The Best of Brought To Life - 244

1. PANKRTI - 'Kruha In Iger' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
Pankrti's debut album 'Dolgcajt' is one of the best Yugoslav albums I've heard, and by far their best. From what is now (and was before) Slovenia.
2. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Rock 'n' Roll Freitag' - Lava LP - Germany - 1979
You could say the same thing about Hans-A -Plast's self-titled debut. The one with the rat on the cover.
3. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Artificial Insemination' - RKM LP - UK - 1978
Meanwhile back in Blighty (via Belgium) they feared the future. From debut album 'Victim Of Time'.
4. THE OFFBEATS - 'I'm Confused' - Terminal LP - USA - 1982
And since I've been on an Offbeats kick you'll need their track from 'Cleveland Confidential'.
5. THE FEISTY CADAVERS - 'Flash Rocker' - FSN 7" - USA - 1988
The sleeve suggested 'Misfits' but the music said otherwise. From debut E.P. 'Dead Give Away'.
6. PANKRTI - 'Poèitnice Na Morju' RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
A second track from 'Dolgcajt'.
7. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Lederhosentyp' Lava LP - Germany - 1979
And a second from their self-titled debut. Going by the intro it could well be about Olivia Newton John's super-tight leggings. My German pals will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong.
8. FRÆBBBLARNIR - 'No Friends' Fálkinn 7" - Iceland - 1981
A track from their second E.P. 'Bjor'.
9. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Sha La La La Lee' RKM LP - UK - 1978
An oft covered old Small Faces song which they didn't write and didn't like much. From 'Victim Of Time'.
10. THE SEVERE - 'Her Name Was Jane' Terminal LP - USA - 1982
Another track from 'Cleveland Confidential'. I'm pretty sure the Pagans covered this one.
11. PANKRTI - 'Totalna Revolucija' RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
A third from 'Dolgcajt'. From my elementary Slovene classes I think it translates along the lines of 'Total Revolution'.
12. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Monopoli' Lava LP - Germany - 1979
Hans-A-Plast got very irritated when the couldn't pass 'Gehen' or collect 200 Deutschmarks.
13. JOHN LOVSIN - 'Key Of E' Terminal LP - USA - 1982
A lighter tune from 'Cleveland Confidential'.
14. 77 - 'Obièna Svar' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1982
This lot never got to make a record. From Pula, Croatia.
15. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Get The Guy' RKM LP - UK - 1978
Another excellent composition from 'Victim Of Time'. 
16. PANKRTI - 'Civili In Vojaki' RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
 A fourth track from 'Dolgcajt'.
17. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Ich Zünd Mich An' - No Fun LP - Germany - 1981
This one's from their aptly titled second album 'II'.
18. THE FEISTY CADAVERS - 'Live Like Vampires' - FSN 7" - USA - 1989
Their second E.P. 'Dying Art' did sound a bit more like the Misfits. Loved this track.
19. THE DEFNICS - 'Suicide Trip' Terminal LP - USA - 1982
An unusually slower one by the Defnics from 'Cleveland Confidential'.
20. FORT & GÆLI - 'N.S.B.' - Reiten 7" - Norway - 1981
Their sole single, more's the shame.
21. PANKRTI - 'Jest Sem Na Liniji' RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
A fifth track from 'Dolgcajt'.
22. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Monstertanz' - No Fun LP - Germany - 1983
From disappointing third album 'Ausradiert'.
23. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Falling Like A Domino' Attic LP - UK - 1980
One from second album 'Pop Art'.
24. THE LAB RATS - 'Cover Song, End Of Side One' Terminal LP - USA - 1982
Love the way they titled this one. The pressing plant couldn't afford to mess it up. From 'Cleveland Confidential'.
25. PANKRTI - 'Sedemnajst' RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
And a sixth track from 'Dolgcajt'.
***BONUS TRACKS***
26. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Es Brennt' (from their debut album)

  1. Hello! This Is Great Blog, THX ! KUD IDIJOTI & PARAF are both Croatian bands !
    The first come from Pula and the other from Rijeka. They played in the time of Yugoslavia and after the war of the 1990s are kept as Croatian bands ! :-) :-)
