[edit] Title
What's the correct form for the title of this song? Is it "3 a.m. Eternal" or "3AM Eternal?" --Flatluigi 01:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Good question. The cover image in the article uses "3 A.M.". Lazlo's discography says "3 a.m.". A KLF motto was "accept the contradictions". I don't think it really matters. If folks prefer "3AM" or "3 A.M." by all means lets move it. --kingboyk 01:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Song samples
How about "Live at the SSL" and "KLF vs ENT" (Brits or studio version)? --kingboyk 07:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yep, I agree completely. I have the ENT 7" but not MP3 so I can't add that myself. --Vinoir 10:55, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- You have the genuine item?! The mail order only KLF Comms release? Anywayz, turn your email on and I'll email you the ENT version and the Brits version. --kingboyk 20:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Sure do - the pressing doesn't give a particularly clear sound though, so I thought that this version was tuneless until I heard the MP3. Thanks for that, fella. --Vinoir 08:48, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Tuneless? On the contrary. I think it proves it to be a fine tune/song... Bill puts in a pretty mean lead vocal too! You're welcome; I'll resend the Brits version when I get back to my desk. --kingboyk 08:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- And it's "the E, the N, the T and the -ology" this time round. --Vinoir 10:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The White Room OST
A minor point perhaps, but my mp3 of "3 a.m. Eternal (The White Room OST version)" sounds very much like an edit of the Pure Trance Original. Either I've got a mis-named mp3 and have never heard the OST version, or it's wrong for us to claim elsewhere that only a "Build a Fire" remix and "Kylie Said to Jason" were officially aired. Can you shed any light? Thanks. --Vinoir 00:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Any negative reviews available?
One would hope that somebody thought the record unmitigated crap? :) (Although I have to admit, I was into rock music at the time and this was one of the key records in opening me up to electronica). --kingboyk 14:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm. If they did, they haven't yet graced the Library. 808 State were angry - does that count? (And I haven't found a decent ref for that yet either) I had the pleasure of hearing the Blue Danube Orbital for the first time within the last year. I like it when that happens. --Vinoir 18:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- What were they angry about? --kingboyk 18:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, here's what the FAQ reckons (link): The KLF had nicked 3 a.m. Eternal's signatory beeps from an 808 State track called "Tunes Splits the Atom". 808 State had themselves nicked that from "I Am The Resurrection" (if it's true it must've been a remix, but the FAQ doesn't say so), for which The Stone Roses demanded royalties. --Vinoir 20:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- If we had a source it could go into the article... --kingboyk 23:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Elsewhere (I forget where, but it wasn't a 'source') I read that it was the bass from "Resurrection" rather than the beeps. Pretty confusing, because I'm sure nothing like that bassline appears in "3 a.m.". --Vinoir 00:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
