The KLF is a band you should know. Read this if you don't.
(click 'full review' for all the glorious text)
The Moody Boys is Tony Thorpe, longtime KLF collaborator. As Tony Thorpe he provided breaks and scratches for '3 A.M. Eternal' and co-wrote a few songs (and more). As The Moody Boys he released brilliant stuff of his own and remixed a lot of KLF songs (most of them really, really, really good), including an ambient-ish remix of 'Last Train to Trancentral' called 'Mu Vari'd Speed Version'. As Children of the Revolution (with some other guys) he (they) appeared on numerous KLF releases, and remixed '3 A.M. Eternal' and 'What Time is Love'.
OK?
KLF featuring The Children of the Revolution - What Time Is Love (Moody Boys vs. The KLF mix)
Listen / Buy: GEMM / eBay / Amazon.com
The song above, which is a kind of remix, contains a lot of stuff from The Moody Boys song 'Jammin (Ital Mix)' from the 'Funky Zulu' EP (1990), but the beat has a similar feel as the original mix of 'Funky Zulu' from that same EP:
The Moody Boys - Funky Zulu (You're So Fresh) (Original Mix)
It's a really nice release with good mixes, get it if you like his other stuff.
Holy Ghost Inc. released their first album in 1989, and are still making music. I have only heard some of their songs (the 1991 release below is my favorite) but I hope their other stuff is just as good.
Holy Ghost Inc. - Mad Monks On Zinc (Original Mix)
Very different from the stuff coming out at the time, super simple, and every element so effective. Very laid back and nice.
And gets better every time.

Nearly three years old and the MP3s are still working, its a freakin' miracle, you sir are a star.
I was waxing lyrical about just how good the original "Mad Monks On Zinc" Holy Ghost track is (infact I would go so far as to say its in the top ten of the best dance records of the nineties) to someone and offered to send them a rip of the track only to subsequently realise I cannot find the CD I burnt the 12 Inch on or any MP3s of it....so thanks the gods Reykjavik comes to the rescue!

Haha, I'm glad someone's checking out these songs. They're all hosted on my site, so they'll stay live as long as I'm alive (or I hope).
Thanks for all your comments, Saucer People!
