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

5 out of 5 stars Great Band.......2007-05-16

This 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.

3 out of 5 stars Not a bad influential acid house album, but it's so cheesy and unaccessible that most non-acid house fans simply won't like it.......2006-01-04

This was a very influential acid house album in its day, but it hasn't aged well at all. It's not terrible, but most people simply will hate it. It's DEFINITELY acid house - you either like it or you dont (though some songs contain some interesting instrumentation ideas. As a whole, though, it's hard to listen to and very much a guilty pleasure). I can't imagine that most people would have fun dancing to this as that's essentialy all it's good for. I'm pretty confident in saying the only song most people will enjoy is the first one (which really starts about a minute into the song - it's still a VERY guilty pleasure). The rest are pretty hard to listen to, even IF parts of the songs are interesting (usually the electronic bits). I would've given it 2.5 stars, but its historical influence pushes it to a 3. Not recommended unless you're interested in the history of acid house or if you're just a die-hard acid house fan.

Highlights include:
"What Time Is Love? (LP Mix)"
"Make It Rain" (certain parts of it)
"3 A.M. Eternal (Live)" (certain parts of it)
"Church Of The KLF" (some of the electronic parts are interesting)
"Last Train To Transcentral (LP Mix)" (parts of it)
"The White Room" (SMALL parts of it)
"No More Tears" (it's not bad)

5 out of 5 stars One of the greatest music industry jokes has turned into a truly classic LP ..........2005-08-14

If you ran into James Cauthy & Bill Drummond today, they would probably tell you how much they hated the KLF (which stood for the Kopyright Liberation Front). After releasing "The History of the Jams a.k.a. the Timelords" LP on TVT (which features sample theivery that rivals the Beastie Boys' "Paul's Botique") and realising a #1 hit song ("Doctorin' the Tardis"), he two musical pranksters wanted to release a pop album, just to see how easy it is to win a #1 single. And you know what? They did just that.

If one listens to "the White Room" today, it's obvious that they were intentionally trying to make the most ridiculous album they could think up of. (Recall, they even released a book before this album's release entitled "The Manual: How to Make #1 Singles With the Least Amount of Effort"). This is a full-on yet masterfully constructed prank. Just listen to the lyrics of the version of "Justified & Ancient" that closes the LP (the one WITHOUT Tammy Wynette): "They're justified & they're ancient / And they know what time is love / Rockman, he's just made of bricks / and Kingboy loves his screws / The JAMS don't need no master plan / To do whatever, whatever they can / Oooh nah-nahnahnahnah" This is not high art by any means. Yet, the more one sees that it's a joke, the funnier the album gets.

But the music? For just about being 15 years old at this point, it holds up REMARKABLY well. Opening track "What Time is Love?", after the brief mellow chorus of "Justified & Ancient", a sample of MC5's "Kick Out the Jams" kicks in, and then full-on techno keyboards start up (which sounds like the theme that guys who made the "Mortal Kombat" theme blatantly stole from). It's a dance-floor grinder in the highest order, and harder than any of the songs on the album.

"Last Train to Transcentral" continues on the electro-dance-burner trend. "3 A.M. Eternal," though good, isn't even one of the best singles on the album. Though the radio singles are no doubt fascinating (and hearing Tammy Wynette, a country starlet, sing jibberish like "All Bound for Mu Mu Land" is very amusing), songs like the title track get lost in the mix. And "The White Room" is a fantastically catchy piece of work, featuring mellow almost monologue-ish verses (which somehow sound like Chris Martin nowadays), and an irresistable oboe (!) rythym line. Even the 4-chord keyboard melody of "Make It Rain" manages to make its catchy way into your head. And to balance it all out, the mellow "Build a Fire" makes surprisingly effective use of slide guitars for the penultimate chill-out song on the LP.

It's an odd contradiction of an album. For something that was made as a total joke and only to make money, it holds up to the test of time amazingly well. Sure, they may be waiting for World Peace before they record again ... but, for all we know, this could be just another elaborate joke ...

5 out of 5 stars Definitive dance music.......2005-06-14

It has to be said, although many have done so already, that the KLF's 1992 LP The White Room is probably the best dance music album ever recorded. Splitting its nine tracks between chart-friendly techno and blissed-out ambient, the disc covers a diverse range of styles which serves to make it all the more essential.

Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty were obviously well ahead of their time, and their popularity in the UK proves that (only five singles released, charting at 5, 1, 2, 2 and 4 respectively). They disbanded on 5 May 1992, and took their entire back catalogue with them, which included the legendary Black Room LP.

The highlights on this album are obviously the three dance singles, of which Last Train to Trancentral is the best. But the other cuts, such as Justified and Ancient, shouldn't be ignored.

This album is such a masterpiece, I've had to give it five stars-- the only time I've ever done so.

5 out of 5 stars Great Dance Classic!.......2005-01-20

Hey
the packaging is very missleading! I thought it was going to be two cds but then discovered that they added the single to JUSTIFIED AND ANCIENT onto the White Room Album which i thought was so cool! So i don't have to have two cds and keep trading.
I bought this cd for the JUSTIFIED & ANCIENT song but then found out that there are some great dance tunes along with some slow grooves. BUILD A FIRE is a great song to chill to. The other singles WHAT TIME IS LOVE?, 3 A.M. ETERNAL, LAST TRAIN TO TRANCENTRAL are very good and bring me back to the days in Bismarck. So if you remember when you first heard these song then they'll take you back!
My love though is JUSTIFIED & ANCIENT
STAND BY THE JAMS 7" (this is the radio edit and is only 3 min long)
STAND BY THE JAMS 12" (this is a longer version with a break that i think is very cool a guy comes on and explains about the Justified and ancient traveling in their ice cream van very cool)
ALL BOUND FOR MU MU LAND (this has Tammy singing the Chorus but Maxine Harvey sings the lyrics. This is 7 min long also. Very cool)
LET THEM EAT ICE CREAM (this is like a dub version it has the guitar form the song and the hype men talking but no words just the music)
All in all i love this cd!

5 out of 5 stars A Musical Treat.......2006-01-08

"The true mission of the violin is to imitate the accents of the human voice, a noble mission that has earned for the violin the glory of being called the king of instruments." ~ Charles-Auguste De Bériot ~

Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.

These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.

One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.

My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."

My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."

The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."

The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."

Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)

A musical treat.

      5 out of 5 stars The KLF are underrated in the US.......2006-06-03

      They are very much seen just as another late eighties/early nineties club band, along the lines of 2 Unlimited. A latter day example of what kind of band they are seen as would be Basement Jaxx or Fatboy Slim. Innocuous, fun music that critics and serious music fans don't take seriously.

      However, their music is quite good and subtle. Plus there's the fact that they were absolutely crazy and scary weird.

      4 out of 5 stars Justified and ancient.........2004-04-04

      This album was sort of an underrated classic of the early 90's. The most noteable tracks are probably the KLF Theme ( I think it's called justified and ancient ) and "Doctor Who and the Tardis" which contains an amusing sample of Gary Glitters "Rock and Roll". It's sort of tounge and cheek, the album owes a lot to the literary influence of Robert Anton Wilson, author of the classic "Illuminatus!" Trilogy ( conspiracy nuts, like myself, will recognize references to various secret societies in the lyrics. Such as the J.A.M.'s and the A.A.A. ).

      It's a fun CD loosely in the vein of other post rock/ post punk reactionaries ( like B.A.D the Mick Jones follow-up to the clash, Age of Chance, and later progenitors like the Shamen ). If you like that stuff, you'll like this. Although, it doesn't get 5 stars in my book because it just didn't have the lasting appeal of albums like B.A.D.'s "medicine show" or Age of Chance's "1000 years of trouble" ( which is impossibly rare to find, and utterly the best of it's kind. Innovative to this day! ). Still White Room is good and worthy of note, regardless. Anybody interested in a dose of sci-fi influenced early 90's dance music will like it. It's an old nugget.

      5 out of 5 stars One of the best there is!.......2004-02-23

      I owned this album in high school growing up, and it was my introduction to rock/dance so to speak. They paved the way for groups like Linkin Park & Limp Buscuit. If you're a true fan of Dance, Electronica or Rock, your collection isn't complete without this album!!!

      3 out of 5 stars What a great collection of old standards.......2000-11-17

      This is an exciting cd. It features the hits of many of the great tunesmiths of America. What a treat!

      I belive this series showcases six composers on each cd. With this format, there's no way to go wrong with this cd. The 101 Strings do a wonderful job of performaning these songs.

      Recommendation: I think it would be wise to buy this cd if you love the standards.

      1 out of 5 stars Second rate cast, horrible production.......2004-05-06

      I'm not sure why this CD is on the market. I first bought this CD not knowing about the multiple cast recordings available on the market, and I was sorely disappointed. The voices are mediocre, the accents are lousy and now this CD has just been collecting dust on my shelf for years. I think any recording other than this one would be recommended.

      1 out of 5 stars Live performance by a second rate no name cast.......2003-06-13

      There are so many GOOD versions of OKLAHOMA! available that only musical theatre collectors who want EVERY version of the score would want this. The cast is very ordinary... your local college production was probably done with much more energy. The live recoding just means there is audience noise throughout the songs and applause (not very stronng applause) after each cut. Stick with the original 1943 cast, the well sung movie sountrack, or the inventive 1998 London revival with Hugh Jackman.
