Doctorin' the TARDIS

When Doctorin' the TARDIS started playing, I knew I was in for a good time, and that's not even the tip of the iceberg I found myself stumbling down. A two-hour compilation edit of The KLF's music videos and films, 23 Seconds to Eternity, is possibly the closest we'll ever get to seeing the duo's cancelled feature film, The White Room, only adding to the duo's mystique further. Just like their music, ambience is everything. Having only heard the intro track before, I found myself swept up by each song and every moment, almost as if I were in a trance. The wild stylings of each film and narrative kept me heavily invested, from colourful post-apocalyptic landscapes to Wicker Man-like cults and velvety black and white vikings. While this is inevitably more of a glorified mixtape than a narrative feature, 23 Seconds to Eternity is a truly enlightening experience, preserving a significant period in British music and serves as a phenomenal showcase for the inventiveness of music videos. Although the film's success will depend on personal musical taste, the historical significance is undeniable. Even if you aren't convinced of the music's greatness, you have to admire the efforts of the band and their collaborators in trying to persuade you of it.

KLF Musical History

It is so nice to finally have HD quality after scouring the interwebs to get mpg file copies for the last 30 years. I am part of this history. I ran an FTP for the KLF group on xmission for over 11 years. Keeping all the videos in bad quality such as they were. Only sad part is they didn't include "Waiting" or the 2K stuff which is strange no doubt. There have been many releases from private folks in DVD format tha had most of the same content but not in as high a quality called "The White Room" and also KLF 1991: The Work.

I remember as a late teen waiting for them to release the full White Room only to get a VHS with the 3 videos on it, i still have the VHS btw.

The history is deep and i am a part of that history in the KLF Reenactment Society "Dj Renigade" as i redid "Space" album. Waiting would have made a great addition to this Blue-ray as Bill Butt directed it too.
