This is an easy one for me. It's
The White Room by
The KLF. Not only was this the first CD I ever owned, it also impacted (albeit somewhat indirectly) my life with regard to literature, sci-fi and metaphysics. And it's a pretty cool CD, as well.
I was a big fan of
The KLF in when they released
The White Room in 1991. About six years ago I got curious about what they had been up to, so I began searching for information on the internet. It turned out that
The White Room contains many themes from a set of books called
The Illuminatus! Trilogy. So, of course, I went out and bought
The Illuminatus! Trilogy. It's one of the most fascinating and entertaining books I've ever read fnord.
