The KLF have announced a temporary "departure from the music business",
in the wake of rumours that the band is to be permanently dissolved.
The controversial duo, last seen performing with Extreme Noise Terror
at the BPI awards, offered the following statement to NME : "Jimmy
Cauty and Bill Drummond left for Mexico City on May 5 to research a
non-music project, the nature of which is yet to be disclosed."
Drummond and Cauty are reportedly "worn out" after producing 6 hit
singles and the Number One "White Room" LP over the last 18 months.
Despite the fact the duo are renowned in the music industry for their
bizarre publicity stunts, the band's spokesperson continued to insist
that "nothing sinister is afoot", as NME went to press.
However, insiders are conviced that Drummond and Cauty, who have
previously released material as the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu, The
Timelords and The JAMS, are likely to end their term as The KLF and
return after their sabbatical in Mexico under and entirely new guise. "
Well, I am afraid that's all I know. I can't confirm or deny any of this.
I shall however be attempting to contact KLF Communications (if there is
anyone there) in the next two days, to see if I can learn any more. My
immediate reaction to this is to not take it too seriously - The KLF have
made many promises and statements in their time, and it is a very large
proportion of these that turn out to be hopelessly wrong. I think that
fact that they have both gone to Mexico (apparently) shows that there is
still a commitment, although to what, I cannot say :) . This certainly
isn't the last of the duo.......
More news when I have it.

Postscript :
Ironically, in the same issue of The NME, from US News :
" The KLF will be pleased to learn that the Mississippi State legislature
has approved the renaming of a 13-mile stretch of motorway in honour of
country singer Tammy Wynette. "
