Mixed at Lillie Yard except A1 mixed at The Townhouse, London and A3 mixed at The Manor, Oxfordshire. Subsidised with the proceeds of an 80s novelty hit, the eccentricities, the vision and ambition of KLF, combined with their taste for acid house and anarchy, resulted in The White Room, one of the finest dance-pop albums of the 90s… The KLF The White Room cover It has a total playing time printed of 45:05, but in reality it's only 43:54.

They would have a fan following that could put them in the Top 20 but I was thinking, that’s not a real Top 20 record, that’s just your cult following buying it in a week and I’m not interested in that. I wanted to know that the records we’re making were touching vast amounts of people. That was incredibly important.”Last Train To Trancentral starts right after the string section and features a completely new additional verse from Ricardo Lyte after the breakdown. 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.

Love With a music press well used to their headline-grabbing antics and publicity stunts, it was best described by Select magazine. “It’s the last grand gesture, the most heroic act of public self- destruction in the history of pop,” they wrote. “And it’s also Drummond and Cauty’s final howl of disgust, defiance and contempt for a music world gone foul and corrupt.” It was the perfect epitaph.

Capping their year of extraordinary success at the BRIT Awards, they saw the ceremony as the ideal location to carry out one last act of rebellion and announce their retirement from the music industry. After performing a raucous version of 3 A.M. Eternal with crusty punks Extreme Noise Terror, they began firing blanks from a machine gun at the stunned industry crowd. The first of their Stadium House Trilogy, it is an edit of this Live At Trancentral mix that appears on the album. The single was their first hit under the KLF moniker and reached No.5 in the UK in July 1990. Duo comprised of Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond. Cauty was born in Devon, England; Drummond was born in South Africa but grew up in the Dumfries & Galloway area of Scotland. 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. One of the defining features of the “White Room” album is its seamless blending of different musical elements. The KLF effortlessly combine samples, beats, and live instrumentation to create a rich and layered sonic tapestry. This approach, along with their irreverent attitude and willingness to experiment, helped establish The KLF as innovators in the electronic music scene.
