Encyclopedia > Jimmy Cauty

James Cauty, Jimmy or Jimi, also known as Rockman Rock, was born in Devon, England in 1956 and not much is known about him until, as a 17-year old artist, he painted a popular Lord of the Rings poster (and later, a counterpart based on The Hobbit) for Athena.

Following Brilliant and a brief stint with Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction, Cauty joined Drummond to form The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, a Situationist-inspired artistic collaboration that played out in various guises and media over much of the next decade, including an unlikely UK #1 hit as The Timelords with the seminal Gary Glitter/Dr. Who novelty-pop mash-up "Doctorin' The Tardis".

During this period, Cauty was also DJing alongside Dr. Alex Paterson at The Land Of Oz, the chill-out room at Paul Oakenfold's London club Heaven. Paterson and Cauty were soon recording and releasing material as The Orb. The partnership failed to gel, however, and after the release of the breakthrough ambient house single "A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre of The Ultraworld (Loving You)" Cauty left The Orb to refocus on his ongoing collaboration with Bill Drummond, by this time in full bloom as The KLF. Shortly thereafter, Cauty's contributions to what would have become the first Orb LP were released by KLF Communications as an ambient album entitled Space.
