Although accredited on Whitney Joins The JAMS and Burn The Beat it is in 1988 when The KLF release their first record, the ground breaking, KLF 004T - What Time Is Love?
A far cry from the rap & scratch sounds of The JAMS the original What Time Is Love? 12" was a gloriously hypnotic floor filler with trance and techno mixes. The tracks were later remixed and released on KLF 004R. The next release was KLF 005T - 3am Eternal which as before was also remixed and released on KLF 005R. It had been intended that The KLF would release a new track each month for five months making up the Pure Trance Series. The next singles planned were Pure Trance 3 - Love Trance, Pure Trance 4 - Turn Up The Strobe and Pure Trance 5 - Go To Sleep / E-Train To Trancentral. Unfortunately the project was shelved before their release in part because The KLF had become pre-occupied with the filming of their motion picture The White Room a 45 minute road movie of their journey from Trancentral to the White Room. Although the film was never to be released a few "directors cut" promo copies have found their way into the grateful hands of some collectors and fans. It was while away filming on location orders for What Time Is Love? & 3am Eternal came flooding in from across Europe as the tracks quickly became club and rave anthems. As welcome as these sales were filmmaking is very expensive. To recoup some of their money The KLF recorded an entire album of pure pop cross-over tracks intended for release following the chart topping release of their next single KLF 010P - Kylie Said To Jason. Starved of airplay by the BBC the single bombed and The White Room album was shelved for another two years. They instead released a mini album of remixes and cover versions of What Time Is Love? JAMS LP4 - The What Time Is Love? Story. With the rave scene in full swing The KLF released JAMS LP5 - Chill Out, the perfect "come down" for the dance weary partygoers. A single 45 minute track of dreamy
Ambient House it was universally acknowledged as the definitive blue print for the genre. . .To Continue The KLF Story CLICK HERE
