The KLF

Following the success of Ambient House The KLF remodelled the last of their Pure Trance series and released KLF 008R - Last Train To Trancentral which featured an ambient mix (remix 1) and a trance mix (remix 2). Only 1000 of the 2000 12"s pressed made it into shops after half the batch had accidentally been stored by a radiator which had warped them. This merely added one more to the list of "must have" rarities avidly sought by an ever growing legion of enthusiasts. By July 1990 The KLF were ready to storm the music industry bastions with KLF 004X a Stadium House rework of What Time Is Love? The track would be part one of their Stadium House Trilogy, swiftly followed by KLF 004Y, What Time Is Love? Would go top 5. Shortly before this The KLF had spent eight days on the Isle of Jura where they filmed the uniquely ambient video KLFVT007 - Waiting. A limited number were made available through KLF Communications Mail Order later that year. Into the new year and the second of the Stadium House cross-over tracks KLF 005X sent 3am Eternal to the number one spot. Flushed with enthusiasm The KLF put the earlier abandoned White Room LP back into production re-recording the original tracks and including the hit versions of What Time Is Love? & 3am Eternal. But Bill and Jimmy had far from gone totally mainstream and as if to remind everyone they re-engaged in a little billboard graffiti. The White Room went silver in its first week of release and a month later they released the last of the Stadium House tracks KLF 008X - Last Train To Trancentral (Live From The Lost Continent Of Mu).
Another two months and the Stadium House video was released. At that summers solstice The KLF returned to Jura where they filmed the weird and wonderful Rites of Mu with its processions of robed participants, horned men and hand maidens of Mu, not to mention the ritual burning of a 60 foot wicker man. The film was shown on MTV and later released as part of KLFVT 91 - 1991: The Work, a compilation of promo videos again distributed through the KLF Communications mail order. . .
