They were the bestselling singles band in the world. They had awards, credibility, commercial success and creative freedom. Then they deleted their records, erased themselves from musical history and burnt their last million pounds in a boathouse on the Isle of Jura. And they could not say why. This is not just the story of The KLF. It is a book about Carl Jung, Alan Moore, Robert Anton Wilson, Ken Campbell, Dada, Situationism, Discordianism, magic, chaos, punk, rave, the alchemical symbolism of Doctor Who and the special power of the number 23. Wildly unauthorised and unlike any other music biography, this is a trawl through chaos on the trail of a beautiful, accidental mythology.

Work Description
"A noi non resta che lo spettacolo, ed è proprio all'interno di questo spettacolo che è da ricercare una qualsivoglia risposta al perché i KFL hanno bruciato un milione di sterline. È u approccio che per questa storia sembra particolarmente appropriato, perché nel caso dei KFL i criteri enciclopedici e accademici non ci rivelerebbero nulla di quanto cerchiamo. Drummond e Cauty vagarono alla cieca nell'oscurità delle loro storie servendosi di qualunque cosa gli paresse utile, e pertant sarà quello l'atteggiamento che seguiremo anche noi. Il nostro è un tentativo di cogliere lo spirito di quegli eventi, e l'unico modo in cui possiamo farlo è rievocandoli a nostra volta. Questa è, insomma, una storia di cui gli stessi personaggi non sapevano di fare parte." (dal prologo)
