James Lavelle, additional mix, production and scratches by the Phyconauts. Mix down engineer - John Lyons, edits assistance by Richie Fermie. Recorded and fucked up at Dos Shot Studios/Mo' Wax London. "

***This came out before web reviews, however, IMHO, it's one of the most badass and technically accomplished mixes of its time.

The pic is an actual scan, the Cream logo is embossed and the light gold and gray print doesn't show up very well, but it's Cream for  sure... :-)

Cream LiveTwo - James Lavelle Mix (1996)

23 years ago the KLF announced they were leaving the music business. They deleted their back catalogue and burned £1m on a remote island in Scotland. This mixumentary tells their story; a strange and often chaotic tale traversing hip hop, gospel, trance, techno, ambient, house and pop amongst other things. It is my tribute to the band that produced the first single I ever bought, a tribute to a band that, despite becoming the largest selling singles act in the world, remain largely forgotten.  

"A very thorough and splendidly creative job" - Bill Drummond

"Good work!" - Jimmy Cauty

"Wildly enjoyable" - Mojo Magazine

"I don’t think some of the tracks have stood the test of time well. With so many mixes to squeeze into the show, I can’t really justify using this" - Solid Steel Radio

KLF: Embrace The Contradictions

Words: The KLF, an initialism for "Kopyright Liberation Front", and "Kings of the Low Frequencies" (also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, furthermore known as The JAMs, The Timelords and other names) were a British acid house band of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beginning in 1987, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty released hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu.

The duo also published a book, The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way), and worked on a road movie called The White Room. The Justified Ancients of Mummu" from The Illuminatus! Eternity is a recurring theme in song titles ("3 a.m. Eternal", "Madrugada Eterna") hence the title of this mix. 

Following the February 1990 release of Chill Out, sheep had recurring roles in the duo's output until their 1992 retirement. Drummond has claimed that the use of sheep on the Chill Out cover was intended to evoke contemporary rural raves and the cover of the Pink Floyd album Atom Heart Mother. Drummond and Cauty's work often involved notions of ceremony and journey. Journeys are the subject of the KLF Communications recordings Chill Out, Space, "Last Train to Trancentral", and also Adventures beyond the Ultraworld. 

The Chill Out album depicts a journey across the U.S. Gulf Coast. I took that approach in making this tribute mix. Some British friends suggested I make this mix but in the beginning, I had no idea what to do, and more importantly how to do it. Most of what you’ll hear on the mix, is random and improvised. I only used one track from Chill out, most of the material is bootlegs, fan mixes by Bovine boy (https://www.facebook.com/bovineboy/?fref=ts), El Strawb (https://soundcloud.com/el-strawb), samples used by KLF, remixes, moon landings, all accompanied by the movie The Rites Of Mu (Narrated By Martin Sheen). I hope it will be a rewarding voyage to you! At 3 a.m. eternal… ? ? ? ?!

01 UNKLE Essential Mix Part 1

The Chemical Brothers (or Dust Brothers as they were at the time) live at The Albany, London.

Sunday 14th August 1994.

Recorded on DAT by Robin Turner.

The jump into Boops at 27.52 is because the DAT was removed in order for Tom and Ed to play music they'd made in the studio that week (instrumental of Life is Sweet often got played around this time). Any record jumps were caused by people banging into the decks, or pogoing! (I'm guilty as charged in Voodoo People). Last record cuts off due to the DAT running out. 

Big up all the Heavenly Sunday Social crew.

Enjoy x

UNKLE - Edit Music For Film - The Director's Cut

I do these hour long mixes every year or so featuring cover versions, sample-heavy tracks or songs that obviously owe a debt to the Dusseldorf quartet. Each mix is laced with spoken word, interviews or info about Kraftwerk too. 
I had the idea several years ago and the more I dug, the more I found, the amount of material out there is mind boggling. Not so strange for such an influential band who rarely release new material I suppose, fans have to fill the gap somehow. For anyone wanting to play catch-up, the first 5 volumes will be available at www.djfood.org with full artwork and track listings.
