THE RED ATTACK

And You Command Everybody...

Hello and welcome the The Red Attack website. The Red Attack is different. Not your standard different. Its an eclectic mix of anything and everything.

Below is the title track to my new album And You Command Everybody... Have a listen. Let me know what you think.

If you like the track and you want it. You can have it. Don't go trawling through websites, or getting flashy software to record your computers output, i'm going to give it to you. For free. Easy. All you have to do is Right Click - Save Target As (or the equivalent depending in your browser) on the image below.

The Red Attack is an easy recipe. First take a body of Mike Street and add the following ingredients:

• 30ml of Electro
• 43g of Techno
• 74g of chill-out
• 15ml of The Grizzly
• 5g of Drum and Bass

Mix the ingredients together and cook for one day on 37˚ C or Gas Mark 1/12, or until the track is mastered. Sprinkle a little bit of a track name on the top and then release.

That mix worked for me with my debut EP From The Depths of Death to the Height of Living. It is now available for eating now from iTunes, Amazon, Napster. Try it out and, as my nan always said, "the proof is in the eating!"

I slightly altered the recipe for my debut album, And You Command Everybody... It seems to have worked, after all, I had the experience from the EP to base my new theories and practices on.

The Red Attack is the child of a Brighton based student. When I am not making the music, songs and tunes you hear I try to complete a degree and I work as a part-time sales assistant. The Red Attack was born in the autumn of 2006, starting off with loop based tunes, that were absolutely appalling, but my family and friends, even random internet stumblers who came across my acidplanet* page, showed confidence in me, gave me criticism, but good criticism. I took it on board, processed it, manipulated it, grew it and produced a better song than before.

*For those interested, the songs are still on AcidPlanet and can be found at the following link: Streety - AcidPlanet and TheRedAttack - AcidPlanet.

There are several people i should really thank at this moment (before i get all emotional!). A massive shout to Jack Kingwell, Will Boyce, the Street clan and anyone else who has bought my EP.

My debut EP, From The Depths of Death To The Height of Living was testing the waters, the prototype of my super car, the model boat to see if the design works, the model of the building to see if it suits that industrial estate in Russia, the big toe in the hot bath to see if the rest of the body can take the heat. The car, went fast, the boat floated, Krasnodar's county council gave me planning permission and the bath was not too hot. The EP somehow sold, despite no promotion or any effort on my part. Although i should have. I should have been out there shouting to the world.

My next musical target is my album, the debut album. Featuring tracks from all over the musical spectrum. Here, there, everywhere. Believe me, its going to be amazing (although I would say that). Watch the charts, listen to the radio for album - And You Command Everybody...

My music is an emotional banana boat, throwing you left, right, up in the air and then back down again. Watch out, as you might fall off! This, of course, is my opinion. One thing i will say is i try, anything and everything. I try.

And You Command Everybody... by The Red Attack
Review by Will Boyce

"The Red Attack's debut album, the aptely named "And You Command Everybody", is a carefully crafted anthem; a tale of corruption, of darkness and industry, of underground revolution. Pumping synths and breakbeats rule this world, spruced with occasional blends of melancholy piano and acoustic guitar. Powerful, and at times hauntingly poetic, Brighton's Mike Street has firmly established himself as an expert innovator of electronic sound, his finely tuned atmospheres among the more bone chilling of recent times.

From the Depths of Death to the Height of Living
Review by Will Boyce of Acoutronic Mentale

In loading up From The Depths of Death To The Height of Living, The Red Attack's debut album, you'll almost immediately find that it is less of a standard electronic/break beat genre album than it is an energetic lesson in variety and substance. The project, helmed by U.K. electronic pioneer Mike Street, is undeniably short at 6 tracks, but nonetheless works as an unusually dynamic and fresh debut E P.

The album opens with the strong Enter the Depths, a song which starts out simple, but then erupts with a line so catchy, and a beat so frantic, it'll leave you in break beat heaven for days to come.

The energy is retained in the second track Glass Through Walls, another more than decent break beat track which features a powerful synth line coated beautifully with haunting ambience soundscapes.

Third on the list is Death Note, where The Red Attack shows production strength in pulling off a smart and conscious Brit rap track on par with Mike Skinner of The Streets fame.

Following the energy of Death Note, Attack suddenly changes direction with the beautiful and ambient A High Lonely Place. With its multi layering and reflective nature,it may be a song which in fact calls to be listened to in just such a location.

Following the low level of energy of its predecessor, track 5 entitled Fallen Angel is another experiment in ambience. This time however, the mood is dark and haunted, with meticulous voice sampling and dark undertones littered throughout.

Closing out the album is No More Days of Static. Without question an album highlight, The Red Attack brings this track at you loud and demands your attention. With a fast and solid beat as structure, distorted guitar lines rip throughout with such strength and arrangement that you'll be knocked flat. Guaranteed.
Frantic, powerful, and at times relaxing and complex, Street shows not only is he learned musician and producer, but a master at variety and style. Every track on his debut exhibit skill and precision, and during no time do they stray from their trademark sound. It is rare to find something as fresh as From The Depths of Death To The Height of Living, an album so original in passion and scope, that it begs to be heard.
