The White Room by The KLF

The White Room, released on 4 March 1991, is where Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty gathered up the KLF's run of hit singles, "What Time Is Love?", "3 A.M. Eternal", "Justified & Ancient" and "Last Train to Trancentral" among them, and rebuilt them for the long-player. It was meant to be something else entirely: a 1989 soundtrack for a planned film also called The White Room, until the film and the first version of the album were both scrapped, and most of those tracks resurfaced here heavily remixed.

What's left is the KLF's stadium house at full blast, rave beats dressed in pop-rock production and sampled crowd roar, all put out on the duo's own KLF Communications with Cauty producing. It came a year after the ambient drift of Chill Out, and the darker sequel, The Black Room, never arrived: the KLF walked away from the business in 1992. In 2021 a Director's Cut finally went up on streaming services.
