Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A crazy experiment in music-industry manipulation, the KLF remain one of dance's more groundbreaking acts. Having already scored hits as the Jams and the Timelords, Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty christened the KLF with Who Killed the Jams? Though they were originally considered part of England's acid-house scene, the KLF's high-energy mix of disco-diva vocals, rapping, breaks, and samples was truly club-friendly pop. The White Room contains three of the group's greatest moments, the top 10 hits "What Time Is Love?," "Last Train to Transcentral," and "3 A.M. Eternal." Amid their success, Drummond and Cauty retired from the music industry, deleting their back catalogue in the process. The White Room is a fitting (if somewhat short) epitaph that stands the test of time. Its futuristic musical themes are somewhat silly, but genuine musicianship makes the songs themselves quality fun. --Liisa Ladouceur Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - A bit strange and silly but lots of innovative fun! The KLF had a brief career yet extremely high-impact on the dance music scene during the late 1980s and early 1990s. With their innovative use of stadium crowd sound effects, their music could very well be a form of "stadium house". Their 1991 album "The White Room" is the soundtrack to a film of the same name, a film I have yet to see. Yet despite all that, "The White Room" is simply among the most magnificent,spectacular and innovative albums of the early 1990s, or ever for that matter. For some reason, this band always ranted about something called the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu which eludes me as of writing this review. Note: This review is on the nine-track American version of this album. "What Time is Love" ... Read More: Rating: - 3 AM EternalKLF was one of the oddest bands in music history, a British project between Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty that crerated as much hype as they created controversy. They were known as the Jams/Timelords and lastly KLF and their speciality was ripping off classics and making dance remixes of them that would go on becoming mega hits. Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Gary Glitter and Abba were some of their victims but they got sued by ABBA and the in order to convince them they went to Sweden, but when they didn't find them they burned all copies on a field instead, keeping just a few and selling them as bootlegs. However, Bill Drummond had been around in the music business since the 70's Punk scene and exprimented with all kinds of genres. He released a solo ...

I love the songs "What Time is Love?" and "3AM Eternal." Some of the songs sound techno and other just like 80s rock. A loud but great upbeat album. Rating: - 3 A.M. IS STILL ETERNALI am still listening to this CD 16 years after the initial release date. The beats are smooth and never dissapoint. Love it! Rating: - Great BandThis has always been one of my most favorite CDs. I was leaving in France when it came out. I was always disappointed that it was not as popular here in the states. |
