The Best of Brought To Life - 370

1. BUZZCOCKS - 'Do It'
'Trade Test Transmissions' - Castle Communications LP - UK - 1993
Their comeback album, their first for well over a decade and a welcome return to form. It was like they'd never been away.
2. BLOOD OR WHISKEY - 'Unfinished Business'
'S/T' - Rejected LP - Ireland - 1996
Indeed there is! The first of five more tracks from their debut album.
3. VOG - 'In The Crowd'
'S/T' - RCA LP - USA - 1981
Thanks to Bruce from 'My Life's A Jigsaw' for introducing me to these New York powerpoppers. For more records and info go here.
4. SATANIC MALFUNCTIONS - 'Movement For Change'
'I've Just Had About All I Can Take' - Looney Tunes 7" - UK - 1987
Always remember John Peel playing this at the various speeds trying to work out which was the correct one. I'm sure he already knew.
5. VANDAALIT - 'Vauhdin Hurmaa'
'Apinoiden Platta' - Hilse-Levyt LP - Finland - 1992
From yet another comeback album. And again, very worthy.
6. SHRAPNEL - 'Missile'
'They Control Our Destiny' - Self-Released cassette - UK - 1983
From their first demo, before they could really play, but that only adds to the charm.
7. LAST ROUGH CAUSE - 'The Violent Few'
'The Violent Few' - LRC 7" - UK - 1985
Everything seemed very very fast in the mid-80's with a few notable exceptions such as this 3-piece Darlington combo. Facebook page here.
8. VOG - 'Step Ahead'
'S/T' - RCA LP - USA - 1981
9. BUZZCOCKS - 'Last To Know'
'Trade Test Transmissions' - Castle Communications LP - UK - 1993
The album's show stealer.
10. BLOOD OR WHISKEY - 'Keep The Baby'
'S/T' - Rejected LP - Ireland - 1996
A proper jig this one. Much jiggery, after lots of good ol' pokery. ***Disclaimer***: Brought To Life would like to point out that we do not condone such flippant attitudes to parenthood.

Another chaotic classic.
