The Best of Brought To Life - 379

1. CARBURETOR DUNG – ‘Song For A Friend’
‘Songs For Friends' - Valentine Sound Productions cassette - Malaysia - 1993
We'll begin this one with Malaysia's finest's first full length effort. They were named after a Lester Bangs book, don't you know? Happy Birthday Joe.
2. THE LEE HARVEY OSWALD BAND – ‘The Greatest Man That Ever Walked The Face Of The Earth’
‘Blastronaut' - Touch & Go LP - USA - 1996
The opening track from their final album, so far.
3. SEDITION – ‘Logical Isolation’
‘Earthbeat' - Flat Earth LP - UK - 1993
And from their swansong . . . though I've never heard a swan sound quite like this . . .       
4. THE HUNS – ‘Busy Kids’
Single - God 7" - USA - 1979
Of course, the flipside (which no-one ANYWHERE knows the full lyrics to) is the KBD smasher, but there's a perverse kind of menace in this, the A-side too.
5. DE STRAKS – ‘Vrije Wereld’
‘Groeten Uit De Vrije Wereld' - Strakkies 7" - Netherlands - 1982
Way back on #42 I comped a couple of tracks from their first E.P.  This is from their second.
6. YOUTH BRIGADE – ‘It's About Time We Had A Change’
‘Possible' - Dischord 7" - USA - 1981
Not the greatest Dischord release, but the greatest guitar sound for sure.
7. PROBLEM CHILDREN – ‘On The Air’
‘On The Air' - Problem Children Wrekords 7" - Canada - 1988
Their albums have thus far eluded me, but I remember this scruffy sounding (and looking) E.P. being played non-stop in my bedroom back in the day.
8. SEDITION – ‘Gaia’
‘Earthbeat' - Flat Earth LP - UK - 1993        
9. THE HUNS – ‘Violence’
‘Live at The Palladium 1979' - Existential Vacuum LP - USA - 1995
No-one had any demos so E.V. bashed out this great-sounding live set instead. And I'm glad they did.
10. THE LEE HARVEY OSWALD BAND – ‘Morphodite’
‘Blastronaut' - Touch & Go LP - USA - 1996
11. YOUTH BRIGADE – ‘Full Speed Ahead’
‘Possible' - Dischord 7" - USA - 1981

‘Earthbeat' - Flat Earth LP - UK - 1993        
13. CARBURETOR DUNG – ‘Don't Know’
‘Songs For Friends' - Valentine Sound Productions cassette - Malaysia - 1993
14. THE HUNS – ‘Murder In Texas’
‘Live at The Palladium 1979' - Existential Vacuum LP - USA - 1995
15. DE STRAKS – ‘Friedman’
‘Groeten Uit De Vrije Wereld' - Strakkies 7" - Netherlands - 1982
16. PROBLEM CHILDREN – ‘Energy’
‘On The Air' - Problem Children Wrekords 7" - Canada - 1988
17. SEDITION – ‘Sex Biased Roles’

21. PROBLEM CHILDREN – ‘Stayin' Young’
‘On The Air' - Problem Children Wrekords 7" - Canada - 1988
22. SEDITION – ‘TV Sickness’
‘Whispers!' - Skuld / Profane Existence 2 x LP - UK - 1994
23. CARBURETOR DUNG – ‘You're A Problem (Not A Solution)’
‘Songs For Friends' - Valentine Sound Productions cassette - Malaysia - 1993
24. THE HUNS – ‘Listen To Me’
‘Live at The Palladium 1979' - Existential Vacuum LP - USA - 1995
25. DE STRAKS – ‘Luns’
‘Vrij, Onverteerd' - Self-Released 7" - Netherlands - 1981
I've revisited their first E.P. and decided to air a couple more tracks for your delectation.
