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. 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. The KLF use an Oberheim OB8 Synthesiser, an Atari Computer, an Akai S900 Sampler, a Gibson 330 Semi-acoustic Guitar. a b Fox, Marisa (9 August 1991). "The White Room". Entertainment Weekly .

Wikipedia:WikiProject The KLF/LibraryOfMu/94 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. As had been the case with What Time Is Love?, 3 A.M. Eternal was originally a Pure Trance 12″ single released in 1989, before being reworked as the second instalment of their Stadium House Trilogy in 1991. It is an edit of this version that was included on The White Room. 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 The crowd noise (itself a sample taken from U2’s Rattle & Hum to convey the false impression of being a live album) dissipates to welcome a soaring vocal from Maxine Harvey which itself gives way to pounding beats, squelching synths and a saxophone solo from Duy Khiem – all hallmarks of the classic acid house sound.

It also has the single mix of 'Last Train To Trancentral' instead of the mellower UK album version, edits 'No More Tears' down from 9:24 to 6:42, and adds a little more wind noise at the end of the closing 'Justified And Ancient'. 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. 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. Shade, Chris (2006).
