Reviews (page 5 of 7)
Only one song is available on Spotify and I didn't particularly enjoy it that much.
Kann ich leider nicht anhören. Es gibt aber diverse Playlisten mit der Musik. Ist aber nicht mein Geschmack.
Ebismusik 🤢 inte så illa som jag trodde dock.
Rätt härligt men mest OK
Had to listen to the “Directors Cut” version.. wasn’t great
Apparently these guys burned a million quid in the back of some boathouse as an artistic statement about how wealth controls people more than people control wealth. That's a million pounds that could've gone to any charity. Sure, it's not as bad as anything the billionaires are doing, but it's still pretty damn morally objectionable. As for the music... it's pretty bad. There's a reason people say EDM aged poorly – today's audiences want intense, complex, catchy material – though frankly I can't even understand what the appeal back in the 90s was. There's extremely little to absorb in each song, hardly any chord progressions or melodies of interest, hooks that technically exist on paper but are just bland and annoying in practice, close to zero musicianship, weak lyricism... Be honest, would you want to go to a KLF concert? Or perform a cover of a KLF song? Yeah, figured. I can't imagine these are very fun songs to perform as a musician. My attempt at a track-by-track breakdown, as you'll see below, was kind of futile, because the tracks sounded pretty similar. The Spotify version is missing most tracks, so I listened to the 1991 North American release on YouTube instead. That's the one that starts with a Justified And Ancient excerpt, a somewhat lacklustre electronic dance piece that shifts directly into the similarly uninteresting What Time is Love?. That's about all the duo has going in terms of intrigue and originality: song transitions. You can tell this was intended to be played as a cohesive piece of art. Another solid transition brings us into Make It Rain, where we at least get a melodic instrument other than the weak club-shouty vocals. It's a sax. Decent, although only nominally, because something about its recording makes it sound... inorganic. Almost synth-like. After the completely forgettable 3 AM Eternal, we get some nice high synths in both Church of The KLF and Last Train to Trancentral. The latter definitely gets a shoutout, for having the first instance of ear-catching lyrics and some legitimately pretty cool synth SFX. Then Build A Fire gives us some actual physical instruments to work with. You're telling me these guys have heard of lead guitar, bass, and drums? I wouldn't have guessed. This is the first song I'd actually be willing to listen to again without compensation. Though The White Room drops most of the better, more human-like textures, it still has a decent groove. Solid vocal line in the chorus especially, and those low bass synths also contribute a lot to the song's danceability. (Man, could side 2 really rescue this record from the fiery depths?) No More Tears finds a reasonable, if ridiculously clichéd, chord progression. Coupled with the bass and (mixed down) guitar rhythm, plus the free, happy vocals, it sounds kind of like electronic reggae. I enjoy the piano instrumental in the latter half too. Justified And Ancient – the full version – sends us off on a decent but cheesy note. I like the line "They don't want to upset the apple tart". (Looking it up, it's actually "cart", but I like my version better.) Still, that first side of music is so horrendous that I can't give this more than a 2. 2/5 Key tracks: Last Train to Trancentral, Build A Fire, No More Tears
1991 release of euro dance house music. The songs are shorter, less repetitous and with more typical structure than house. Which is good. The female and male singers can also sing. However, the music sounds dated. I didn't dislike any of the songs but didn't like any either.
Assuming I listened to the correct cut of this album... yeah, not feeling this. Really boring, sterile, milquetoast EDM. It's got a Donkey Kong Country vibe to it sometimes, but whereas David Wise is a goddamn genius, this album is just putting me to sleep. I wouldn't be surprised to hear he was influenced by The KLF, but where they fail for me, David Wise improved on the ideas massively.
I get the idea.
I appreciated listening to this as the music of a specific time, but it was pretty boring. An album can be influential without being actually that good
Maybe you had to be there. I don't get it.
Blinky house that immediately screams early 90's. Getting hold of the album was tricky because The KLF preferred to make statements rather than music and I remember them more for their publicity stunts than the now sounding generic house music.
It's okay. I don't hate it but didn't rise to three stars
Which of these 3 versions of the album am I supposed to listen to? Spotify is of little to no help. They have one song of the original album & the Director's Cut. (fancy) They all appear to have different tracks. Wikipedia & You Tube are slightly more helpful. They tell me there are 3 versions!?! Which one am I supposed to listen to before I die? Is there a version that doesn't sound like it's from 1991? The two good songs are the Train song & Build a Fire. So the notable song by KLF is Justified & Ancient with Tammy Wyanette on vocals. With the MuMuLand chant. (I do remember the song, that part) That version ain't on any of these versions of the album. It's frustrating. The editors can't be bothered to include a notable album with said notable song. I listened to the 91 version & the DC. The DC is slightly more mellow. This band's history is gonzo. Deleted their back catalog. 2
Only 1 playable song which was ok
Weird.
Not available on Spotify as they deleted all their recorded works and given some research they sound like wankers.
Could not get into it / slog of a listen … the techno beats weren’t fantastic and the singing was painful. 2
Repetitive and cringy, not least because of the over-the-top name drops. Sounds like cheap plastic for the most part. Justified and Ancient is the one redeeming track.
This was a hair better than most of the electronica we get. That’s not saying much though.
Tech-nope.
I don't hate this, which is shocking since it's electronic music. There is a dumb goofy element that makes it a bit endearing. I strongly dislike it, but this wasn't terrible.
I think I would probably have to be off my face on ecstasy to find this anything more than tolerable. Naff and tinny, repetitive and unmusical. Maybe if I was at a sweaty rave in 1991 the atmosphere would be different but 35 year removed and sober, this is nothing to write home about, but it's certainly an iconic sound, although the final track Justified and Ancient is so bad it is jeopardising the already generous two stars I am giving this album.
Honestly, I'm really starting to question if these are really albums I must hear before I die... Not that this is egregiously bad or anything, but I'm just getting a little annoyed by this streak of less interesting albums. This also annoyed me because half way through group's other stuff because I'd vaguely heard of them and I found out they made the album that coined the genre name of chillout, and it's way better rated. Anyway, this album itself. Very annoyingly repetitive, often pretty irritating vocals/vocal samples, and a lack of much energy, at least to me. It especially annoys me with all the vocals saying things like "To the bridge now!", or "Bring the beat back!" (before not bringing the beat back and just adding one short temporary noise), which just feels like a very cheesy and unnecessary 4th wall break. It's just boring. I was excited because I've never listened to anything like this but I probably won't be listening to any more acid house soon after how disappointing it was, especially considering the name of the genre (this doesn't sound anything like other "acid" music)
This sucks.
I know the KLF from somewhere, but where?? Oh that’s right, those are the fuckers that burnt a million quid. I enjoyed “Build a Fire” and “No More Tears” but the rest was pretty unlistenable for me.
Album 278. The White Room — The KLF (1991) Aaagh, almost all tracks are unavailable in Spotify again or in some other versions. Dull electronica 2/5 No liked songs
sometimes you're listening to something a bit out of your wheelhouse, trying to be charitable and objective, and a single moment can snap you out of your logic-delirium to impress upon you, unequivocally, hey - this actually is shit! for me, it was the motherfucker going "squing-a-bobby-bohby-bobby-boo blinnamorningbwinnamorningskinnymorning" just Constantly over No More Tears, a song which already features what sounds like the Ghost Rider bassline and a digitized oompah band. i am neutral-to-positive on the subject of drugs but i think they should never be a requirement to enjoy art; i can never, in a million years, imagine being genuinely moved by much of this unless made completely stupid and undiscerning by MDMA. i am finishing this record and wanting to write about being impressed by the scale of it, the towering acid-synths, the fact that i can never give 1 star to anything the bites Angelo Badalamenti, but then some asshole comes simpering over the track singing about "the rock-man's only made of bricks" man shut the fuck up! no one should've sung on this record. it makes the music so stupid and bad. there are moments where the stupidity seems kind of divinely inspired, which i'm heavily into, but if you think while listening to this (and not even about the record) it just starts to suck insanely hard
The full album is not readily available on Spotify. Dove into some of their other stuff though and not for me unfortunately
Listened to immediately after Tangerine dream. A welcome antidote. I feel like I'm in a 1980s night club in the south of France. Black carpet. Euro pop. Fun. But so repetitive. Sounds so dated. A reminder of how night club music has moved on. Its not so boring now. Not a listening album. I also think its the wrong album to feature - not their most successful .
I didn't actively dislike this, but it didn't excite me either.
Not too bad for electronica. Just not for me.
Background music to be turned on at low volume, nothing memorable.
Overhyped then and now. These guys lived off publicity stunts rather than letting the music do the talking
If I had heard this album in my early 20s when I did a lot more club drugs this album probably would have hit hard. As it stands in my boring, more sober mid-30s it just comes across as generic and forgettable.
Pas fameux.
Cool electronic album, but not something I find myself coming back to
I dunno. This is just not for me
Woof... this is exactly the type of Electronic music that I absolutely cannot get on board with. Ok I actually kinda did enjoy Madrugada Eterna quite a bit, seems they used a Pink Floyd sample that worked quite well here. The recurring problem that arises on The White Room is when these two Scots decide that we need to hear them sing, we absolutely DO NOT need to hear their lame lyrics or terrible "singing voices". They also tagged in a generic ass robot lady to chime in with some equally lame vocals. So I'll give them Madrugada Eterna but otherwise this album aged like milk on a dock in July. 2 stars
Not even sure if I listened to the right album. But definitely not good. I had the urge to skip many songs
i mean, it was an early 90's electronic album...
Listened to this album while driving through the deserts of northern Utah and Nevada. Repetitive DnB is not good music for this type of drive, or really anywhere but a drug fueled club. Jenn’s Review: “Every song sounds the same. Turn it down, it’s starting to give me a headache.”
The most boring EDM album I've ever listened to.
Meh
This one feels like you really had to be there. Not my cuppa.
Interesting. I had to go to YouTube to listen to this album. Not bad.
at least enjoyable
а чо мені доступна тільки одна пісня
Chaotic. As a piece of club/dance music it works, but it’s hard to follow the strands of melody/musical elements listening to it cold not under the influence. It’s not terrible but other than for nostalgia or attempts to revive the 90s/early 00s club scene can’t imagine why anyone would listen back.
I don't really know what this is, but I guess house music. I think this is border line euro electronica at times (this is a bad thing) but probably avoids that title for the most part. That's the problem though any whiff of what many in the UK might call euro trash isn't an ideal connection, and these early 90s hippy beats just further push it into dated chaff territory. I can't find a benefit to this music or really enjoy it. The "Atmosphere" is repetitive and corny, so any potential dynamic is snuffed out.
This review will be quick, because KLF - and especially “The White Room” - was constantly playing at parties in the very early ’90s. I didn’t like the music back then - and after giving it a quick listen, I can confirm that hasn’t changed. Admittedly, “Justified and Ancient” is pretty catchy - though in a children’s song kind of way, as was typical of the ’90s dance floor. At least KLF can boast that they helped shape that sound.
I didn’t hate it as much as I first thought when I headed the techno
Eh. Not really my jam and I doubt the intention of the artists was for the music to be enjoyed whilst pottering around on Excel
Pretty boring.
I lost interest over the course of the album
мне было неинтересно
Vähä tylsähköä, ei oikein mitään koukkua sisältävää. Siinähän tuo meni taustamusana, mieleenjäämättömänä.
Ei jotenki lähteny ollenkaan tähän hetkeen. Tämmönen jumputes ysärisämpylöillä ja vokaaleilla ei jotenki koskaan oo kolahtanu vaikka jumputesta kuuntelenki jossain määrin. Eikai siinä suoranaisesti mitään vikaa, ei vaan toiminu ja kyllästyin kuuntelemiseen hyvinkin äkkiä.
This hasn't aged all that well.
2.5/5. For the sake of clarification, I listened to the directors cut version of this album. It is very of-it’s-time, an album I can appreciate in a historical sense but don’t really care for musically all that much. There’s just a lot of 90’s electronic that I prefer over this KLF record.
Maybe good on the dancefloor for the retro minded. Musically, it's everything I dislike. I found it commercial crap when it came out and still do, except it's now also dated. I'll be generous because they wrote their own music (I think) and some songs are catchy.
Dosta neobičan album, zapravo me čudi da nisam prije to čula obzirom da su 90s moj đir. Ne mogu reći ni da mi je dobar, ali ni da je smeće, na trenutke je imao moju pažnju. 2/5, 4/10
Not for me. I know that this kind of production is a skill that requires a finely tuned ear. I just find the style wholly unappealing.
didnt do much for me! early 90s club
Fine? Kind of boring. Fairly monotonous but I can appreciate the British House vibe of it. Certainly no Fat Boy Slim but also I feel these two groups don't play the same game
2.5 - Meh
Not without merit, but I can’t hang. Still love Doctorin’ the Tardis, though.
I didn't like them in the 90s and I don't like them now. Justified and Ancient lifts them to 2 stars.
I dunno, it’s EDM (shoulders shrug)
I bet this would be really cool and really exciting if I was into the euro-house scene 30 years ago. Reading about these blokes, there's definitely something fascinating going on there. As for me, and this music, it's a deflated "meh." Maybe in theory I like this a little more than some other electronica on this list. But that's as generous as I can be. Fave tracks: - Madrugada Eterna - Last Train to Trancentral (da Force, Over & Out) - Build A Fire
It was the kind of album where each song threatens to get annoying, and then consistently makes good on its threat. I kind of liked the "choral" part in "Go to Sleep," but this rare joy failed to repeat itself for the remaining 41 minutes. I like the album cover though.
80er Jahre Synthisound. Geht so.
Not for me
Maximalist electronic pop and house built from pounding dance beats, ambient textures, sampled voices, and detached vocals feels like speeding through a collapsing amusement park lit entirely by strobe lights—absurd, euphoric, and constantly on the verge of self-destruction. The album swings wildly between stadium-sized dance anthems, ambient drift, and deliberate nonsense without ever fully settling into coherence. Its chaos can feel either exhilarating or exhausting depending on how much patience one has for its provocations.
Dated with a capital D, these beats and arrangements should never be played in any modern setting. I will never understand the neverending glut of bad electronica albums on this list. Is it really that popular or important a genre to justify all this? This album is nowhere near as bad as Deee-lite or The Shamen, but I still only liked one song; the rest of the tracks were a parade of awful late 80s techno beats and nonsensical lyrics. Very low 2/5
Disco/electronic like.
Honestly, this is everything that turned me off of electronic music in the 90s. Cheesy vocals, glassy production, generic beats, honestly just nothing enjoyable..
I think I wish this were just an all instrumental album.
I was hoping for something with an electro -dance-hiphop vibe, but this ended up being a little too ambient-chill for my tastes
I’ve got another year of this project. I don’t know if I can make it. Lately, it has been one clunker after another. Maybe next time I’ll do the 1,001 “greatest” albums.
90s funky electronic jams.
Not a bad listen but I feel like I got nothing out of it.
I feel like I don't see enough people complaining about how much Goddamn 90s electronic and techno bullshit this list has. Time and time again I find myself sitting through something like this, with each one being more generic and still somehow just as annoying as the last. At least this one isn't absurdly long like majority of the others are, but that's not to say it's by any means good. Still just a completely indistinguishable and generic pile of rubbish. Just one that at least knows when to end.
It wasn't bad, just really boring and background music. Music I feel like would have been playing at Express back in the day. Thinking it was edgy and different but in retrospect just kind of there.
This was ok, just kind of there dance style.
favs: go to sleep madrugada eterna (club mix) build a fire no more tears rating 2/5
Stupid electronic music
I had the Justified and Ancient remix cassette single when I was 15 in 1991. That's the optimal way to listen to the KLF.
I forget this album already so I guess that tells you something
Highlights: 3 A.M. Eternal, Last Train to Trancentral, No More Tears, Justified and Ancient (album version) Very outdated collection of various cheap hip-hop infused rave beats. I don't understand the significance of this record. It's probably just nostalgia bait for British rave junkies. There are multiple versions with different track listings under the same name, so I guess that even the band themselves don't know what this record is. It's very messy. Prior to this listening I've only heard "Justified and Ancient" (specifically the single version, not the album) and I liked it so I had great expectations, but this was underwhelming. The version that the record ends with is so painfully underwhelming and dull compared to the single version. I mean it's ok on its own, but it didn't close the record in a satisfying way. I wasn't pleased with the record, but having read the rough outline of band's story, I have to admit that they are very interesting. It might be that their antics are what made them critical darlings. I however don't intend to pay respect to these jokers based exclusively on that. The marketing might have worked if you were there, but when all is said and done, the final product is kinda shit.
Not my type of thing, but not bad I understand why people like this
Only one song available on Spotify. Not my vibe.
A mix of camp, boring and shite. Not complaining about the campness but I do have a problem with being bored and subjecting my ears to shitty music.
I wasn't there at the time. I was not born. But there's plenty of other music I was born too late for. In my mind it's a millimeter away from confessing it's all smoke and mirrors for nostalgia for your youth.
1.5
1.5
I remember "3AM Eternal" getting some play on MTV back in the day. Overall, this wasn't for me. I thought "Church of the KLF" and "Build a Fire" were okay, but mostly it's really dated electronica. 2.5 stars.
It wasn't until I was reading the listener reviews here that I was made aware the album on Tidal is not the album on the list; it is a "director's cut," which is substantially different from the original. I had to acquire the album by other means, which means I wasted probably 30 minutes listening to something I thought was pretty mediocre only to start listening to a different mediocre version. So, I guess that's an hour wasted. I really don't miss the rapping of the early 90s. Ugh. I'm not seeing the appeal. Probably 2.49 rounded down to 2.
Thoughts before listening: Euro dancey industrial I believe. I don't know much about the KLF. Review: Not industrial at all. Just basic run of the mill European dance music. I mean I'm sure it's fine for what it is, but it's not for me. 2-stars
The KLF have one of the great mythology-to-music ratios in pop history — a duo who became one of the best-selling acts in the world, deleted their entire catalog, then burned a million pounds in cash on a Scottish island as an art statement. That story is genuinely fascinating. The record, at least in the version encountered here, is considerably less so. The White Room sits at the intersection of ambient music, rave culture, and cinematic pop, and the ambition is real. The production has a spaciousness that most dance records of the era didn’t attempt, and the gospel vocal influences give it more warmth than pure electronic albums typically manage. None of that is in dispute. The problem is simple fit. The textures don’t connect, the electronic production creates distance rather than momentum, and the wailing synth that runs through “No More Tears” crossed from atmospheric into actively wearing. When the honest reaction is a preference for the Ozzy Osbourne song with the same title, the record has lost the argument. Worth noting that the version listened to is missing the two tracks most likely to have shifted the experience — “3 A.M. Eternal” and the Tammy Wynette collaboration on “Justified and Ancient” appear on some releases but not this one. A record that requires its most famous moments to make its case is already working from a deficit.
Don't get this at all
Pretty boring, but there is only 1 song available on Spotify. Not sure whether I should be happy or sad about that.
ok
This album must have been radical at the time. There are some nice elements to this album, with the singles being the highlight. Otherwise, it is a pretty conventional rave album that drags by the end.
Generic electronica tbh
2 stars because I'm assuming since it's on the list it's good for what it is but it isn't for me.
1.5 - Again, not for me. It is much better than some electronic music.
KLF is one of my favourite musical projects. I loved What Time is Love?, 3 AM Eternal et cetera. I bought several issues of the singles to get all the remixes. And of course I bought this album. And was let down. There are good moments in there, but overall I was disappointed. Still am.
Different album cover to the one that came up on apple. Bit of house is ok. Best of 1001, don't think so. But hey, loads of worse shit on here. At least its not crappy american rubbish. Hey donald, are you dead yet.
This is pretty awful for me. Just don't get it.
Spent the whole album just waiting for one little thing to come along and take each song to where you want it to be but that little thing never came
Þetta er ekki mín tónlist, misleiðinlegt og sumt kannski ekki beinlínis, en þetta má algerlega missa sín.
I actually don't mind a lot of electronic music, but yo... this was just straight up dull. Not offensively bad or anything, just... boring. I think the vocals made it worse somehow? I don't know. Definitely not for me, but also not really sure why this is considered fundamental.
The story of this band is much more interesting than anything they put out. I listened to the director's cut and followed it up with the tracks not featured on that to try and get a complete picture of this record as tracking down the original record was a nightmare. Regardless of what version I could listen to, this music wasn't going to be for me. I'll doubt I'll get on board with this type of music. Mixing an MC5 sample with pulsating music that sounds right out of a Mortal Kombat movie, 'What Time Is Love?' is probably my favourite song on here, but the song is soon tarnished with rap vocals that instantly age the track. Any good beat is dampered soon enough. It is relaxing enough to have on in the background whilst working, but nothing pulled me in. Maybe this hits better if you were off your face in a club back in the day, but if you need drugs for music to transcend you, then its not good music on its own merits.
Liked: No More Tears, The Lover's Side
..
Ponesto dobrih ideja ali na kraju zaboravljivo. 4/10 = 2+
seems like they didn't try very hard on this.
helt ok, ,lyssnade 3 låtar, inte rätt vibe kl 07
This is the last album made by a band who wrote a book about how to make a no. 1 single. They followed the formula until the end. The cool rave synth presets, the occasional real instrument riff, motifs borrowed from other songs. Musically, there isn't a lot going on here. Build a Fire is the standout - an ambient poem which may be speaking about the burning of £1 million which gained them much press as a swan song. No reason to revisit this album, ever.
God I struggled with this
Not my vibe.
Pretty good rave music. Absolutely not my thing but good. Liam gave me the lore here, they're a super interesting group. Like, 6/5 interesting. But that does not change the enjoyment of this album for me unfortunately.
I had become much too old to get into the rave scene. In fact instead of embracing it my job meant discovering intelligence to indicate where unauthorised raves were going to be held and then involved in breaking them up as they sprung up. So I was at odds with the actual music played. I didn’t take notice of the music but suspect that this album is an example. Despite all of that I did approach listening to this album with open ears and without any anti bias I may have had previously. Whilst I didn’t like the album I see enough in it to understand why the raver goers enjoyed it. But I do wonder if those whipped up to a frenzy by it still get the same buzz from it or was it just MDMA? Maybe we all nee a dose of E to truly appreciate what’s on offer here. Faint praise but still a lot better than the overdose of US rap hip hop on the list. 2/5 9/2/26
...not the worst, but I'll be damned if it's approaching anything near the best. 1.5/5
Interesting inclusion of steel guitar on one track, but still not my thing. If I want dance music I'd rather hear the Pet Shop Boys.
ik this album is from early 90s, but goddamn drop the 80s synth. not that big of a fan of this guy
Not a fan. Why the obsession with Micheal Jackson and Tina Turner?
Not totally horrible, but this is not my jam! I just found it very hard to listen to. I’m not into that techno dance music.
More hype than substance. Fine. 2.5
I don't really know what to make of this album. It's a hodgepodge of electronic 90s sounding music. The album doesn't have a clear identity, but all of the songs are in that general spirit. I would probably rank this as about a 2.5, and I'm not quite sure it made a strong enough impression to round up. So a 2 it is.
Before: No clue. I'm thinking rap or metal. Let's find out. During: Well, this is going to be challenging as it's not on Spotify, apparently. There's something that looks like it called The White Room (Directors Cut). Looks like most of the songs are on the Directors Cut , but I have no idea how they compare to the album versions. The first one I find is Make It Rain and it is definately not rap or metal, more like house-techno which I am not a fan of at all. Next is Church Of The KLF which is more of the same. At this point I start reading reviews, maybe I'll get some ideas of where to find the right versions of these songs. I did find the whole album on YouTube but it di not show the names of the current tracks playing but generally I think they were much better versions than the directors cut. 3 What Time Is Love? (LP Mix) 2 Make It Rain 1 3 A.M. Eternal (Live At The S.S.L.) 2 Church Of The KLF 2 Last Train To Trancentral (LP Mix) 1 Build A Fire 2 The White Room 2 No More Tears 1 Justified And Ancient -------------------------------------------- 1.8 AVERAGE After: So, I'm, going to give it a 2. I'm trying out a new rating system but honestly, I don't have a clue about "suitability for this list" or "relevance" for this album other than what I've gleaned from other reviews. 2 - my personal rating 2 - suitability for this list 2 - relevance ------------------------------ 2 - composite rating
Genuinely great instrumental music buried under vocals that killed it every time something clicked. Madrugada Eterna thumps hard and Build a Fire has a spaghetti western atmosphere I wasn’t expecting, but the Director’s Cut also swaps out the famous Tammy Wynette closer for something that sounds like a late 80s cartoon intro. A real loss.
Never heard of these guys, but I see they are an electronic music group, so I don’t have high hopes. The album came out in 1991. Track 1, Justified and Ancient, is just an intro track for the album, leading into Track 2, What Time Is Love. Hmmm, is this C + C Music Factory? It’s got a good groove, and that old school 1990s rapping that’s still a bit stuck in the 80’s. Wait a minute….There’s now a woman saying she wants to see me sweat. What? Did these guys rip off C + C Music Factory? It seems both songs came out around the same time, but it sounds like whoever put their song out first, the other said, let’s make an almost exact copy of that song. It’s so weird. Track 3, Make It Rain, is more of the same. I’m sure at the time, this stuff blew people’s minds, but today, not so much. But, it’s better than a lot of electronic music I’ve heard from the 1,001 Albums list. Track 4, 3 AM Eternal, reminds me, at least the chorus, of the Scissor Sisters’ Filthy Gorgeous, though I’m quite sure nothing by the KLF will be nearly as good as anything created by the Scissor Sisters. , This song is just a song. The rapping sounds like the C + C Music Factory guy. If I hadn’t felt compelled to write that note about the Scissor Sisters, I wouldn’t have even written anything about this song. Track 5 is Church of the KLF and it’s a softer jam thus far. It’s nice. I think this is my favorite song on the album. It’s not quite so frantic, and the singing is a bit better. But it sounds like 1991. It’s not great. This is the kind of music you’d hear in an action movie from the 1990s that takes place in Europe, starring Jean Claude Van Damme. At some point, Van Damme’s character follows a super-hot female spy into an underground rave. He and the audience aren’t sure they can trust the woman yet, but she and Van Damme tangle a bit in the men’s restroom before Van Damme gets the upper hand, and she tells him who she is. Then cut to his hotel room with them smoking cigarettes, post coitus, discussing the Eurotrash Big Bad and how to defeat him. Track 7, Build a Fire, starts off like a Pink Floyd song, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, I think. Now a dude with a thick Scottish accent is talking, yes, talking. This song has some country music guitar in it. Now, back to the Van Damme movie, the super-hot spy is singing Build a Fire. Maybe this is the song that plays when she and Van Damme are in bed making sweet love. Track 8 is The White Room, and sadly, it sounds nothing like Cream’s White Room. I’m not really enjoying this album, but I think if this were 1991 and I was hearing it when it was fresh, I’d probably….nah, who am I kidding? I would’ve hated this. It’s just not my kind of electronic music. Track nine, No More Tears, caught my ear for some reason. Though listening now, I’m not sure why. There are some nice Latin-flavored horns. But then it devolves into a guy singing nonsense. There are some ska elements in this song. Which is not my favorite music genre, but it does have a gorn section most times. Track 10 is Justified and Ancient, wait…that was track one. I guess track one was an introduction, and now we get to hear the whole trashy thing. The lyrics, along with the singing style, sound like this is a children’s song. “They're justified and they're ancient And they like to roam the land They're justified and they're ancient I hope you understand They're justified and they're ancient And they drive an ice cream van They're justified and they're ancient With still no master plan.” And there are some bells that sound like an ice cream van playing. This song is weird, but not great. As you can clearly see, I loved this album…..NOT! I was not in the mood for this, I guess. Especially after a great John Cale album that I loved. I have a high bar for electronic music, meaning, it’s got to make me want to dance. This didn’t make me want to dance. No idea why critics at the time loved this album. I just don’t get it, but if you like C + C Music Factory, you’ll dig this, otherwise, stay far away.
not my vibe I don't think..
Nothing I would purposely listen to, but it’s giving 90s vibes(or at least I think so).
"Go to sleep"... and nothing more. Pretty standard.
Hahaha
It’s that z shit it’s that z shit… 2
Electronic is hard for me to evaluate but studio album not on Spotify makes it even harder. Listened to a collection of different releases making up the original track list. Lots of energy in the songs. Fun but unlikely to revisit.
It sounds like everything else that sounds like this.
There are apparently many different versions of this album online, so I hope I found the most accurate version. It seems that this album was supposed to accompany a film of the same name, which was later canceled. Interesting backstory, and I'm sure the album itself underwent many changes in direction as a result, as I can't picture this being the backdrop for any movie to be honest. The first half sounded like the typical euro-house/electronica I was expecting. The second half was an odd departure to say the least.
Meh.
Never really connected with this.
My rating is based entirely on the 2021 Director’s Cut, since the original 1991 release — like the rest of The KLF’s catalogue — was deleted in 1992 and is now mostly a collector’s item. What stands out immediately is what isn’t here: the big hits (𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲? and 𝟯 𝗮.𝗺. 𝗘𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹) are gone. They’re still available elsewhere, of course, but not in this reconstruction. (Congratulations to anyone who still owns an original copy.) This cut focuses on the more atmospheric, conceptual side of The KLF, closer to the album they originally intended. Admirable in idea, but it just doesn’t work for me. I’m not particularly into this branch of dance music, and the Director’s Cut doesn’t change that impression.
Sure
I definitely had a preconceived notion of what this was going to be before I listened. Yes it’s electronic music but it’s super melodic. Fun background music for your day.
zou dit soort muziek niet echt opzetten als ik alleen ben aan het luisteren maar wel interessant also was beetje moeilijk om te vinden waar ik het hele album kon luisteren
Dit was gewoon lame
Feel like being born in 1997 and therefore never being around for the early 90s eurobeat scene might reduce my enjoyment of this album.
Niksig, 1 banger
a little bit kooky and hard to place. electronic i guess? there are some sounds and songs i vibed with. then No More Tears comes in with its mahoyney noyney 10 minute doodle bob monologue lookin ass and truly takes the tiny little breezey bit of wind that WAS in my sails straight out of my sails. if i liked the album i'd say it consistently surprised me and kept me on my toes, but instead i'll just say that it lacked focus. i guess it was technically amusing; at its absolute highest points it sounded like the *insert coin* menu music for an arcade racing machine. favorite song is 3AM Eternal
Rating: 5/10 The album and this duo have a really interesting story and history and they're British so their inclusion here makes sense. As far as the music goes I don't really know how to feel about this one and don't have much of an opinion after my one listen. I will give it a very fine middle of the road rating and move on for now, and maybe check out their other album 'Chill Out' one day to see if my opinion of the group is swayed
A bit generic.
Music which was only relevant at the time
Not very interesting, fairly generic-sounding albeit slightly above-average house music. Not really something I’d ever listen to in any sort of mood though.
some ok dance music i suppose
The story of the band is wilder than the album itself which is interesting electronic beats. The album is tricky to find, I listened to the Directors Cut on Spotify.
Didn't really like this.
I'm fine with the philosopy of the KLF -they made their own path and followed it throughout. However, the music is shite. Annoying and repetitive, probably quite OK if you are sorted for E's and wizz but not at 4pm on a thursday at work.
The funny thing is before I went into listening to this album I was incredibly prepared to defend the KLF from naysayers in my group. If you have any memories of them at all, surely you remember how they combined satire and genuinely interesting production techniques to build a uniquely weird pop mythos that emboldened the best of cheesy eurodance while drawing attention to how ridiculous any pop music is. The problem is they also made The White Room, which dares to ask the question: what if every album Orbital made in the 90s was equally spacey and four times as stupid? You can see where the comedy lies on the edges of every song. But then, if you're like me, you'll listen to the "stadium house" versions of every single after this album and realize that's where the magic lies if you, also like me, love ridiculous pop music and ridiculous parodies of pop music. The story behind the version of "Justified & Ancient" with Tammy Wynette on vocals is legendary. The wimpy serious ass version of "Justified & Ancient" that repeats itself *twice* on this album is fucking stupid, and not in the good way. From their inception, the KLF were destined to point out how easy it is to manipulate the pop charts and get the people moving. Shame they didn't follow any of their advice on their most lasting album.
really interesting production, very 90's sounding with some hints of 80's synth still holding on for dear life. this was cool, but its not on spotify so i wont ever listen to this again lol 5/10
Bit boring
Electronic
More like “The WTF”.
I place this in the IYKYK category. And clearly I did not know. I assume this is some of the better euro-trance out there. But again, what do I know. What I do know is how fascinating their story is. No doubt one of the more unique. Apparently jokingly wrote about how to achieve a hit song, then actually did it, then disbanded, burned all monies from it, destroyed their records and disappeared into obscurity. High concept art I guess.
Best jazzercise album I’ve heard in a while
Spotify didn’t have the album but I saw some video of them live….what in the world! Some heavy D style rapper. Some guitarists with sparks flying off his Les Paul with huge Marshall stacks but not sure I hear a guitar. Some dudes dressed like an African tribe. Ladies in white dresses a lady in red. Foil on the drum mic. All I can say is “wuuuut?” and give this a 2.
Pretty good background music while working. 2.5/5
Hard to believe this is a special example of anything
I kinda remember the highlights of this one from when I was a preteen. It wasn’t something that appealed to me then, and i can’t imagine that it’s something that appeals to me now either. Thankfully, it’s not really available for me on Spotify, so I won’t have to listen to it to confirm that. I’ll give it the 2 stars it probably deserves and consider this a bye day. Yay! Thanks, KLF! 2/5
Best Track - "What Time Is Love?"
I only got to listen to 1 track — that’s all that’s on Spotify and only a few other tracks are available on YouTube. It’s dance/club music, not sitting around music anyway. I’ll give it a 2 because it’s so influential that I can’t even find it to listen to 🙄. And it’s in a genre (dance) where albums are not as relevant to the listening experience
Ok. Not really the kind of music I generally like, but to be fair there are some decent tunes.
This really is not to my taste in music, however unlike some of this kind it was quite melodic, having noticeable tunes. It wasn't just a load of noise. Still not my thing. For me this is a 2.5.
slop
The first thing that comes to mind after listening to this album is "hit or miss." Like, the songs that I recognized, aka the ones that were legitimate hits, were bangers. Amazing. Really felt them for the combination of nostalgia and the fact that they were straight up excellent songs. Some of the others though either bordered on cheesy or were just straight up cheesy.
It’s fitting that the first song is called “Go to Sleep” because that’s exactly what this album made me do.
Solo había una canción en Spotify,... pero se ve que todo el disco es relleno
What a weird album made only weirder that there are maybe 4 version of it? This is so far away from any genre I like. It’s. Ok.
Techno with a side of hip hop. Not my usual faire, but this offering didn't hurt to badly. Don't think I'll put it in rotation but it's pretty good. Listened before? N Saved tracks? N Favorite tracks? Last Train ⭐⭐ Didn't hate it. Saved no tracks.
Deezer only had the 2021 director's cut, but I found the full 1991 album on YouTube. Okay background, but not something I'd want to just listen to. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): Build a Fire ⭐⭐: Didn't like it, didn't hate it. Saved no tracks.
Somewhere between German nightclub electronica and 80's fantasy movie soundtrack. Production is good, but I am not the audience.
Very far out of my music comfort zone, it makes me wanna dance at a club in the 90s but also that lowkey sounds like a nightmare
Wasted a nice walk listening to this
Listened before: No I hated it at first but around the halfway point some of the tracks started to grow on me. Most of it is still generic house but there were moments that weren't ass. Band has an interesting story. Still a 2/5 because pretty much all house music makes my blood boil
I don’t like it.
fairly basic electronica but that might be a naive take given its age. assuming it’s a very influential group?
The KLF are an amazing band and they are a spectacular art project, but the music does not hold up. Slathered in 80's and early 90's production, weird rap/pop and proto beats. Justified and ancient has a charm but its generally not good.
Not my bag.
The euro dance vibes didn't start this very well, but some bits of this are quite intriguing. Still not my vibe, I wouldn't listen to it again, but I'm pleased I did.
this was so wild and i feel like one of those albums i probably would have liked if i was around for that time LMAO it does make me wanna go full skins on drugs at a crazy party 🤍
buh
Hmmmm ok wow schnazzy! Honestly haven’t listened yet
I was kinda digging it until that last song. WTF was that? Like listening to xtian rock. Barf.
Listening to this album evokes a lot of memories from that particular time in my life, specifically, living in England as a 20-something in the late 80s. Going to clubs, dancing and experiencing British nightlife after having spent most of the 1980s in Aussie pubs watching live bands - a totally different scene and sound. The beats, the vocals and the whole style of music was totally new and invigorating at the time. Definitely a product of its time and still made me want to get up and dance. Would I choose to listen to it now? Probably not.
I was living in England when this record was released. I didn’t enjoy the music on release and over 30 years later my opinion has not changed. A record that has the band channeling the English folk scene and even touches of Led Zeppelin. I’ve tried again, but never to be listened to again.
Didn't do much for me, although I can see how this might be nostalgic for some - I probably had to be there to get this one more. Interesting production, they clearly have a strong idea of what they're going for but this genre doesn't seem to keep my attention for long unfortunately.
Another day another pretty nothing album. It happened. I listened. And I just got nothing. Build a fire was the closest it got but even then its not worth my time. Meh is all I got for this one. Meh meh meh meh meh
Acid house art project? Piss take? Dated? Yes. Best Tracks: What Time is Love?; 3 A.M. Eternal; Last Train to Trancentral
weird
Had to find the correct version somewhere else because apparently the 2021 remaster that's on Spotify is completely different. It was a fun album at first but after two songs it got boring because to me most songs sounded very similar
I didn’t really give this a fair shake-got about 10 minutes into it, but had to turn it off. Had to find it elsewhere than Spotify. I am interested to learn more about this band though, even if I guess I had to be there to “get” the music. Doubt I’d revisit it. Sorry KLF.
eclectic but bad genre
Interesting album. Seems quintessentially late 80s/early 90s. According to the Wikipedia entry for this album, it was originally meant to be a soundtrack to a movie of the same name that got cancelled. Probably would have been a strange movie too.
Another triple blind for me. Best listened to at a fashion boutique in 1989 during a dressing room montage. Not bad But also not necessary…
They were more interesting as marketers than as artists. A fun band to read about but not to listen to. Their whole schtick was dumb as shit. As a fan of Doctor Who and Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll, part 2", I enjoyed their earlier track "Doctorin' the Tardis"., but let's not convince ourselves that they were anything other than the clowns with zero respect for just about anything, and proposed to support every batshit stupid idea that came around. THE WHITE ROOM, is certainly is not an all time album that needs to be understood by anyone. The only track from it that was great but is no longer on it , probably due to five finger liberating fartoo many kopyrights, was "What Time Is Love?". I feel like there are way more other significant artistic and cultural contributions from electronics artists both before and after this album that go missing so that instead we can get this twaddle. The only interesting tracks ("Build a Fire" for example) that the KLF have on this album are interesting only because they stole the riff or sample from a more creative artist. What they do with it isn't all that interesting itself. Do yourself a favor, ignore this and go find Enigma's MCMXC a.D., Ministry's LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY, or Yello's ONE SECOND or Yello's FLAG, and listen to something with a bit more heft of intelligence to it.
Only 1 song on spotify
IIRC they were wild before this album. Kind of like the Prodigy. On this album they went commercial. I liked their older stuff better and it was probably more influential. I remember they played some award show together with Extreme Noise Terror, which was more my scene.
It's okay. Def very 90s.
Album 943 of 1089 The KLF - The White Room (1991) Rating : 2.5 / 5 As with most electronica, this one didn’t do much for me overall, though I can understand why it’s well regarded among fans of the genre. It does have its moments - some sections with actual lyrics and melodies that pull it slightly out of the full-on electronic zone - but just as I start to settle into those, it drifts back into the sounds and loops that lose my interest. That said, I can appreciate the production value and the creativity behind what they were trying to do. It’s clear there’s a vision here, and for those who connect with this type of music, I can see how it would hit the mark. For me, though, it’s just not a style that holds my attention for long. Still, I’ll give it credit for being better than some others in the same lane — at least it showed some variety and personality.
I wasn’t able to find the album. Just one song. Based off of other songs I listened to by this artist I will provide a rating.
Just nothing to it
4/10. No he tomado suficientes sustancias químicas como para apreciar este tipo de música.
Probably a decent offering if you’re into that thing and a good example of that type of music from that era. Just find it hard to keep my attention with that type of album.
Listened to the "Director's Cut" by accident, then found out I had to listen to the original release, STILL didn't like it. Influential I assume, but DULL.
There were a few moments on this album I liked, most of them instrumental, but overall it really wasn't for me. 2.4/5
dated
Nope
Sounds very of it's time. And honestly no track really reached out and grabbed me.
Meh
what a time capsule. they must have inspired heaps of other artists. not only music, also game soundtracks. that, or the whole decade sounded like that. not something to listen to on a regular basis, though.
Not as bad as I was expecting, given it's electronic music. I can see why people think this one is cool.
This album definitely has some good bits sprinkled throughout, but I feel like there is a certain goofy element that messes up the vibe I was hoping for. Best Track: Go To Sleep
Nothing special. Don’t really have much else to say about this.
Not a painful listen, but not a particularly good one either.
I was not previously familiar with the artist or album. This is a sort of dance pop album which has some Britpop and even some Reggae elements in some places. It's light and airy, and a little bit interesting in some places, but overall not super captivating. I would not listen again.
Ugh, this list has the worst taste of obscure boring basic British electronic music that should just be forgotten. No More Tears was alright but there's no reason for it to be 9 minutes long. Justified & Ancient was the only song I liked through and through and earned it an extra star. Not a necessary listen. Better than Daft Punk though
Parts were OK, just not my thing.
Not my thing but tolerable
All right, but not really for me. Sure it sounds good in a club.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeh……
I don’t think you’re supposed to listen to this without cocaine.
I’m a little less than neutral on this one but it didn’t have any songs that really hooked me. I’m also considering it a ska album because of the upbeats in one of the last songs
Just not my thing.
Fun acid house, if a bit cheesy in places. Loses some of its magic, by my ear, by being played through headphones on the way to the white-collar office job, rather than being blasted via ten foot-tall subwoofers in some filthy scouser club basement while off your face on mitsubishis. fav tracks: Madrugada Eterna, The Lover's Side
Sinto-me numa discoteca às 5h30 da manhã. Em vegetal. No início estava cheia de energia e estava a ser incrível!
Time for another unfamiliar (to me) artist and album. First impression it’s its much more upbeat than the electronic albums I’ve had thus far, but that doesn’t necessarily make it good… kind of feels like comedy with the lyrics “I’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting, we’ve been waiting…” right through to the final track Justified & Ancient. This basically sums it up: Franklin Soults stated in the 2004 Rolling Stone Album Guide that on The White Room, "the KLF became what they'd mocked with this enduring embrace of Euro-trash club culture. They knew their exit cue."
This was not absolutely terrible. I've read you had to be there to get it and I think that rings true for this album. I wasn't there so I don't fully get it. Will not go onto my rotation.
Electronic that has vocals invariably puts me off. Didn't get through one tune.
Build a fire sounds like Fish from Marillion is on it. I like the song Justified and Ancient. The rest of the songs definitely make me think of college and are fine in
It was maybe technically good, but not for me.
I’m glad I listened to the KLF album. I think that whole early rave era you had to be there. It hasn’t aged well. 1989 is a bit too early in electro timeline for me. 2/5
Sadly, KLF are more interesting than their music.
I wish I wasn't so deep into this list. After yesterday's album, I started to think maybe I should rate these albums not on quality or appeal, but on legitimacy of if the albums deserve to be on the list. I have a never-fading memory of KLF Mostly stories of antics, audacity of their book and 3 A.M. Eternal I'm not really into anything on this album except for 3 A.M., but I do feel that it absolutely deserves placement on this list. Like all those albums I don't really care for in the 90s on this list - I feel The White Room kicked it all off and for that it belongs. I'm still gonna rate this the way I've been doing for the past 500+ albums
First few tracks were good. Otherwise pretty ok-ish British house music. Not something I’d seek out again most likely.
Did not enjoy.
Jeg kendte The KLF for to ting: - At de brændte £1 million på en skotsk ø - Justified & Ancients syrede og fascinerende video der kørte på mit MTV i 90erne I den kontekst var det her album godt nok ekstremt kedeligt. Selv Justified & Ancient var en tam omgang. Hvad blev der af Tammy Wynnete? Hvor er den samplede guitar?
Interesting album not necessarily for me. 4.1/10
It's not omg-turn-it-off awful. But it's not my thing and certainly nothing groundbreaking to warrant attention here. 2.0
One's just not into it – and never was. The massively annoying "3 AM Eternal" is somewhat – but only somewhat – compensated for by "No More Tears." "Madrugada Eterna" would be better without the sampled vocals. Like so much club music, this feels disposable, forgettable and very much yesterday's news.
As an art collective making critical commentary, they are interesting. As a force of music, not nearly so much.
I get that it was fairly groundbreaking for dance music, EDM, and the like. But it's a little too same-y throughout. I couldn't see myself listening to more than one song at a time. There isn't anything that makes me want to turn a song off here, but two or more... I'm out! I like some others of this genre, and they may well have been inspired by this, but I thought it was a genre that evolved a bit later. (And of course there were a lot of shit imitators, too!)
Justified and ancient!
Another British electronic album. At least this one was quite lively. Still not my thing. 2/5 Won't listen again
At least there's some vocals on these electronic tracks. Not that I need them to enjoy music, but electronic music is mostly so boring to me that they at least help me differentiate between tracks. This wasn't an offensive waste of time like some of the other 90's and early 2000's electronic albums that have been on here, so it's getting a 2. I did listen to the director's cut though, so maybe that changed the original? Who cares.
I'll take your word for it that you had to be there. It just sounds so random to me, and the samples throw me out of the groove more often than not.
I know this type of music is repetitive, but it was repetitive in all the wrong ways.
I wasn't feeling this one. Seems very dated now.
Not sure what it's supposed to be.
The whole album has aged poorly. You can very clearly tell when this was made. There were aspects to some songs I liked, but towards the end I was eagerly waiting for it to be over.
One of the YouTube comments called this “timeless” like this is one of the most dated things I’ve ever heard
There is a guy at my gym that always puts on some electronica station which sounds like this. The music is ok but it feels like something that should be played at rave more than something released on a CD. There wasn’t any specific single or hook that got me interested. I wasn’t really a fan of the reggae inspired song either. Not sure when or why I would listen to this, as rave music sure, but as an album probably not.
Rave music- probably just not for me- decent enough though
My expectations were low and it met them. It wasn't terrible, but it's just not anything I would want to listen to again.
I don’t like clubbing. Much because I can’t dance, but also because I don’t like the music. After reading about the band, I really wanted to like it, but I couldn’t be bothered to spin it another round on youtube
Like, it's elevator music with 80s breath songing
Definitely don't need any more electronic music on this list. At least this has some vocals to make it a little more interesting than most of what we've heard.
Not my usual listening but it is well produced and above the norm for a lot of the dance tracks of that time.
Hörbar!
Вроде чем-то похоже на евродэнс, но нет, хуже.
noooo la polizia electronica noooooo
This album was in 3 star territory until No More Tears. A 9 minute heavily reggae/ska influenced EDM song with a 2 line chorus repeated way too often in between a dude scatting/falsetto scatting? Some might call that hell.
2,5
I'll start off with minus one star for deleting your catalog and making it hard to find. I don't know, seemed like just average house music to me, nothing really super fantastical about it
This is a tricky one for me to rate. I have never been a house music guy but I am a go with the flow guy so I took an edible, popped on the album and played video games. I really dug it while it was playing. Got into a decent grove. But even as I was listening to it in the back of my head I felt something was lacking. Next day I am thinking to myself how unmemorable the album was overall. No one track stood out, Nothing pulling me back to revisit the album or even seek out more from the band. It feels like it was only something for a particular moment and I am pretty sure without the edible I wouldn't have even had that moment. So I guess my review is I appreciated the moment but now it's gone...like tears in rain.
Nothing special imo. I was hoping for more commitment to the synthwave vibe but found the vocals too forward to really get into it, and some of the arrangements were wack. Feel like this was kinda caught in no mans land between synthwave and 80s pop, and it didn't do either one well. Would give it 2.5/10 but rounding up to 2/5 only because LCD Soundsystem American Dream has defined rock bottom on my score sheet and this isn't a total dumpster fire.
pretty sure i heard this album at abercrombie & fitch in the 00's. mindless drum machine wanking.
Oh brother!
Interesting mix of mellow electronica and Dido-esque contemporary music. Definitely liked the cuts with the female vocals better, Make It Rain being the best of them. L = (1.9*s) the songs started to sound similar. J = (2.8*s) liked The White Room and will check out more of The KLF.
Super German dude pulls up in a BMW convertible: "Hey fun boys get a room! Hahahahaha" That's all I have to say about this.
OK, but did not really get into it.
Not the worst electronica on the list, but it is still bad.
I dunno what it is with all these 90s British electronica albums. I dont get any of them. Maybe you had to be in the rave scene at the time idk.
Not for me
i remember the song 3AM Eternal from when i was a kid. I saw the video on MTV and it looked so cool. I never bought the album, but now it's been 30+ years i'm kinda glad i didn't spend the money that album for that one song. As i listened through the album they use the samples adroitly, but it's kind of a snoozer. Most of the songs have that "4 on the floor" beat and it get's kind of boring. They did throw in a song that has a reggae feel which was kind of cool. notwithstanding this won't go into the rotation. 2/5
This party music makes me feel like I want to go home while I'm in my house. Would've loved their million quid...
Olipahan toimintaa joka suuntaan. Ihan viihdyttävä ja sopivan pituinen (välillä oli aika rankasti paljon tavaraa), mutta silti olin hyvilläni, kun loppui.
🎧Yeah idk this would probably be awesome in a club/at rave but in literally any other setting, it does very little for me. Acid-house maybe just not my thing.
Le petit côté electro-beat fait son âge… Je n’ai pas accroché, et le mot qui me vient en tête est «racoleur»…
Not really for me.
Feels just like background music to me...nothing that stands out. Very homogenous. I'd never heard of them...and I guess you might not have if you weren't into raves. They don't have the original on Spotify but I'm guessing it wouldn't matter to much to me.
Feels a bit like Pet Shop Boys but these guys were pioneers? So prior? I could google but I refuse to research until post rating/listening. It's some nice feeling old school melodic techno stuff. It's a little cheesy sure but it is more pleasant. Reminds me of the beach and the 80's.
It’s hard to find the original release anywhere, but I found a user playlist on Spotify that pieces it together and I heard it enough times in the 90s to give it a fair review. Outside a couple of tracks (the singles) it’s just repetitive and dull electronica.
No esta en mi zona de confort
Some techno beats. Long and repetitive. Fine enough, but not something I'd put on
Doesn't do too much for me. I'm not an expert in the electronic music, so I'm not sure if this is unique or extraordinary in any way, but I wasn't blown away from what I heard. and nothing stood out to me. It was okay, in that half-listening sort of background way, but then again the sound of my vacuum cleaner sounds just as interesting.
Average album Some interesting beats but generally not my kinda music Ahead of its time sound wise
Ugh I don't like this 90s pop sound. Some of the good songs are only good because of their samples.
Von "na ja, wer es mag" bis "Wow, das hat was" ist alles vertreten. Insgesamt nicht meins, wird dann etwas nervig. Plastik
