The White Room is the name of a 1991 worldwide No. 1 hit album by UK Stadium House group The KLF. It was also the name of a film that the group made 2 years earlier but never released. The White Room LP was originally due to be released in 1989 as the soundtrack to the film, but the release of both was pulled at the last moment. Most of the songs on the 1989 version turned up again on the 1991 LP in a revised version.
The White Room is also the name of a road movie about the KLF's search for the mystical White Room so they can be released from their contract with Eternity. It was filmed in the Sierra Nevada region of Spain using the money that the duo made as The Timelords with the 1988 UK novelty pop No. 1 'Doctorin The Tardis'.
The White Room was supposed to be followed by a darker, harder complementary album called The Black Room.
A strange, mythical White Lodge and its counterpart Black Lodge is also featured in David Lynch's hit 1991TV seriesTwin Peaks. Some believe that the creators of both these 1991 "indie" hits were guided by other mythical and mystical White and Black Rooms from the past.
