The KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) were one of the seminal bands to derive at or around the time of the [Acid House movement]? in Britain in the early 90s. Founded by [Jimmy Cauty]? (alias Rockman Rock, Lord Rock) and [Bill Drummond]? (alias King Boy D, Time Boy) in the wake of the disbandment of the sampling outfit [The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu]?, the KLF were to release a series of world-wide hits.

They have also branched out and published a book 'The Manual', and are also infamous for various anarchic situationist manifestations which include a [BRIT Awards]? protest involving a dead sheep and buckets of blood, weird mainstream press adverts, staging an alternative art award for the worst artist of the year (The Alternative Turner Prize), and burning a million pounds sterling before an assembled posse of journalists. They toured the film of the burning round the U.K. The group are often compared to The Residents for their antics if not their music.
