C&C Red Alert 1 - Trenches (music)

[Nowaydude85]

This song and game are how old now? And this song is still pretty freakin' badass. A testament to Frankie's older work.

from 2:15 sounds like bf 3 no?



[Scinadier]

@xMADvDOGx I think you mean "bf 3 sounds like 2:15"

[xMADvDOGx]

@Scinadier Exactly

[SeaEagleAdmin]

I had forgotten about this track. Easily one of the best. Definitely the most underrated on the soundtrack.

[SpanishWeed]

Some1 disslike'd it... How is it possible a hater strands in THIS PART of youtube anyway

[detlev07]

this track catched the real cold war flear at 1989 perfect and cold

[surfer605]

F*KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKING AWSOME MUISC

[KaiserRooster]

Klepacki owns bones.

[pricture]

I miss WestWood :[

[Jarpseye]

2:50 sounds like some serious 007 action.

[JorgeL721]

I like the snare drum at 1:39

[AkuzaGhost]

Pretty badass song.

[xXBlazeTheHedghogXx]

@AkuzaGhost it has to be for a badass game :D

[fookfocketyfookfook]

This isn't on my itunes download is it from an expansion pack or something?

[PriusRider]

only on the ussr missions to hear.

[lazylank]

I love this song. For a long time is was the theme song of my life.

[HalBDeU]

Thumbs up if you searched "C&C red alert 1 music playlist" or something like that to listen to these old music :P

[Veke99]

this one reminds me of the impossible middle island mission.

[Slashking996]

[SeanMacGregor1]

This song reminds me of the allied mission were you are pushing deep into Russia when Stalin attempts to launch nuclear weapons to wipe out all of Europe.

Very intense and grave and this song perfectly describes it.

These days, developers just don't make well developed campaigns which are actually made of quality. Westwood knew how to make a great single player campaign. Its a shame that Westwood had to be bought out.

[flaperise]

@SeanMacGregor1 I couldn't agree more, especially once they bought them out they started to overtagg when they rereleased the Red Alert games with EA over them, now they state it was one of their greatest achievements back then... was nothing to do with them at the start?! Completely agree though with what you said. I think it's a rarity to get a game with a good overall balance

[OverlordFly210]

YEAHH C&C IS AWESOME!!!!!

[Damocles178]

I just loved listening to this music as the Soviets against the Allies Massive and powerful Naval Fleets :)

Listening to it always makes me think of a cruiser making it's way up to try and shell my base. Red Alert 1 was the best of the lot; both the soviets and the allies had unique advantages. I hated when they introduced Balance in Red Alert 2 sure it was good but balance is not what C&C is about! It's about the unique advantages each side had. In Red Alert 2 you don't fear the allied navy

[Savior20061]

@Damocles178 The problem with Red Alert 1 is that the imbalance was kind of ridiculous. It was much more serviceable in Red Alert 2. In RA1 Allies were outmatched on ground, air, and defense. Teching up didn't change much about this. In RA2, Allies are still the weakest at first but Battle Lab makes them badass.

[SeanMacGregor1]

@Savior20061

In red alert one, the soviets while they did have much more powerful tanks and defenses and airforce had a crappy infantry force and and a crappy anti infantry force with few support vehicles (with the exception of flamethrowers). While the allies had cheaper but faster tanks. Personally i thought the soviets while they did have better tanks and defenses had it harder than the allies, but that's just my opinion.

[Savior20061]

@SeanMacGregor1 The side with grenadiers, flamethrowers, AND rocket soldiers can hardly be considered to have "crappy" infantry. The only part that sucked about Soviet infantry was that they didn't have a medic, or Tanya in campaign. Tanya was the only thing that made Allied infantry "good". You are right that Soviets didn't have much convenient anti-infantry. AP mine layers are cumbersome. Hind and Yaks are expensive and not worth it. V2 has a very long reload.

I think RA2 was a lot better IMO

[gerghd]

unit lost  unit lost unit lost!

[RampagingDragon1]

This track reminds me when my base was destroyed and the survivors left and hid until we could find a crate with a mobile construction vehicle

ahhh the nostalgia

[MyKane22]

ich liebe C & C zu zocken

[Wesleyfromindy2]

RA1 music was awesome, RA2 music was pretty good, Yuri's music sucked.

[Issus38]

If someone where to correct the AI in the game and put it to the market again, they would make a fortune. This is by far the best game of strategy. Who cares about graphics?? The plot is much more important, in my opinion.

[bohemiangrove]

The music and cutscenes alone were worth it. but the exciting mission made the game even better. now it's just kill the enemy. If they ever make a new C&C (probably a new Generals) they should learn from this. Generals has good music, it only lacks awesome missions and good cutscenes.

[NathanCoates]

@Issus38 too right its the way things perform not how it looks

[r3trobox]

@Issus38

100% agreed,

"For king and country"

- Spy from RA.

[Rastrero01]

This game and Half Life have the very best soundtrack in the history of all games ever! I miss Westwood soo much! EA detroy the C&C

[Savior20061]

What I like about this track the best is how Frank slowly puts in instruments one by one at the beginning. You can tell the man really cared about his work.

[lmaomarine]

The slow, nerve racking moments in those trenches...the screams...the blood...the fear...

Then courage.

An infantry aussalt to the enemy.

Rise up from your trenches and face the enemy!

Fight for your country!

Fight for your freedom!

One final aussalt to end the battle!

[thrashgordon88]

What a game. Even though there are new RTS games with much, much better graphics, online capability etc The original Red Alert has yet to be bettered.

[darthbandon10]

Actually it was lagging in interface, map and AI terms by the time Aftermath was released. Very little in the way of naval and aerial units either.

[bohemiangrove]

@darthbandon10 what makes this game superior to other C&C is the fact you had real missions. It wasn't just destroy the enemy. The cutscenes after each defeat or loss and the awesome music. The way games should be.

[darthbandon10]

@bohemiangrove I was talking about RTS in general. They do move on after 4 years you know ;-)

[phocjame]

Was bettered by Total Annhilation in terms of gameplay.

[durpadoo]

I agree with ya there man. TA killed C&C with gameplay in my opinion.

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

they should definitly maker a remake of this game with better graphics and shit, but same music

[OldSkoolgamerz]

Damn, Red Alert brings so much memories back from the 90s.

This song reminds me of the devastating effects of the aftermath from a battle-especially the opening of the song.

[Sleepy1988]

A very dark and gritty piece of music. Perfect for setting the atmosphere of a game like Red Alert.

[300pidary]

RED ALERT 1 EPICAL GAME

ITS So LONG AGO ^^

[Panzerfaust26]

favorite song from RA, the drums1:40 give me chills to this day. Klepacki is a genius

[Heikos01]

I liked it even more than Hell March, which was brilliant too.

This piece makes me feel like I'm looking at the graves of many fallen soldiers, caused by the grey and cold death of WWII. No hopes, no colours, no gain, only death is at your destination.

[lazylank]

YES! Besides Hell March, this was definitely my favourite track from The Aftermath and Counterstrike.

[CredibilityorElse]

golden

[NeoDragonKnight]

My favorite track from RA thnx for posting

[whiteskullwhiteskull]

i like this theme, i believe has a rhythm o sample of snap and other music...

[ronin262]

Best ever thanks so much for posting, you have my eternal gratitude!!

[wagneraster]

this one really befits the mood of the game, adds some cool apocalyptic nuclear war feeling.

[pigeonpsycho]

@wagneraster it sounds like someone pooped on a cat

[BluScale1]

@pigeonpsycho

How?

Just how?

[zelu]

awesome

[gezurarbeit]

indeed
