This song is an important song in the whole evolution of house music. Why? I don't know. I just know it is. I have never heard this version before. Wicked. Thanks for enlightening me.

Well yes it is an important song, it was one of the early UK house tunes written by UK artists. Many here shout about how they did it back in Chicago or NYC, but the truth is that was always a limited scene, Chicago made it, but the UK adopted it, broke the electro/house conventions and made it international, and this tune is typical of that, the beat is adapted from Raze - Break for Love, the b-side uses the exact beat... well it's all circles within circles of course... one word.. Kraftwork.

reminds me of some lads from coventry I hitched a lift with , they had a yellow v-dub

I sat in the back of there wheels and after about 80/90 miles we came to our crash pad , suitably chilled  I tried to get out but my feet where stuck, frozen in a pool of ice that had set around my feet and ankles ........dont know why I didnt notice ....maybe 'chillout' had something to do with it

Oh happy days! :)

It was not before the internet and mp3 age that I finally found the different KLF tracks that I was looking for more than a decade! , and now I have almost every track released (mp3, not the originals) Fortunately I am not somebody who cares much about collectable originals! My thanks to all people who make an effort to share music online

Nice stories here: I'll add one: I heard this track for the first time in the back of a car, driven to tennis practice by somebody's mum. (either it was on the radio or she was a very cool mom) It must have been somewhat around 1990 when I was 14 years old. I loved it, but had no idea who made this music.

In the following years I would search for it without succes. Than by chance I got the White Room CD from a mate who threw it away. Frustrating, it had the wrong versions!

[octagon79]

eldorado you probably just heard the hyper-commercial stuff that came out. like 'america what time is love' and 'stand by the jams' the versions of the songs on 'the white room' are a lot better and the earlier 'pure trance' versions from the late 80's are better still

[eldorado303]

i was never big fan of klf, but its all about what you want to hear...

you can even listen to someone bangin some twigs and if you love it, thats fine...

i do remember klf and some thing about a train... i guess it was on tv...

oh well

[Ghost184LuvsMusic]

I sure do miss my KLF cds :(

I heard of the saga some year ago. They where in Sweden to seek a contract with Abba. But when Abba refused to talk to them the rumor tells that they decided to burn their supply of LP's to be burnt on som unknown place outside of Södertälje. And then that all of the already released supply should be retracted from every record shop throughout the world.
