My friend Tobias sent me the following translated excerpt. This is Ricardo Villalobos explaining how he made his new album, The Au Harem d'Archimede, to Tobias Thomas in the German magazine Spex:
Villalobos: "I got this offer by The KLF to do a remix and I picked What Time Is Love. But whenever I tried to integrate the melody I was stuck. So I recorded it just for me, in a 20-minute session, without arrangement. It went on for a year like this, I tried and tried to get this remix done. And then I had it and my hard disk crashed. I was desperate but then I thought: I still have the DATs with ten tracks on them, a unified whole. All these tracks that belong together, Villalobos-music with KLF taken out of it. That's how this record was created."

or at least this was the case 5 or more years ago when the london squat party scene was full of blank eyed zombies with white snot dribbling from their nostrils.
music that will penetrate the general sense of detachment / displacement that k induces and make even the most paralytic limbs flail around...

What I'm interested in though, is do any of the people on that scene aknowledge K as an influence on their music? Are they trying to make music for people on ketamine, or are they just trying to make hard music for people who like to get fucked up on e/k/coke whatever?
spackb0y said:^ Definately.
I don't really get the techno thing... K seems to make most dance sound more watery and washed out - the thud of the 4/4 gets lost. Maybe that's just me though...
