The album continues the series of re-releases on music streaming platforms, announced on a
graffiti and posters under a railway bridge on
Kingsland Road in
East London, following the release of
Solid State Logik 1, the collection of remastered and re-edited hit
singles, and
videos published for the first time on
YouTube.
Come Down Dawn is a re-edited version of the 1990 album
Chill Out, with a selection of prominent samples from the original release removed. The omissions include a
BBC Radio 1 jingle from the
Friday Rock Show featuring
Tommy Vance, and direct excerpts from the 1961 composition "
Stranger on the Shore" by
Acker Bilk, the 1968 song "
Albatross" by
Fleetwood Mac, the 1989 song "After the Love" by
Jesus Loves You (both from "3 a.m. Somewhere out of Beaumont"), and the 1969 song "
In the Ghetto" by
Elvis Presley (from "Elvis on the Radio, Steel Guitar in My Soul"). The only addition on
Come Down Dawn mixed into the original content of
Chill Out is "
What Time Is Love? (Virtual Reality Mix)," originally released on the KLF 1990 remix EP
What Time Is Love? (Remodelled & Remixed). Instead of original titles of
Chill Out, all newly re-edited tracks on
Come Down Dawn are retitled to signify, according to the band, subsequent stages of their 43-hour journey from 1990, that run "from the Reverend Doctor Wade's tabernacle in
Brooklyn to the
Mesoamerican Pyramids near
Mexico City. All tracks were recorded live at their Trancentral studio in late 1989, and feature
Graham Lee on
pedal steel guitar. == Track listing ==
