KILLING JOKE - BRIGHTER THAN A 1000 SUNS - DOUBLE VINYL TEST PRESSING
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns is the sixth album by English post-punk group Killing Joke. It was released in 1986 on LP, on CD and on cassette by EG Records. The CD and cassette versions have three bonus tracks. The music on Killing Joke's sixth album, Brighter than a Thousand Suns (1986), was mostly similar in sound and mood to "Love like Blood". While no less aggressive and heavy than their older work, Brighter than a Thousand Suns diverged musically in ways that lead to controversy among listeners. In this case disagreements between fans and critics alike included opinions on whether the band was conforming with pressures from EG Records to develop a more commercial sound, to whether the songs were relevant for those listeners more comfortable with their proto post-punk beginnings. Those who are strongly approving of the work consider it a milestone - and quite intense - progressive rock album, and their most consistent work to date. Two singles were released from the album - "Adorations" and "Sanity" - and the band continued touring successfully until the end of the year.
