The KLF were complete anarchists and their pranks, such as leaving a dead sheep at the doorway of the Brit Awards and playing at said awards show with a death metal band whilst firing machine guns filled with blanks at the crowd, were so notorious that the extent of their musical impact is too easily forgotten. How to describe the music they made? Is it acid house, trance, ambient, techno, hip-hop? Well its all and none of these, they were trailblazers for the big beat and house music of the decade, and they sounded utterly original. 3am. Eternal was part of the stadium house trilogy, alongside What time is love? and Last train to transcentral, and it was their biggest commercial hit on both sides of the Atlantic which was phenomenal given what a weird record it was - the video looked like it cost millions to make, which it probably did. Starting with a voice intoning This is the sound of radio freedom, machine-gun fire and the immortal line KLF is gonna rock ya!, the song has trance, tribal chanting, hip-hop rhythms, rap and futuristic sounds all the way through. It was a song that showed that whilst there were established rules for pop music in the 90s, that didnt mean everyone was obeying them. And what did they do when they had the fame, money and acclaim? Well they promptly disbanded of course, burnt all the money they made a cool one million pounds and deleted their entire back catalogue. Whilst its a tragedy that you cant buy KLF records anymore, they were so left-field that you wouldnt have expected them to do anything the traditional way anyway, and 3am. Eternal was perfect proof of how groundbreaking they were.
