Just to hammer another nail in the coffin of this bootlegging issue, I saw an amusing sight yesterday. There is a massive series of Pink Floyd bootleg trance remixes available. Somebody (allegedly Alex Patterson, though my guess is that it was one of those KLF goons) remixes each album, and released it separately. The one's I've seen were the Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were Here, Division Bell and Animals "limited edition" trance remixes. This, OBVIOUSLY, isn't legal. So, who did it, and what's their message/point? Just some more brain candy - chew carefully. ____ __,---' `--.__ ,-' ; `.

It was neither. First, KLF and Orb are too damned good to put out crap like that. It's just some DJ trying to make a lot of money. If you listen, it's just a bunch of sounds played on top of the actual songs. Not even remixes. From what I've heard of these, they're TERRIBLE. I wish KLF would come back and save us from boredom again. Anybody wanna sell their K foundation stuff relatively cheap? Hmmm? BTW-I'll buy somebody's US Little Fluffy Clouds single for 10 bucks. It's gotta have the Coldcut remixes on it. Mistress ov Mu
