RSSThe KLF, two lapsed London art students who have also recorded as the Timelords and the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, exploit a different set of consumable anti-establishment poses. One of the first dance-music production teams to sense the limitless possibilities of sampling, they had a record taken off the market after Abba sued them, and have since evolved into creative modes less likely to attract the attention of copyright lawyers. Their first U.S. major-label release, The White Room (Arista), is nothing more and nothing less than a canny electrohouse album juiced with jarring jolts of beat and electronic noise. In theory I liked them better when they were subverting Whitney Houston. But anybody with the slightest tolerance for Eurodisco might as well start here.
