this is one of my best songs ever, i love it so much, the news report ive searched for everywhere to try and find it RIP Jack Askidakos i want this played at my funeral, ive had so many drunken late nights by the fire with this song, star gazing , and falling asleep. this song is a journey
Whose giving it a bad rap? They just have less than exquisite taste in music is all. This has a nice dose of Pink Floyd. type treatment. I'm likin' it!!
I live out in the country. This entire album is a real trip to listen to whenever I drive west towards the city when we hit the bars on a summer evening, or on the way back home as the sun is rising.
my dad loves this song ive heard it time and time again over the years ...when he has it on in the car i pretend i dont like it but i love it because it reminds me of my dad .. time goes by he gets older ...just dreading the day he goes ...love you dad
@calvbowler1 Hold on to that.... I promise you that you'll love this long before your dad goes :) Even if not know that your dad loves you more thn you'll ever ever ever imagine.

@WhiteStripe99 Don't wanna feud with you over KLF's Music,which you like almost as much as I do (ie very much), but people who don't like this music have nothing to do on this vid. I do not like heavy-metal, I do not search that type of music vids.
@WhiteStripe99 I agree with you, the standard comments copied across every video like the "thumbs up if" ones all drive me mad. We're just here to listen to the music!!! Great music it is, if only MP3 and youTUBE had been about in the early 90's.
Reminds me of being 23 again, living at my grandma's home in rural PA... Having a bag of what was probably the best weed I ever smoked, taking baths, burning incense, and just relaxing and enjoying life. I can't believe that was 6 years ago, and my, how much life has changed in that time...
I remember listening to this in Glasgow when it used to Snow, I remember fixing my brake calipers in the freezing cold and I was listening to this almost 20 years ago, Now I'm living in LA and this takes me back, I have a brake caliper in my hands and the orange glow from the street lights paints every tenement down the road, I can hear the 5A bus going to Vicy Rd, it seems magical to me now.
The KLF made many fine songs, but this was their absolute BEST overall album. This particular track might be the album's standout. Many thanks for posting it!
if you love this album. they also did one called "space" just as good. the front of the album is a huge letters "space" in the back of all the little pictures youll see klf in spots all over it. check it out!
Just amazing still! Hearing this on an LP12 (see "record player - analogue - best way to listen to music") has got to be one of musics very finest soundseeing tours.
The news report at the end of this song is taken from a report on a car accident that occurred in long island in the late 80s. The name "jack" that can be heard in the song has no other connection throughout the album. But, anyway, this is the greatest album I have ever heard.
These guys were something else. Everything they did seemed to have a farcical edge (e.g. the trashy pop songs for which they are better known) Like their dark practical jokes, I think they viewed it as their own form of art. We'll probably never know because they're recluses, and I'm probably completely wrong, but I'm pretty sure this was one of the few serious pieces of music they wrote. To appreciate just what an incredible piece of work it is go and listen to the whole album, ChillOut.
The way they did this album was brilliant and the music that came out of that process reflects their genius. I can listen to this album from start to finish without skipping a single song. It's a masterpiece. There has never been a sound like theirs when you listen to ambient music. Some artists use the slide guitar in ambient music like Polmo Polpo (Like Hearts Swelling album) and Tom Heasley but no one can every duplicate what these guys did. I don't think anyone wants to steal their sound.
I would recommend the Polmo Polpo album if you really do love this sound though. It's very lush and has a sound that is unmistakeably original. I almost cried the first time I heard the first cut from this album, Romeo Heart. You have to listen to this album in its entirety to appreciate the full sense of what he is trying to convey.
it was like this for me, in 2003 with the ambient album ISDN by The Future Sound Of London, which is from the same period of (and very similar to) this one. I suggest it to you. and I will listen to this entirely, for I've heard just a song or two so far.
I am not alone :)

This song was written from the perspective of the other car jack was drag racing with.
That's why you keep hearing the haunting sound of his car going by.
It has all the sound clips from evangelists because you're seeking redemption for killing jack.
(If you don't know what I mean listen to the news report at the very end.)
