Welcome to… Brazzaville is a best of songs album by the indie group Brazzaville. It was released in two editions. At first, it was put together when only three albums of the Brazzavile were recorded; the next time Welcome to… was released in Russia—after Hastings Street became available—so Welcome to... now had songs from the four albums, a different track list and two additional non-album songs (four in sum).
"Trey Spruance from Mimicry records approached me with the idea," says David Brown, the leader of the Brazzaville, "of putting out a record that would introduce Brazzaville to a wider audience."
Welcome to… Brazzaville' features songs from the first three/four records as well as a couple of new ones ("Love Sky", "Christmas in East Cirebon" and later "Last Days", "Hotel Ukraina").
""Love Sky" is the story of my mother and father and of distant memories I have of going to work with my father when he was still a trucker, hauling shipping containers from Long Beach and San Pedro to the train yards in Vernon.
"Christmas in EC" is about a couple of young low budget travelers whose lovely existence gets destroyed by heroin."
