The KLF released music under the names the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, JAMs, and (to release a childhood favourite of mine "Doctorin' the TARDIS") the Timelords. The group also published a book "The Manual (how to have a number one the easy way)".
The group pulled off some rather extreme performance pieces, including dumping a dead sheep at their after-show party, and then disbanded. They formed the K Foundation with the mission of subverting and creating.
Prior to the breakup though, they produced this album. Originally designed as a soundtrack for a film of the same name, the film was cancelled so the group moved towards producing a standalone album instead. The music goes between the worlds of pop and the trance/rave scene. For an album from the constantly evolving (musically and technologically) electronic scene, this one has aged incredibly well and I could imagine them possibly having influenced the Prodigy among others.
