ISBN 1-85828-457-0. From #1 to number nowhere, Cauty and Drummond turned their attention away from the mainstream and concentrated, instead, upon ambient music. While Cauty founded The Orb, Chill Out (1990), an album still regarded highly by dance-trance aficionados, was released by the band under the new name of The KLF. Sadly, like the other records the band released during their ambient phase, it didn't sell particularly well.
