Command & Conquer: Red Alert soundtrack

This is the complete list of all music tracks from Command & Conquer: Red Alert,, and.

Background
Red Alert's original score was composed by Frank Klepacki and was voted the best video game soundtrack of 1996 by PC Gamer and Gameslice magazines. Among his most famous songs from the series is the theme of Red Alert, titled "Hell March", which accents the style of the game with adrenalized riffs of electric guitar, the sounds of marching feet, and synthesizers to a quote that was commonly misinterpreted as German, but was eventually identified as a Canadian drill command saying "Reform line, quick march". Originally intended to be the theme for the Brotherhood of Nod faction in the Covert Operations expansion to the original 1995 Command &amp; Conquer game, the track eventually ended up enlisting itself as a staple in the Red Alert series instead.

When playing the single-player campaign, a limited number of tracks are initially available, and more are unlocked as the player progresses through missions. When playing in a multiplayer or "skirmish" game, however, all tracks are available from the start. More tracks were included in the Red Alert expansion packs: Counterstrike, The Aftermath and Retaliation. The music tracks can be listened to on Frank Klepacki's website.

An official soundtrack was released with unique album art designed by Westwood Studios and, like the previous release, featured the official Command & Conquer series logo with the Red Alert series motif below. The album contained fifteen tracks, plus a hidden bonus track. Half a minute after the end of track 15 plays Surf No Mercy. Its melodramatic opening was used in the secret It Came From Red Alert! campaign in Counterstrike, and the track itself is a tribute to Misirlou, using the rhythm of an earlier Command & Conquer music piece, No Mercy.

Two tracks on the disc, "Radio 2" and "Face the Enemy 2", had the numbers at the end removed from the track listing, which could potentially cause confusion, since the original "Radio" track is from the first Command & Conquer game, and "Face The Enemy 1" is a different track in Red Alert.

Track list
Names that differ from the in-game name were provided by Frank Klepacki's website and/or the Red Alert Remaster. Unless specified, the track lengths are based on the in-game playlist. Tracks that normally do not appear in the playlist were enabled through rules.ini to see their length and in-game title.

Unlisted tracks
These tracks were not included in the Red Alert soundtrack disc.

Counterstrike tracks
Some of these were available as CD audio tracks on the Counterstrike game disc. Note that there is no CD audio track 1; the first track is the game data.

Due to some error, all Counterstrike tracks were listed in the in-game jukebox using their internal name. The real names were provided by Frank Klepacki's website.

Aftermath tracks
None of the tracks from The Aftermath appear as CD audio tracks on the Aftermath game disc, due to the disc (most likely accidentally) containing the same CD audio tracks as Counterstrike.

Retaliation tracks
The Red Alert: Retaliation soundtrack consists of a mix of standard tracks from Red Alert and its expansions, and some new remixes that also appeared in Sole Survivor. The tracks did not have names in the Retaliation release, just numbers from 1 to 13. Somehow, a lot of the tracks in this release were given incorrect names by fans, and those names kept circulating in the fandom. The origin of these names is unknown, but since the game itself contains only numbers, they are irrelevant and not mentioned here.

Cut tracks
Most of these tracks are only known to exist thanks to the Command & Conquer: Red Alert - Remastered bonus gallery. All of them were included in the Remaster release, and on its soundtrack.

Disc release
The original Red Alert tracks were released on a CD in 1996, bundled with the Collector's Pack in Europe and the Domination Pack in North America. It was also available for purchase through the Westwood.com store.

Second soundtrack disc (Germany only)
In the German equivalent of the Special Edition, the soundtrack was released as two discs. The first disc is identical to the normal game soundtrack, with the exception that the bonus track is missing from the end of the Smash track. The second soundtrack disc is a compilation of commercial songs by various artists. Cobalt 60 released a special single called Crush, which itself was a remix of the track Crush from the game, and distributed 1000 copies among local DJs.
