prompting a certain US student not really into dance music at the time to ask "is this what raves are like???" -- playing sitars with bandsaws, etc.

I enjoy getting big air in my truck while blasting last train to trancecentral. unfortunately, and this is probably totally hypocritical of me to say so, a lot of the material on this record hasn't aged that well. I think I just didn't listen to it on repeat enough times when I was 14

I have both the UK and US versions (on CD) and the UK is much better, esp. "Last Train to Trancentral."
Also, the video for "3 a.m. Eternal" was the first time I had ever seen a cell phone. I was seven or eight.

This album is good, but I always felt it never reached the giddy mania of a lot of their singles by replacing them with more impressionist versions. Might need to have another listen. I love the KLF's philosophy and aesthetic. I miss bands like this - so early on in the history of dance music and yet able to create a complete packaged vision as opposed to just releasing dance-pop records.

"Build a Fire" was pretty classic, but I agree with the above in that I don't think it held up well (kinda the point, no?)
