The Best of Brought To Life - 165

1. MINK OIL - 'Outlaw Suicide' - Adventure Family 7" - Japan - 1988
As you've all been missing your Japanese thrash here's the opening track from Mink Oil's classic (and only) 'Untitled' E.P.
2. CLASSIC RUINS - 'Heart Attack' - Ace Of Hearts 7" - USA - 1980
From their debut E.P.  Available on the Rave Up album 'Room Starts Spinning', though I'm not sure which is harder to find.
3. HEART ATTACK - 'Society' - Serious Clown 12" - USA - 1983
From 'Heart Attack' the song to 'Heart Attack' the band. This one was the opening track to their 'Keep Your Distance' E.P.  Also available on 'The Last War '80 - '85' CD.
4. THE HATES - 'Houston' - Faceless MLP - USA - 1982
The opening track of 'Panacea' - their crowning moment.
5. STUKAS OVER BEDROCK - 'Aren't You Fucking Special?' - Happy Squid LP - USA - 1988
This lot didn't quite live up to their name but they had their moments. This is one. From 'The Age Of Aquariums' (chortle).
6. HEAVY DISCIPLINE - 'What's Next?' - Real World 7" - UK - 1987
Their musical magnum opus from their 'Liberation Of Economics' E.P. - the first record I ever put out. So excited were I and the band that we started selling 'em at a gig in Birmingham before the sleeves had even been printed. We took names and addresses to send the sleeves out at a later date.
7. ELECTRO-MOTIVE FORCE - 'Conscious' - Surge 7" - UK - 1982
Ignore the labelling on the download - or change it - I was having a senior moment. This is from their sole E.P.  From Northern Ireland. Often shortened to E.M.F. but I wasn't gonna go there!
8. B-MOVIE - 'The Soldier Stood Alone' - Dead Good 7" - UK - 1980
From their debut 'Take Three' E.P.  Post-punk bordering on goth (which hadn't really been invented at this point).
9. THE FEATURES - 'Cue The Next Army' - ASM 7" - UK - 1980
The superior flipside of their 'Monday Friday' single.
10. MINK OIL - 'High Time' - Adventure Family 7" - Japan - 1988
A second track from their 'Untitled' E.P.
11. THE HATES - 'Nuclear Age' - Faceless MLP - USA - 1982
And a second track from 'Panacea''
12. INZUCHT & ORDNUNG - 'Aussichlaus' -Zickzack 7" - Germany - 1980
The flipside of sole single 'Irrenanstalt'.
13. HEART ATTACK - 'English Cunts' - Serious Clown 12" - USA - 1983
Another stomping track from 'Keep Your Distance'. About Anglophile punks. Apparently.
14. CLASSIC RUINS - 'Nyquil Stinger' - Ace Of Hearts 7" - USA - 1980
A second track from their debut E.P.
15. MINK OIL - 'Laugh Off' - Adventure Family 7" - Japan - 1988
And a third from their 'Untitled' E.P.
16. SKI PATROL - 'Driving' - Malicious Damage 7" - UK - 1980
The flipside of debut single 'Agent Orange'.
17. THE HATES - 'Science Fiction' - Faceless MLP - USA - 1982
A third track from 'Panacea'.
18. ELECTRO-MOTIVE FORCE - 'Mental Cases' - Surge 7" - UK - 1982
Another track from their sole E.P.
19. STUKAS OVER BEDROCK - 'My Car Is My God' - P&S Productions cassette - USA - 1986
This was from a split cassette with the Amateur Gynecologists. Ouch!
20. MINK OIL - 'Mammy Says Daddy Says' - Adventure Family 7" - Japan - 1988 
They can say what they want. Here's a fourth from their 'Untitled' E.P.
21. SECOND LAYER - 'Court Or Wars' - Tortch 7" - UK - 1979
Another post-punker. From their debut 'Flesh As Property' E.P.
22. THE HATES - 'Punk 1301' - Faceless MLP - USA - 1982
A fouth track from 'Panacea'.
23. HEAVY DISCIPLINE - 'Complete Annihiliation' - Real World 7" - UK - 1987
A nice chugger from 'The Liberation Of Economics'.
24. HEART ATTACK - 'Victims Inquisition' - Serious Clown 12" - USA - 1983
A third from 'Keep Your Distance'.
25. CLASSIC RUINS - '1 + 1 < 2' - Ace Of Hearts 7" - USA - 1980
And the other track from their debut E.P.
