The KLF - The White Room












This was a hugely anticipated album for me cause I had a lot of the singles and some earlier stuff by these lads. This album is so of its time wearing very baggy jeans, 28" bottoms, phat converse trainers and hooded tops. Life was good. Anyway back to the music check out Church of the KLF's big sound and the dreamy Build a Fire.

The White Room was a 1991 worldwide No. 1 hit album by British house music group The KLF. It was also the name of a film made by the group two years earlier but never released. The White Room LP was originally due to be released in 1989 as the soundtrack to the film, but the release of both was cancelled at the last moment. Most of the songs on the 1989 version turned up again on the 1991 LP in significantly remixed form, but of the original mixes recorded for the film soundtrack, only the single "Kylie Said To Jason" and a version of "Build A Fire" saw legitimate commercial release.

Track listing
Running times are given for the version of The White Room released outside North America. In the North American Arista release, samples of crowd noise from U2's Rattle and Hum album, used to segue between the "Stadium House" tracks, are removed, leading to abrupt and awkward transitions between these tracks; additionally, "Last Train to Trancentral" and "No More Tears" are shortened.

  1. "What Time Is Love?" (LP Mix) – 4:37
  2. "Make It Rain" – 4:06
  3. "3 a.m. Eternal" (Live at the S.S.L.) – 3:14 sample (help·info)
  4. "Church of The KLF" – 1:42
  5. "Last Train to Trancentral" (Live from the Lost Continent) (LP Mix) – 6:04
  6. "Build a Fire" – 4:39
  7. "The White Room" – 5:14
