The Best of Brought To Life - 238

1. PRODUCT - 'Sacred Wealth' - Clay MLP - UK - 1981
It was on Clay. It had 'Wars' in the title. It had to sound like Discharge. It didn't.
2. THE PIXIES - 'Rock Music' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990
Well, I've plundered 1990 again. It was the Pixies so I had to. From their penultimate album 'Bossanova'.
3. UPRIGHT CITIZENS - 'Bombs Of Peace' - Better Youth Organization LP - Germany - 1985
You've had the original, now here's the fast version. From 'Open Eyes, Open Ears, Brains To Think & A Mouth To Speak'.
4. CRUCIFIX - 'Prejudice' - Corpus Christi LP - USA - 1983
And here's the fast version of 'Prejudice' from their sole blistering album 'Dehumanization'.
5. THE PROLETARIAT - 'Pride'Homestead LP - USA - 1986
There was a deeper, richer sound on second album 'Indifference'. Lyrically just as powerful as the first.
6. DAMAGE - 'This House' - Gnarl LP - USA - 1984
I don't think Damage ever ventured into the studio but they still made a couple of intense albums. This is from 'Sins Of Our Fathers', recorded live at CBGBs.
7. MERCENARY GOD - 'Italian Way Of Life' - Bootleg Records LP - Italy - 1985
From 'Challenge' - a 3-way split album with No Suicide and No Submission.
8. THE PIXIES - 'Velouria' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990
'And how does lemur skin reflect the sea?' Answers on a postcard. From 'Bossanova', of course.
9. UPRIGHT CITIZENS - 'Dead Blood'Better Youth Organization LP - Germany - 1985
A second track from 'Open Eyes . . .'
10. THE PROLETARIAT - 'Sins' - Homestead LP - USA - 1986

And a second from 'Sins Of Our Fathers'.
12. CRUCIFIX - 'Another Mouth To Feed'Corpus Christi LP - USA - 1983
As relevant today as it ever was. From 'Dehumanization'.
13. THE PIXIES - 'Allison' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990
Black Francis was clearly getting the girls around this time. From 'Bossanova'.
14. UPRIGHT CITIZENS - 'Swastika Ratss'Better Youth Organization LP - Germany - 1985
A third from 'Open Eyes . . .'  - another re-recording of an earlier song.
15. PRODUCT - 'Use You Up'Clay MLP - UK - 1981
A second from 'Style Wars'.
16. DAMAGE - 'The Dice'Gnarl LP - USA - 1984
And a third brutal thrasher from 'Sins Of Our Fathers'.
17. MERCENARY GOD - 'Movie Movie' - Bootleg Records - Italy - 1981
If this one sounds a bit quiet, just use 'Apply Volume Levelling Across Tracks On Audio CDs' in your Burn options. Or turn the fucker up!  From 'Challenge'.
18. THE PIXIES - 'Dig For Fire' - 4AD LP - USA - 1990
Almost moved me to tears when I first heard this one. Not entirely sure why. Probably one of those songs about the human condition that strikes a chord deep within. Or something.
19. CRUCIFIX - 'Indo China'Corpus Christi LP - USA - 1983
A third from 'Dehumanization'.

'Every morning and every day, I'll bossanova with ya'.
23. UPRIGHT CITIZENS - 'Holocaust'Better Youth Organization LP - Germany - 1985
