The Best of Brought To Life - 238

1. PRODUCT - 'Sacred Wealth' - Clay MLP - UK - 1981

It was on Clay. It had 'Wars' in the title. It had to sound like Discharge. It didn't.

2. THE PIXIES - 'Rock Music' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990

Well, I've plundered 1990 again. It was the Pixies so I had to. From their penultimate album 'Bossanova'.

3. UPRIGHT CITIZENS - 'Bombs Of Peace' - Better Youth Organization LP - Germany - 1985

You've had the original, now here's the fast version. From 'Open Eyes, Open Ears, Brains To Think & A Mouth To Speak'.

4. CRUCIFIX - 'Prejudice' - Corpus Christi LP - USA - 1983

And here's the fast version of 'Prejudice' from their sole blistering album 'Dehumanization'.

5. THE PROLETARIAT - 'Pride' - Homestead LP - USA - 1986

There was a deeper, richer sound on second album 'Indifference'. Lyrically just as powerful as the first.

6. DAMAGE - 'This House' - Gnarl LP - USA - 1984

I don't think Damage ever ventured into the studio but they still made a couple of intense albums. This is from 'Sins Of Our Fathers', recorded live at CBGBs.

7. MERCENARY GOD - 'Italian Way Of Life' - Bootleg Records LP - Italy - 1985

From 'Challenge' - a 3-way split album with No Suicide and No Submission.

8. THE PIXIES - 'Velouria' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990

'And how does lemur skin reflect the sea?' Answers on a postcard. From 'Bossanova', of course.

9. UPRIGHT CITIZENS - 'Dead Blood' - Better Youth Organization LP - Germany - 1985

A second track from 'Open Eyes . . .'

10. THE PROLETARIAT - 'Sins' - Homestead LP - USA - 1986

And a second from 'Sins Of Our Fathers'.

12. CRUCIFIX - 'Another Mouth To Feed' - Corpus Christi LP - USA - 1983

As relevant today as it ever was. From 'Dehumanization'.

13. THE PIXIES - 'Allison' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990

Black Francis was clearly getting the girls around this time. From 'Bossanova'.

14. UPRIGHT CITIZENS - 'Swastika Ratss' - Better Youth Organization LP - Germany - 1985

A third from 'Open Eyes . . .'  - another re-recording of an earlier song.

15. PRODUCT - 'Use You Up' - Clay MLP - UK - 1981

A second from 'Style Wars'.

16. DAMAGE - 'The Dice' - Gnarl LP - USA - 1984

And a third brutal thrasher from 'Sins Of Our Fathers'.

17. MERCENARY GOD - 'Movie Movie' - Bootleg Records - Italy - 1981

If this one sounds a bit quiet, just use 'Apply Volume Levelling Across Tracks On Audio CDs' in your Burn options. Or turn the fucker up!  From 'Challenge'.

18. THE PIXIES - 'Dig For Fire' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990

Almost moved me to tears when I first heard this one. Not entirely sure why. Probably one of those songs about the human condition that strikes a chord deep within. Or something.

19. CRUCIFIX - 'Indo China' - Corpus Christi LP - USA - 1983

A third from 'Dehumanization'.

20. THE PROLETARIAT - 'Instinct' - Homestead LP - USA - 1986

Another version of a song that isn't even theirs, but a great song nonetheless. From 'Open Eyes . . .'
