The Best of Brought To Life - 094

1. DEVO - 'Devo Corporate Anthem' Warner Bros LP - USA - 1978
Instrumental intro to second album 'Duty Now For The Future' - their last great record in my humble opinion. Although the concept of man's De-Evolution was an interesting one, this album took it about as far as it needed to go.
2. DEVO - 'Clockout' Warner Bros LP - USA - 1978
First track 'proper' from 'Duty Now'.
3. THE RAMONES - 'Chainsaw' - Sire LP - USA - 1976
You don't need me to tell you how seminal the Ramones debut album was. Live version here.
4. TREDJE KÖNET - 'Fågeln' - Rosa Honung 12" - Sweden - 1987
Opening track from the E.P. of the same name.
5. UNIPLUX - 'Maledetto Rock' - Po Go 7" - Italy - 1984
Second single. From Rome.
6. FRITES MODERN - 'U.S.A.' - Boy Bensdorp LP - Netherlands - 1984
From 'Veel, Vet, Goor En Duur', a song lampooning American hardcore's need for speed.
7. RAMONES - 'Listen To My Heart' Sire LP - USA - 1976
Another from 'The Ramones'.
8. CARDIAC ARREST - 'Running In The Street' - Another 7" - UK - 1979
Their only single. From Lancaster.
9. DEVO -'Wiggly World'Warner Bros LP - USA - 1978
Another from 'Duty Now For The Future'. Something to do with 'string theory'?
10. EXPO - 'Racing Guys' - Epic LP - Netherlands - 1978
From their only album 'Not-A-Talk-A', a diverse affair for '78.
11. RAMONES - 'Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World' Sire LP - USA - 1976
A third from 'The Ramones'.
12. DIGITAL DINOSAURS - 'Don't Call Us' - Kamaflage 7" - UK - 1981
One-off single by the kids from the Bryn Alyn community from North Wales, a home for disadvantaged and handicapped boys and girls which was shut down in 1997 due to horrific practises.
13. CLUB X - 'Under My Thumb' - Teldec 7" - Germany - 1983
A good old Rolling Stones cover, similar to the Social Distortion version, but different.
14. THE RAMONES - 'Glad To See You Go' - Sire LP - USA - 1977
The opening track from second album 'Leave Home'. Live here.
15. DEVO - 'Secret Agent Man' - Warner Bros LP - USA - 1979
Another cover version, and a fourth from 'Duty Now For The Future' which was also released as a 7". Scary video here.
16. EXPO - 'Wherever You Are' - Epic LP - Netherlands - 1978
Another from 'Not-A-Talk-A'.
17. THE RAMONES - Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment' Sire LP - USA - 1977
The second track from 'Leave Home'. Live here.
18. TREDJE KÖNET - 'Universums Djup' Rosa Honung 12" - Sweden - 1987
Another track from the 'Fågeln' E.P.
19. FRITES MODERN - 'Je Bent Een Puist In Mijn Nek' - Boy Bensdorp LP - Netherlands - 1984
Another from 'Veel, Vet, Goor En Duur'.
20. THE RAMONES - 'Carbona Not Glue' - Sire LP - USA - 1977
The track from 'Leave Home' which got deleted when the company that made Carbona objected to having their product associated with glue-sniffing adolescents.
21. DEVO - 'The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise' - Warner Bros LP - USA - 1979
A fifth from 'Duty Now For The Future' which was also released as a 7". Video here. Wahoooo!
22. EXPO - 'Buono Nasale' - Epic LP - Netherlands - 1978
