White room (1991) [VINYL]

Product Information

The White Room is the fourth and final studio album by British electronic music group The KLF, released on 3 March 1991. The album features versions of the band's hit singles, including " What Time Is Love?", " 3 a.m. Eternal", and " Last Train to Trancentral".

Meanwhile, the KLF's single " What Time Is Love?", which had originally been released in 1988 and largely ignored by the public, was generating acclaim within the underground clubs of continental Europe; according to KLF Communications, "The KLF were being feted by all the 'right' DJs". [3] This prompted Drummond and Cauty to pursue the acid house tone of their "Pure Trance" series. A further "Pure Trance" release, " Last Train to Trancentral", followed.

It was important for me that The KLF was successful worldwide because I hated bands somehow who thought they were big and, really they were only in big in this fake world of NME and Melody Maker,” Bill Drummond told Richard King for his How Soon Is Now? book. As had been the case with What Time Is Love?, 3 A.M. Eternal was originally a Pure Trance 12″ single released in 1989, before being reworked as the second instalment of their Stadium House Trilogy in 1991. It is an edit of this version that was included on The White Room. The KLF use an Oberheim OB8 Synthesiser, an Atari Computer, an Akai S900 Sampler, a Gibson 330 Semi-acoustic Guitar. This affirmation in what they were doing continued with the eventual release of The White Room in March 1991. Entering the charts at No.3, it remained in the rundown for almost a year, no doubt bolstered by the further hit singles Last Train To Trancentral (Live at SSL) followed by two songs that were radically remixed for release as singles – Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs), featuring Tammy Wynette and America: What Time Is Love?, both of which were Top 10 hits.
