I came across the Reds while trying to find the component tracks for the soundtrack to Michael Mann`s excellent "Manhunter" film on the `net. These guys just sound awesome...........there`s no other way of putting it. I`ve rarely heard synth and guitar meld so completely in music, and vocals that literally growl and menace you from the speakers! There is not a bad track on this album, in fact there`s not even a mediocre one.!

An album that seems to tie you in knots while you listen to it.

Music for damaged souls - listen and remember the dark times if you dare!

Now then.....What about a release for the "Manhunter" soundtrack on C.D guys?

I first started listening to the reds when the Band of the Hand soundtrack came out in the 80s. They have that smooth, eerie rock sound that's great for a night drive. Michael Mann used their music in all of his 80's films and TV shows, but unfortunately those albums are no longer made. I've hit every used record store in the country trying to find the reds but to no avail. Once I found this CD released and available on Amazon.com I bought it immediately... I haven't stopped listening to it. Looking for something different? ... and you like Michael Mann films, buy this CD!

This disc will creep into your brain and haunt you. Just try and find anything that this band did in the late 80's ... The Reds are excellent ... beg for more!

The band's debut was not released in 1992; it was much earlier, as I have a Canadian-only album released in 1982 on the Stony Plain Records label and entitled "Fatal Slide". I assume it is very out-of-print at this point, but it's a great album and reminiscent of The Sound, another overlooked band from a similar time. You can't buy it, but you can listen to it at Scaredcat Radio (just Google "Scaredcat Radio").
