Number 119: Red Flag - Count To Three
Brothers Chris & Mark Reynolds formed Red Flag in 1984 in California. They released several singles and EPs until they were finally able to put together a full-length album, 1989's Naive Art. "Count To Three" did not make any sort of chart impact, but it's a great track from this criminally-underappreciated band. I have "Count To Three" at #119 on my Top 200, and we'll see these guys again before we get to my#1 song.
Whole lot of percussion going on there!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Red Flag is criminaly underrated. I even like their later, goth phase!
ReplyDeleteThis version is different than the one I'm used to. Is it a remix?
ReplyDeleteThis is the one I've always heard in Canada...
DeleteInteresting. The version I have is sans the drum machine and a slower tempo. They're both great, though, but this one is a lot more dancey.
