Further details emerge of mysterious book

Following a number of cryptic transmissions from Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty of late, some further details have emerged of their plans for the year.

We already know that a novel of sorts, entitled 2023: A Trilogy, is planned for release in August, but now some further mysterious information has arrived via a press release. The novel, to be released by Faber, will be available from August 23. You can read the full quotes from the press release below and check out our recent Strange World Of... The KLF feature here.

"Well we're back again, They never kicked us out, twenty thousand years of SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT.

"Down through the epochs and out across the continents, generation upon generation of the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu have told variants of the same story - an end of days story, a final chapter story. But with one hope, even if the hope at times seems forlorn.

"The story contained in this trilogy is the latest telling. Here it is presented as a utopian costume drama, set in the near future, written in the recent past.

"Read with care.
