The KLF - Wichita Lineman Was a Song I Once Heard

[@pouyah5288]

i wish i personally knew someone who would appreciate this as much as i did.

[@zombiestars42]

+pouya haghani let's meet !

[@pouyah5288]

+Roodoo Zefreak this is so sad that we probably won't since i live in a hellhole but i'm going to listen to the playlists you've made. that gotta count for something right? :)

[@phuturephunk]

You're in the company of many, we're just all not in the same room. ;)

[@ianbain9483]

Yep there's lots of us..

[@landi76]

the white room is big enough ;-)

[@leesaunders8193]

Quite simply one of the most beautiful tracks ever made. Absolutely nothing in this track doesn't go.

[@duncannelson2033]

This helped me through my absolute worst lsd trip back in the 90’s…. now I want it played at my funeral

[@sculli722]

I hear that, they two albums, a joint or two, early summer about 7-8 at night, watch it get dark and be stoned while listening to these. Or come back from a night out, sit on your bed, open the window to listen to the world outside and look at the street lamps as the sun comes up listening to this, both special memories in my life.

[@auk0]

Got you ;-)

[@johnlloyd8109]

I meet music snobs quite regularly. It often goes like this... Music Snob: "The KLF were just a hit-driven commercial pop group. I never found them interesting." Me: "Have you heard Wichita Linesman Was A Song I Once Heard?" Music Snob: "No." Me: Music Snob: "Fucking hell..."

[@katiejaeckel5135]

This is my favorite track on the album.

[@eyeswideopendevushka]

Katie Jaeckel Yes, easily!!

[@brandonthesteele]

It's definitely the centerpiece.

[@dcobs123]

Such a strange song. Numbing ambient dread combined with jubilant classical sounding melodies creates a really vague, misty feel. I'm not the biggest fan of KLF or the kind of music they play in general, but this song has been hardwired into my head since the day i heard it. There isn't a single song that quite sounds like this to me. Good work KLF! You get an A+.

[@xannaduu]

B- awarded to you for not addressing them as The KLF. 😁

[@bigjohnnnie]

dread?

[@Vingul]

Dread?!?

[@dcobs123]

@@Vingul dread?

[@Vingul]

@@dcobs123 what is this dread that you speak of?

[@eyeswideopendevushka]

I never tire of hearing this. My favorite track from the album.. truly a Timeless classic. Brings back a myriad of emotions that wash over me from years past. I wish they still made music like this today.

[@tay.swiftymochapoo392]

Most listen TracC in the 90.s... Danke schön.. .. Swifty

Can't The KLF stop mucking about and come back? The world needs them now more than ever!

You don’t know how much I wish this was on Spotify

[@daslick6085]

It kinda is now.

[@joelmccann9869]

@@daslick6085 well their big songs were on Spotify like 3AM eternal and last train to Transantral but not their amazing ambient pieces

[@onnoneneedssex]

Just buy the cd

in 1990 i was 2 years old. i cannot remember anything from that times, but this music makes me feel like I do. dear God, the theme that first appears in 0:10, kinda played backwards, I never felt so speecheless. That nostalgy feeling is just unbelieveably distinctive in absolutely uncommon way

[@DomSaget]

The greatest chillout track of all time

[@SovietStatic]

Massve. fits perfect in any summer evening.

[@auk0]

Oh yes! Agree!!

[@Stormy4ya]

This song was missing on the Voyager 1 golden record.

[@jeanpaulsoftware]

I can now safely say that 'Wichita Lineman Was a Song I once Heard' was a song I once heard.

[@noga8974]

Madrugada eterna no?

[@lesmcqueen1693]

My mate Bob loved this tune. I love this tune. Good times. Party on.

[@mercurytiltswitch5378]

Hacienda Summer 1991 audio tapes brought me here. Until I used Shazam, I didn't realise just how many amazing songs I'd been listening to.

[@SteffenSchuchardt1978]

It later became "go to sleep" and then "last train to trancentral (album version)". Or was "go to sleep" earlier. I was very surprised when I bought the "white room" cd to listen to the "last train to trancentral" video version. I had the original version on the first record.

[@as-rm2nu]

Go to Sleep was recorded a lot earlier in mid 89'. They just jegigged it late 89' for this project after realising it wasnt gonna see the light of day on Soundtrack for The White Room. The original GTS is 6 and half mins

Shivers down the spine, im 18 again and floating in the ethers of the 4th dimension with len and gerald !!!

You begin to run out of superlatives. You really do. Just timeless, timeless music. I will enjoy this to the grave.

[@acidnrg1]

My cat enjoyed listening to it so much. It's not a joke.

[@dekadent6622]

good cat.

[@kuurgen]

this hits me the same way it did when I first popped the tape cassette in the machine and listened to this the first time. Sigh, I need like 12 more albums like this!

[@jimtriggs2869]

Got skint and sold my copy of this album for 45 quid, wish I hadnt!

[@Darren86cz]

Beautifull music!

[@marcosSilva-nh4xc]

this is electronic music is not drugs that is real music masterpiece

[@chisby5652]

[@GinodiFonzo]

Epic tune . . .

[@decoyoctopusra]

A deep feeling of wistfulness and nostalgia brought me here. Cause Justified and Ancient seems a long time ago... Too long. D:

[@ilurvejerkchicken]

ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER

[@markhansen4458]

I do. Enjoyed many early mornings.

[@chisby5652]

was always utterly captivated by this track and I still am

[@Zeequencha]

Always loved this track more than any other on the album.

[@Maddogonguitar]

'CHILL OUT' by KLF - best ever album !

[@liambarnard7031]

i always thought that the fanfare bit before the trancentral bit comes from the ascent to the next level tune from the 80s BBC Micro game, Ghouls!

[@MsMiguel70]

5:08 is like the brief shiny encore you were betting would've been too good to be true. Appreciated. Dumb ears.

[@antonelloorru7204]

Excellent tune

[@MrRetsof1973]

Speechless!

[@djscheisse]

1 of 10 records for the lonely island!

[@doko59]

Is it just me, or did this track evolve to last train to trancentral via go to sleep?

Listened to this with my mum and we loved it. Why can’t I find this on Spotify?

[@elenamastaka7557]

Pls notify if you do

[@Kirstypopdrop]

KLF deleted their back catalogue on leaving the music industry at the Brits in 1991 or 2.

[@TodGH]

Seems like it was on Spotify at one point open.spotify.com/track/6osFXd1ac4K8fZCP6qjtGO?si=z3vC5OYUQ7a6b7CMTehEhg

If i feel bad, good KLF always brighten up my day, so strange that so many people feel that, but musicjournalist,media not WHY can't they admitt KLF was and stays special like some other famous bands, cause they easy to download for free, ??

ceo's White magic totally ripped the main riff but it sounds pretty amazing in both songs...

[@pyllyntuoksuinenisanta6004]

But does this song actually relate to Wichita Lineman somehow? I don't recognize that it would have been sampled here.
