The Best of Brought To Life - 225

1. FUGAZI - 'Waiting Room' - Dischord MLP - USA - 1988
Ah, I remember piling over to Planet X in Liverpool to see Ian MacKaye's new band play. It wasn't what anyone expected but it didn't take long to get into it. Great show. This is the opening track from their self-titled debut. 
2. THE LURKERS - 'Love Story' - Beggars Banquet 7" - UK - 1977

Back to basics with the flipside of their debut 'free admission' single. Did you really get free admission to their shows if you bought one? Love the drums. Go for it, Esso! 
3. THE SEXUAL - 'Messiah' - Kochi 7" flexi - Japan - 1984

From their debut release 'Suicide'. Quite a good sound for a flexi disc. 
4. RUBELLA BALLET - 'Ballet Dance' - Peel Session - UK - 1982

This lot never quite hit the heights with their vinyl but they were a great live band and I was always fond of their Peel session. 
5. THE RAZORS - 'Disco' - Aggressive Rock LP - Germany - 1981

One of the better tracks from the 'Soundtracks Zum Untergang' compilation. 
6. THE LURKERS - 'Freak Show' - Peel Session - UK - 1977

Wasn't sure whether to go for the single version or the Peel session version. Plumped for the latter. Dunno why? 
7. VIVABEAT - 'Jet Set' - Charisma LP - UK - 1980

Now for a new wave intermission of sorts. From their 'Party In The War Zone' album. 
8. THE SEXUAL - 'Anarchy & Destruction'/'Muddy Brains' - Kochi flexi 7" - Japan - 1985

This double offering is from their second flexi E.P. 'The Last Days'. 
9. FUGAZI - 'Margin Walker' - Dischord MLP - USA - 1989

The opening track from their second mini-album. More of the same. 
10. THE LURKERS - 'Time Of Year' - Beggars Banquet LP - UK - 1978

One from their debut album 'Fulham Fallout'.
11. TOTAL EGON - 'Rosa Honungs Grav' - Self-released 7" - Sweden - 1980

This was the brainchild of one Mart Hällgren who sang and played all of the instruments himself. So talented. (No friends?) From his first E.P. 'Fördomar Mot'. 
12. THE SEXUAL - 'The Japanizu' - Demo - Japan - 1983

Available on their 'The Complete Discography 1983 - 1985' CD. 
13. RUBELLA BALLET - 'Belfast' - Peel Session - UK - 1982

An anti-war anthem from their Peel session. 
14. THE LURKERS - 'Total War' - Peel Session - UK - 1977

Another track from their first Peel session. 
15. FUGAZI - 'Burning Too' - Dischord MLP - USA - 1989

Another track from 'Margin Walker'. 
16. THE SEXUAL - 'Ejaculate' - Kochi 7" flexi - Japan - 1984

Another track from their debut E.P. 'Suicide'. 
17. VIVABEAT - 'Wild World' - Charisma LP - UK - 1980

And a second new wave extravaganza from 'Party In The War Zone'. 
18. THE LURKERS - 'Self Destruct' - Beggars Banquet LP - UK - 1978

A second track from 'Fulham Fallout'. 
19. FUGAZI - 'Break In' - Peel session - USA - 1988

One of the heavier tracks from their Peel session. 
20. THE SEXUAL - 'Crime Of Sexual' - Kochi flexi 7" - Japan - 1985
Another track from their second flexi E.P. 'The Last Days'. 
21. ZÄPO - 'Alla Dagar' - Transmission 7" - Sweden - 1982
