Anybody remember Brilliant? It was a one-off project for Youth (<B>Killing Joke</B>) and Jimmy Cauty (<B>KLF</B>). I've never HEARD this band - just heard OF them. Does anyone know if this LP was ever released on CD - and better yet - anyone out there have a copy? On paper this sounds like it could be great (produced by Stock Aitken Waterman - could be good, could be awful)...

Would love any info you might have.

Thanks!

I have the 12" of their cover of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (orig. by James brown) but that's it. It's a white-label promo. It is indeed produced by SAW, and it is a very reggae-tinged song.

You are right about 'Brilliant' and it's 'KLF' and 'Killing Joke' connection. Jim Cauty 'Rockman Rock' had just tied up the loose ends of 'Brilliant' just before 'The KLF'. They released in the UK between 1983 and 1986 1 album 'Kiss The Lips Of Life' an

It's me again. Here is a rather biased review of the band on Trouserpress http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a ... en_watkins
