==K Foundation adverts== The first manifestation of the K Foundation was a series of adverts in UK national newspapers in 1993. The first adverts, in July 1993, were cryptic, referring to "K Time" and advising readers to "Kick out the clocks".<ref>{{LibraryOfMu|tl=news|mu-id=330|type=K Foundation advertisement|title=Divide & Kreate|work=[[The Guardian|Guardian Weekend]]|date=3 July 1993|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916113421/http://www.libraryofmu.net/display-resource.php?id=330|archive-date=16 September 2016}}</ref><ref>{{LibraryOfMu|mu-id=329|type=K Foundation advertisement|title=Divide & Kreate|work=[[NME]]|date=3 July 1993|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916112824/http://www.libraryofmu.net/display-resource.php?id=329|archive-date=16 September 2016}}</ref> There was also an advert for their single "K Cera Cera" which was "Available nowhere ... no formats" and which was not planned for release until world peace was established.
