The KLF have entered the new year by launching a new YouTube channel and making their streaming services debut with their compilation album Solid State Logik 1.

Last night (31 December) The KLF, made up of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, made a surprising return by uploading some of their biggest tracks to their newly-launched YouTube account.

The duo, formerly known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The JAMs, and The Timelords, also made their streaming services debut by uploading a compilation album titled Solid State Logik 1, featuring tracks including "It's Grim Up North", "3AM Eternal", "America: What Time Is Love?" and more.

Their YouTube account description reads: "KLF exist. KLF have appropriated the work done between the 1st of January 1987 and 31st of December 1991 by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelords The KLF This appropriation was in order to tell a story in five chapters using the medium of streaming. The name of the story is SAMPLECITY THRU TRANCENTRAL. The five chapters are: 1. Kick Out The JAMs, 2. Pure Trance Series, 3. Come Down Dawn, 4. Moody Boys Selection 5. Solid State Logik (Parts 1 &2)."

"If you need to know more about the work done by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelords or The KLF, you can find truths, rumours and half-truths scattered across the internet," the account description adds. "From these truths, rumours and half-truths, you can form your own opinions. The actual facts were washed down a storm drain in Brixton some time in the late 20th century. Further information can be found on a poster, fly posted under a railway bridge on the Kingsland Road in London on the 31st of December 2020."

Although The KLF retired from the music industry in 1992 and haven't released an album since 1991's The White Room, the duo returned as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu in 2017 with their book 2023: A Trilogy.

The KLF's Solid State Logik 1 compilation album is on streaming services now.
