Line 164: Drummond and Cauty's work often involved notions of ceremony and journey. Journeys are the subject of the KLF Communications recordings ''Chill Out'', ''Space'', "Last Train to Trancentral", "Justified & Ancient" and "America: What Time Is Love?", as well as the aborted film project ''The White Room''. The ''Chill Out'' album depicts a journey across the [[U.S. Gulf Coast]]. In his book ''45'', Drummond expressed his admiration for the work of artist [[Richard Long (artist)\|Richard Long]], who incorporates physical journeys into his art.<ref>[[Bill Drummond\|Drummond, B.]], "A Smell Of Money Under Ground", ''[[45 (book)\|45]]'', Little & Brown, {{ISBN\|0-316-85385-2}} / Abacus, {{ISBN\|0-349-11289-4}}, 2000.</ref> Fire and [[sacrifice]] were recurring ceremonial themes: Drummond and Cauty made fires to dispose of their illegal debut album and to sacrifice ~~The~~the KLF's profits; their dead sheep gesture of 1992 carried a sacrificial message. The KLF's short film ''[[The KLF films\|The Rites of Mu]]'' depicts their celebration of the 1991 [[Midsummer\|summer solstice]] on the [[Hebrides\|Hebridean]] island of [[Jura, Scotland\|Jura]]: a {{convert\|60\|ft\|m\|sing=on}} tall [[Wicker Man\|wicker man]] was burnt at a ceremony in which journalists were asked to wear yellow and grey robes and join a [[chant]].<ref name="i-D" /> Chanting also featured in "3 a.m. Eternal", ''Chill Out'', a football chant was incorporated into "Doctorin' the Tardis" and – aggressively – chanting was used in "Fuck the Millennium". ===Promotion===
