The Best of Brought To Life - 179

1. NEGAZIONE - 'La Mia Mente' - Self-released 7" - Italy - 1985
'Whoooo!!!'  From their first vinyl release, the 'Tutti Pazzi' E.P.
2. KILLING JOKE - 'Are You Receiving?' - Malicious Damage 10" - UK - 1979
Killing Joke's first vinyl, the 'Turn To Red' E.P. was more unassuming. Who knew what was to come?
3. REBEL TRUTH - 'All I Know' - Alternative Tentacles 2 x LP - USA - 1982
One of the better tracks from 'Not So Quiet On The Western Front'.
4. THE EXITS - 'Apathy' - Way Out 7" - UK - 1978
From their 5-track 'Yodelling' E.P. Love the out-of-tune organ.
5. BLOTTO - 'She's Got A Big Boyfriend' - Blotto 12" - USA - 1980
The lead track from their 'Across And Down' E.P.  From Albany, New York.
6. THE XTERMINATORS - 'Microwave Radiation' - Radioactive 7" - USA - 1978
A nice bit of San Diego mutant rock now. Their sole release.
7. THE FRUIT EATING BEARS - 'Remand Wing' - Demo - UK - 1978
Available on Overground's 'Fierce Creatures' CD.
8. KILLING JOKE - 'Wardance' - Malicious Damage 7" - UK - 1980
Their second single. Much better than the album version.
9. REBEL TRUTH - 'Trickle Down' - Self-released 7" - USA - 1983
One from their 9-song E.P.
10. YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS - 'Final Day' - Rough Trade 7" - UK - 1980
The apocalypse has never sounded so welcoming. Their staggering debut.
11. NEGAZIONE - 'Noi . . . . !' - Self-released 7" - Italy - 1985
'Noiiiiiiiowwwwww!!!!' The cracking lead track from second E.P. 'Condannati A Morte Nel Vostro Quieto Viverte' - with pace changes a-plenty.
12. BLOTTO - 'I Wanna Be A Lifeguard' - Blotto 12" - USA - 1979
The lead track from their debut E.P.  There's even a video.
13. REBEL TRUTH - 'Child Hosts The Parasite' - Self-released 7" - USA - 1983
Another from their 9-song E.P.  A reworking of an earlier demo 'Monkey's Paw'.
14. KILLING JOKE - 'Empire Song' - EG / Malicious Damage 7" - UK - 1982
This was their sixth single. Probably.
15. DEFIANT POSE - 'Someone Else's War' - Groucho Marxist 7" - UK - 1981
Their only single (alongside their track on 'Ha! Ha! Funny Polis'). Read more here.
16. THE FRUIT EATING BEARS - 'Heaven (In The Palm Of My Hands)' - Demo - UK - 1977
Another track available on Overground's 'Fierce Creatures' CD.
17. BLOTTO - 'H.S.H.' - Blotto 12" - USA - 1980
Another track from their 'Across And Down' E.P.
18. NEGAZIONE - 'Cannibale' - Self-released 7" - Italy - 1985
Another track from 'Condannati A Morte . . .'
19. KILLING JOKE - 'Eighties' - E.G. 7" - UK - 1984
This is the one that Nirvana ripped off for 'Come As You Are'. The fact that they denied it speaks volumes.
20. REBEL TRUTH - 'Money Man' - Self-released 7" - USA - 1983
A third track from their 9-song E.P.
21. THE EXITS - 'I Love The Dole' - Way Out 7" - UK - 1978
An anthem for the unemployed from their 'Yodelling' E.P.  The spawny organ works particularly well on this one.
22. THE NITWITZ - 'She's My Fan' - Vögelspin 7" - Netherlands - 1980
One from their debut E.P.
23. YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS - 'Radio Silents' - Rough Trade 7" - UK - 1980
And one from the flipside of 'Final Day'.
24. KILLING JOKE - 'Dominator' - EG / Malicious Damage LP - UK - 1983
One from the 'Fire Dances' album. The Tube performance, however, is much better.
25. BLOTTO - '(You Can't Fire Me) I Quit' - Blotto LP - USA - 1982
And one from their full-length 'Combo Akimbo'.
***BONUS TRACKS***
