Just found this article in this week's Melody Maker (5/3/94), thought it might
be of some interest:

Merry Pranksters

Have the KLF sneaked back into the recording studio?
Or is somebody pulling a fast one on the Kings Of Con?

JIMI Cauty and Bill Drummond gained a reputation as scamsters of the
highest order during their five-year career as THE JUSTIFIED ANCIENTS
OF MU MU, THE TIMELORDS and THE KLF.  In turn, they themselves were
targeted and even out-scammed on a number of occasions.  Despite
splitting up The KLF and leaving the music business to work as THE K
FOUNDATION, they've continued to attract more than their fair share of
pranksters, imposters and nutters.

There is, for example, WANDA DEE, the disco diva sampled on "What Time
Is Love?"  and "Last Train To Trancentral", who recently toured
America and Australia with a troupe of scantily-clad male dancers
under the name THE KLF EXPERIENCE.  There have also been records like
HARDCORE OUTLAW's "It's Weird Out West", a thinly disguised version of
"It's Grim Up North", and PRESIDENT BASS' "Guns Of Mu Mu", both of
which are the work of London KLF freak Michael Mac.  And let's not
forget last year's "Justified And Asian" by THE KK KINGS.

The latest group to be associated with Cauty and Drummond are XSX.
Also known as X$X, over the last few months they have released a CD
and a number of cassettes, the sleeves of which use the same style of
artwork as that of The K Foundation's adverts and bear Cauty and
Drummond's current box number address.  The group have also
distributed flyers boasting messages such as "Who Killed The KLF?"

The XSX CD is called "The Black Room", the title of the unfinished
album which The KLF recorded with Extreme Noise Terror, and features
70 minutes of silence apart from the words "Don't buy 'The Black
Room'".  Their most recent cassette is "Now 1997", a play on The
JAMMs' "1987 - What The F***'s Going On?" LP.  This includes extensive
samples of The KLF and snatches of telephone conversations between a
member of XSX and a voice purporting to be Bill Drummond.

XSX's self-styled publicist, MICHAEL KEARNEY, aka Michael K, says the
group has three core members, including "a mysterious Jimi C".  Beyond
this, he is unwilling to divulge any information about the identity of
those involved.  Kearney does, however, claim that he was responsible
for some of the footage used in the behind the scenes documentary
tagged on the end of The KLF's "Stadium House" video.  He also says
that he is connected with Mickey McElwee, the central character in The
KLF's abandoned motion picture, "The White Room".

Mick Houghton, The KLF/K Foundation press officer, has consistently
denied that Cauty and Drummond have any association with XSX, while
Bill Butt, the director of "Stadium House", says he cannot recall
anybody called Michael Kearney or Michael K being involved in the
project.  Scott Piering, The KLF's radio plugger, is similarly
sceptical of Kearney's claims.

"This guy has a very complex general scheme and I don't fully
understand his purpose," says Piering.  "But it's certainly more to do
with guerilla media manipulation than music.  He's deeply absorbed in
what he's doing, but I have a feeling that he's a bit deluded, if not
demented."

Jimi Cauty and Bill Drummond, meanwhile, are unconcerned.  As they
have repeatedly declared in press statements, they no longer wish to
have any involvement in the music business.  The day that is acceppted
is the day The K Foundation have succeeded.

Beware of any cheap imitations.
