The Best of Brought To Life - 187

1. THE BOYS - 'Brickfield Nights' - NEMS LP - UK - 1978
The opening track from second album 'Alternative Chartbusters'. Ah, those teenage memories . . .
2. NOG WATT - 'Going On' - Revenge 7" - Netherlands - 1985
Other than comps, Nog Watt only released one excellent 6-track E.P. called 'Fear'. This was the opening track.
3. KOHU 63 - 'Huorra' - Poko MLP - Finland - 1982
One from their 'Valtaa Ei Loistoa' mini album.
4. THE BOOM - 'Shot Down' - Hand To Mouth 7" - USA - 1981
The superior flipside to sole single 'Nancy Packs A Piece'. If you wanna hear it, go here.
5. GEPØPEL - 'Paracide' - Die Hard 7" - Netherlands - 1985
The title track from another cool '85 Dutch E.P. with a nice pace change to keep it fresh. 8-tracks this time.
6. BOUND & GAGGED - 'Clutter' - Modern Method 12" - USA - 1980
Some spiky minimalist post-punk now. So Modern Method wasn't just the home of Boston Hardcore? (No! That was Xclaim!)
7. INDIREKT - 'Shell Helpt' - Ko-Rec 7" - Netherlands - 1984
The opening track from their debut E.P. 'Nieuws Voor Doven En Slechthorenden'.

A second track from their 'Valtaa Ei Loistoa' mini album.
9. THE BOYS - 'U.S.I.'NEMS LP - UK - 1978
Another track from second album 'Alternative Chartbusters'. It's about an under-age sex charge, by the way.
10. NOG WATT - 'Fear'Revenge 7" - Netherlands - 1985
The slow burning title track from their E.P.
11. TYRNAROUND - 'Want Of A Rhyme' - PolyEster 7" - Australia - 1987
Classified as a 'Psychedelic Rock Band'. Disbanded in 1999 after the death of singer Michael Phillips.

15. RED ASPHALT - 'Red Asphalt' - Egg and Anvil 7" - USA - 1981
And a paranoid little piece from their sole E.P. (before the obligatory Rave Up album).
16. PANDEMONIUM - 'A.M.O.K.' - Limbabwe 7" - Netherlands - 1983
One from their debut E.P. 'Who The Fuck Are You?' As the name suggests, the music ran away with itself at times, but not here.
17. DISCHARGE - 'I Don't Care' - Demo - UK - 1977
Who'd have thought Discharge ever played this slow? Speed takes time and practice, I guess.
18. KOHU 63 - 'Turmellus' - Poko LP - Finland - 1982
One from 'Lisää Verta Historiaan'.
19. INDIREKT - 'Ik Ben So Gelukkig'Ko-Rec 7" - Netherlands - 1984
