The Best of Brought To Life - 242

1. THE OFFBEATS - 'Aint This The Life?' - Relativity LP - USA - 1987

The opening track from their sole album 'The Evolution Of The Stickman'.

2. F.U.2 - 'Playing My Guitar' - Beat LP - UK - 1977

From a faux-punk album orchestrated by members of Downliners Sect. But if you're gonna play punk, ditch the harmonica.

3. PROBLEMI - 'J.U.S.' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1979

From the 'Djeca Reforme 1978-80' CDR. I'm guessing at the year. From Pula.

4. SUBWAY SECT - 'Parallel Lines' - Peel Session - UK - 1977

From their debut Peel Session recorded in October '77.

5. LILIPUT - 'Do You Mind My Dream?' - Rough Trade LP - Switzerland - 1982

The opening track from their debut self-titled album. It's all about the rhythms.

6. GOLA JAJA - 'Sirena Smrti' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1982

Another band from Pula (now Croatia, of course). 

7. THE OFFBEATS - 'Seven Days' - Relativity LP - USA - 1987 

Another track from 'The Evolution Of The Stickman'. 
8. THE TORPEDOS - 'Pop Star' - Four Winds 7" - USA - 1979

From Detroit, and it shows. From their first E.P. 

9. PROBLEMI - 'Problemi' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1979 

Another track from the 'Djeca Reforme 1978-80' CDR. 
10. F.U.2 - 'Move Around' - Beat LP - UK - 1977

No harmonica on this one, but not sure the keyboards were needed either. 

11. SUBWAY SECT - 'Chain Smoking' - Peel Session - UK - 1977 

Another track from their debut Peel Session. 
12. GOLA JAJA - 'Protest' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1982

Another cool demo.

13. LILIPUT - 'Terrified' - Rough Trade LP - Switzerland - 1983

One from second album 'Some Songs'.

14. THE OFFBEATS - 'Learning' - Demo - USA - 1986

I'm guessing at the year again but it's available on 'Dumb Looks Still Free'.

15. F.U.2 - 'F.U.2' - Beat LP - UK - 1977

No unnecessary accompaniments on this one. Also released as a single. 

16. PROBLEMI - 'Sranje' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1980 

From the 'Djeca Reforme 1978-80' CDR. 

17. THE TORPEDOS - 'No Pills' - Four Winds 7" - USA - 1979 

Another track from their first E.P. 
18. GOLA JAJA - 'Disco Tip' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1982

My disco tip? Keep out of 'em!

19. LILIPUT - 'You Did It' - Rough Trade 7" - Switzerland - 1983

Their final slightly mysterious single.

20. F.U.2 - 'Sniffin' Glue' - Beat LP - UK - 1977

Very very funny. I guess it was intentional.

21. THE OFFBEATS - 'Shit My Pants' - Demo - USA - 1984

And the humour continues, albeit at a breakneck pace. 

22. PROBLEMI - 'Uzalud Pokušavam' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1979 

Another track from the 'Djeca Reforme 1978-80' CDR. 
23. SUBWAY SECT - 'Staying Out Of View' - Demo - UK - 1978

From their proposed and therefore unreleased album.

24. GOLA JAJA - 'Želim Nešto Postići' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1982

Another of their great demos.

25. F.U.2 - 'Come On Strong' - Beat LP - UK - 1977

And another track from the album.
