There were sheep noises on the ambient version of &#8216;Last Train To Trancentral&#8217;, and on &#8216;Chill Out&#8217;, where sheep also appear on the cover and merchandise insert. Its rumoured that some sheep appeared on stage at one of the club PA&#8217;s they did in 89-90. There are many publicity shots of the KLF standing with sheep, and sheep appear in &#8216;Waiting&#8217;. Sheep are mentioned in the &#8220;It&#8217;s Grim Up North&#8221; sleeve essay and when they showed The White Room film in Germany, several sheep were guests of honour. Then there was the notorious dead sheep incident at the BRITs.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8216;Why Sheep?&#8217; This incidentally is one of the &#8220;questions that we get asked and are unable to answer.&#8221; It is also printed under a picture of them holding a sheep on the &#8220;White Room&#8221; CD insert.<\/p>\n<p>Its to his credit that list co-ordinator Lazlo Nibble is one of the only people to interview Drummond who has got an answer on this. The full X Magazine interview is in the ftp archive. Bill Drummond said: &#8220;The sleeve is a very very English thing. The Pink Floyd album ATOM HEART MOTHER, do you know that album? The sleeve with the cow&#8217;s head on it? That&#8217;s a very English thing and it has the vibe of the rave scene over here. When we&#8217;re having the big Orbital raves out in the country, and you&#8217;re dancing all night and then the sun would come up in the morning, and then you&#8217;d be surrounded by this English rural countryside &#8230; so we wanted something that kind of reflected that, that feeling the day after the rave, that&#8217;s what we wanted the music for. So when we went to the photo-library, we had a copy of ATOM HEART MOTHER under our arms, and we went in: &#8216;Okay, we want a picture of sheep, like this.&#8217; They didn&#8217;t have any pictures of sheep that were like the cover of ATOM HEART MOTHER, but they had these other pictures of sheep &#8230; hundreds, thousands of pictures of sheep, and we picked the ones we used because it had that same sort of feeling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally in the KLF vs. the BRITs article in NME Drummond is asked why cut up sheep on stage? &#8220;Tons of reasons. You know, it&#8217;s that whole thing about sacrificial lambs and about lambs to the slaughter. And there was something in there about that Geoffrey Howe thing, being savaged by a dead sheep.&#8221; [quiet peaceful Howe had a savage attack on Mrs Thatcher after she sacked him which helped to bring her down.] Danny Kelly then reminds Drummond that &#8220;sheep&#8230;(are) deeply embedded in the JAMs\/KLF mythology (and so) wasn&#8217;t the sheep-hacking idea a bit like suicide? Drummond agreed &#8220;Exactly, that&#8217;s in there too. That&#8217;s what the &#8216;KLF have now left the music business&#8217; was about&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-faq-custom-fields'>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-faq-categories'>\n\t\n\tFiled under\n\t\n\t\tMiscellaneous\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-faq-tags'>\n\t\n\tTag:\t\n\t\n\t\tsheep\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B Why sheep?
