The KLF's Chill Out and the enduring legacy of a personal cultural milestone Exploring the unique and enduring legacy of 'ambient classic', Chill Out, and its numerous homages and tributes

Since there’s an ever present bleakness everywhere, it’s our duty to spread as much joy, happiness and love as we can.
Here’s a great piece by @nickcubs.bsky.social on the enduring appeal of Chill Out by The KLF and some of the work that it’s influenced.

I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this.

You might like it if you like:
Folkloric creatures
Old records
Intricate psychedelic stories
The idea of circular time

All shares much-appreciated.

If you’re ever wondering where I’m coming from, it’s this phrase in Electric Eden - mossy mythopoetics - it just hit the spot when I first read it.

These always sell out, so don’t hesitate.
They’re only Β£15 each and you’re getting a lot of detail for a brilliant price.
Plus, it’s a great way to start collecting an internationally recognised artist.
You’d be daft not to get one.
Or two.

Small, but perfectly formed.
Another run of our massively popular smaller prints.
Harvest Mice and Chaffinches.
Loads of details at a brilliant price.
Excellent gifts.

I’m going to listen to the greatest album ever made, this afternoon, and see if I can kick my brain into gear.
We really need to make some sales, today.
If you lot know anybody who wants to buy some beautiful countryside art, point them in this direction.

Some autumn delights.
Mushrooms, pumpkins, leaves, chestnuts, moss and a little bit of mystery.

The herons were out in force, today. We saw 4, at least. And we saw the elusive β€˜Black Heron’. I’ve no idea what it actually is, maybe @everyheron.bsky.social will know better than me.

Feeling better, now.
Got a lot to do, just a wee bit nervous about getting on with it.
A touch of the old imposter syndrome.
It happens to the best of us.
Just going to stick some music on and power through.
If you don’t try, you’ll never know what you can do.

If anybody fancies buying some beautiful countryside art, then you’d be doing us a massive favour.
It’s still not Christmas market season and we’ve only had 3 sales in the last few weeks.
Starting to get a bit worried, while we wait for the busy time.
