Just typing off articles and reviews that are not online yet, I came across this one - you HAVE to read it, trust me! Don't know if it's the best or worst I have come across yet... --- The Face (?), 1991-??-?? (Ian McCann) Topic: Scary White House Experience Subtopic: The KLF - The White Room (KLF Communications) Ten years ago Gil Drummond was a roadie for Wirral band Big In Taiwan and Jimmy Doughty was a bored guitarist in Torquay's Spear Of Mystery. By chance, BIT supportes the Misties at the Great Yarmouth Winter Gardens, and for Gil and Jimmy it was love at first sight. After the gig, the pair drove off into the sunset but got lost in a freak snow storm on the A127. Lost on the Essex moors, they were suddenly engulfed by swirling lights and thunderous noise; they had disturbed The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu and were forced to take part in humiliating, mind-bending ceremonies. Now they're back with their most commercial release to date. Deeply rave-ish, any song on The White Room could follow 'What Time Is Love' and '3AM Eternal' into the charts, even if they haven't got samples as commercially arresting as Wanda Dee's 'Make You Sweat', that fronts 'What Time Is Love'. You get the daft 'Church Of The KLF', the cod-reggae of 'No More Tears', the soul-fired 'Make It Rain' and the (probable) next hit 'Last Train To Transcentral'. Their use of rappers like MC Bello (from the Outlaw Posse) and singers Ricardo and 'The Real Maxine' Harvey add credibility to what is, after all, the rantings of two old white nutters in serious need of treatment. Perfect dance musicians with a hard-core beat and a ludicrous edge, The KLF have got pop's ball and they're puncturing it with humour and energy. If they choose not to give it back - well, that's their prerogative and it's to our benefit. (9) ..::// Thomas Touzimsky Just because people don't understand you doesn't make you an artist. (Unknown)
