Nineties Revisited: Last Train to Trancentral


Original video located here. Accessed 3rd January 2021

Song title: Last Train to Trancentral

Artist: The KLF

Year: 1991

Why I like this song:

Recently I've been rediscovering the seminal KLF album The White Room.

I recall this act being a big deal in the early nineties: For many this was an indication that a new decade had arrived and this what it was going to sound like (that was until September of that year...). However the shine of the KLF wore off afterward given their odd publicity stunts - so much so one would forget this was an actual band. So how does the music hold up over two decades later?

It's loud, bombastic and could see where house music was heading: out of the clubs and into arenas. 
'All Aboard' indeed. 
And it's still a fun listen.
