Another CD single, dedicated to Command and Conquer… Two Tribes!
As I mentioned earlier in my posts, I mentioned of another CD single that was released when Command and Conquer 2:Tiberian Sun was released. First, it was Cobalt 60’s Crush for the German Red Alert soundtrack but we’ve got something else from Germany. It’s a Frankie Goes to Hollywood song, Two Tribes, by a German electronic-house-metal band, Think About Mutation. Yes, these genres may seem mutually exclusive to each other but their crossover types of music is actually awesome! I couldn’t find a proper image of the single itself so I had to snatch this from a German eBay auction bid. Here it is:
- Two Tribes
- Angel
- Breaktime 42
Yup, this female character is actually wearing the GDI helmet from Tiberian Sun (and in Tiberium Wars and Kane’s Wrath as well)!
Anyways, the CD single comes with a Quicktime MOV video of the Two Tribes song as a music video! All of the band members of TAM (coincidentally, their acronym is spelled as my last name) dressed up as GDI soldiers, as they play along the music. A bigger bonus is the inclusion of the cutscenes from Tiberian Sun, interspersed into the actual music video! It’s a perfectly fitting song, that sets quite well about the war of GDI vs Nod. Below is the music video found on YouTube.
Unfortunately, the band pretty much went defunct and all of their albums went out-of-print. A number of eBay auctions related to this CD single can easily be found, which shouldn’t be too bad to buy. European C&C fans may get them relatively easy due to the changing nature of foreign currencies. You can also find their albums out there on eBay. “Motorrazor” and “Housebastards” are some of my favourite albums, so check their music up for some dancing and moshing!
