About
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns is the sixth studio album by English rock band Killing Joke. The majority of the album was recorded in Berlin during October 1985 with returning producer Chris Kimsey. The track "Victory" was recorded months later in Spring 1986, along with "Ecstasy" (the B-side to the Adorations single release), produced by Stewart Levine. The last track to be produced was "A Southern Sky" in August 1986, produced by Chris Tsangaride. The album, with the exception of "A Southern Sky", was originally mixed by Chris Kimsey. However, E.G Records requested that all Kimsey's mixes (bar "Twilight of the Mortal") be replaced by new mixes by Julian Mendelsohn for a more commercial appeal, against the band's wishe. It was these replacement mixes that were ultimately released. The most significant difference was the remix of "Victory", which extended the 4-minute song to over 7 minute. .
