The KLF
The Black Room - 8 Track EP

Album UK 2017 on Turtlestar label
Rock (Grindcore)

"The Black Room was referred to in interviews even before the White Room was released. Originally it was planned to be hard techno, then heavy-metal techno. Finally it was to be a thrash-metal collaboration with Extreme Noise Terror. It is unknown how much of each incarnation was complete before it was scrapped and recording was restarted. Jimmy Cauty said of it in December 1990: “The ‘Black Room’ album will all be this kind of electro turbo metal. It’s not really industrial like, say, Throbbing Gristle, because it’s coming from house and has an uplifting vibe about it. But it’s so heavy it will just pin you to the floor.” Bill Drummond said of it in 1991: “It’s the complete yang to the yin of The White Room. It’ll be very very dense, very very hardcore. No sort of ‘up’ choruses or anthems. I think it’s going to be techno-metal, I think that’s gonna be the sound. Techno-metal. Which’ll be... a cross between techno and heavy metal. Megadeth with drum machines. The Black Room was scheduled for release by KLF Communications for the end of 1991, which was put back to March 1992. At some point, grindcore band Extreme Noise Terror were employed, and the two bands were still recording in February 1992 when The KLF scrapped the sessions. This recording has been digitally restored and mastered from the solo remaining demo tape." The sound quality of these recording is poor! Track 1 to 7 are instrumental recordings Track 8 is the known KLF vs ENT version
