Homogenic is brilliant. One of the best albums of the 90s.

And the KLF sounds freaking awesome.

[JohnnyRocketFingers]

Yea, they are very different to same the least but it seems as though every artist who makes a great album in the electronica genre is not your average every day person.

I got U.F.Orb by The Orb this morning and just had my first full listen through of the album and it's fantastic. It's almost 120 minutes long, another double LP following their debut which is about the same length, and it follows the debut by less 8 months. It seems unreal that a band was able to make 2 double LPs both close to 2 hours that are both fantastic albums. The Orb's Adventures... invented Ambient House and U.F.Orb further defined Ambient House and created a new form of Ambient Dub.

Both are highly recommended

The White Room by The KLF is my favourite electronica album for the moment

[JohnnyRocketFingers]

I love that album. What Time is Love?, Last to Transcentral, and Justified and Ancient are my favorites on there.

Yeah it's really great, they were working on a follow up called The Black Room that was going to be an Hardcore techno album, but they retired from music before they finished it

[JohnnyRocketFingers]

I know! When i read about that it made me a little sad. I love the KLF's work but there personalities were so explosive, diverse, and far out from the norm that there was no way they could have put up with the money-making centered big labels forever. They even deleted all the master tracks and backing tracks from their albums on the computers.

Also, I want to get "Chill Out" (the album that came before The White Room) a lot. It's much more ambient oriented than the house/dance music of The White Room.
