Utter presents 'We Know Where The Times Goes' by The FLK.

The album is a mirror of the after-hours classic 'Chill Out' by The KLF. Drummond and Cauty's legendary ambient long-player represents a mythical night-drive across the American Deep South, ingeniously intertwining live electronics and samples in a single live take. The KLF infamously disbanded in 1992 and deleted their entire back-catalogue. Over the years it has become something of a cult item.

Like 'Chill Out', 'We Know Where The Time Goes' soundtracks a journey. However, this is a journey through England. A journey through English folk music.

It's a soundscape, a documentary, an ambient landscape, an aural ordinance survey map, a travelogue. It starts in the North Country and goes South, via Scarborough, through the Midlands and then on to London before moving across the South Downs and ending in Brighton.

The FLK:

"In the footsteps of the great folk song collectors, we scoured the land, collecting the songs of the people, recording them and compiling them and cutting them into small pieces before rearranging them.

Who knows where the time goes? We do. It took us 19 years to make this album, because we hadn't spoken to each other in a very long time.

The album raises questions about who owns these English folk songs. Traditional songs, anonymous songs, handed down over generations... then claimed, copyrighted and exploited. Are they the songs of the people or the songs of the few?"

Originally released on CD back in 2011, 'We Know Where The Time Goes' promptly sold out and was immediately deleted. Over the years it has become something of a cult item.

Remastered and cut by Helmut Erler at D&M, this limited 230 copy pressing represents its long-awaited outing on vinyl. The LP is housed in a full-colour sleeve with an insert detailing the many winding sonic paths we're taken down. It may well become something of a cult item.

“We stole the songs. This is not a revival. This is a revolution.” (Karl Dallas)

REALLY wish I'd subscribed sooner to be able to enjoy this on vinyl! Curious the artist cited 12 Monkeys and not La Jetee as one of the key inspirations. For me, this has a more somber, introspective and timeless feel more akin to La Jetee than 12 Monkeys (though I also am a big fan of Terry Gilliam). Gorgeous music and you get the bonus of a list of excellent movies to enjoy (another note to the artist: Time Crimes is also a good film to watch). Now to somehow procure a vinyl copy...

Fascinating chat with Mr. Concretism. Great to hear about his synths and software and the track by track analysis of The Concretism Archive vol.1 adds to the listening experience - more of that sort of thing please! Infinite Tapes
