"Adorations" is Killing Joke's first single from their sixth studio album, Brighter than a Thousand Suns, released in August 1986.[1] All of the releases were mixed by Julian Mendelsohn and Zeus B. Held, and produced by Chris Kimsey and Stewart Levine.
The single was accompanied by a music video of the band performing the song in a cathedral.
"Adorations" was released in several versions including remixes. The 7" vinyl single, released in the UK, France, and Spain, was a shorter edit of "Adorations", with "Exile" (also from Brighter Than A Thousand Suns) as its B-side. The 12" featured an extended mix as its A-side, with "Exile" and an extended mix of "Ecstasy" on the B-side.
"Adorations (The Supernatural Mix)" was released on 12" vinyl in the UK and featured "Love Like Blood (The '86 Remix)" and "Exile" as B-sides.
E.G. also released a 7" limited-edition double vinyl single exclusively in the UK featuring the remix of "Adorations" as the A-side, "Exile" as the B-side, "Ecstasy" as the C-side, and "Adorations (Instrumental Mix)" as the D-side. A cassette maxi single was also released.
