Red Mecca Call of duty full version free download. is the third studio album by English band Cabaret Voltaire. It was released in September 1981, through record label Rough Trade.
Background[edit]
In November 1979 Cabaret Voltaire toured the United States, and became strongly interested in the rise of the Christian right and its use of television, especially the fund-raising broadcasts of TV evangelistEugene Scott. They compared this to the rise of Islamism, devoting a side to each strand of religious politics on their 1980 mini-album Three Mantras. Red Mecca was a culmination of this interest. According to Richard H. Kirk: 'The whole Afghanistan situation was kicking off, Iran had the American hostages [..] we were taking notice [..] it's not called [Red Mecca] by coincidence. We weren't referencing the fucking Mecca Ballroom in Nottingham!'[1]
Cabaret Voltaire is one of the Trope Makers and Trope Codifiers of Industrial music.Formed in 1973 and named after the famous Dada nightclub in Zurich, the band combined harsh Suicide (band)-influenced Post Punk rock, instrument-and-voice effects processing, tape manipulation, and eventually such influences as Funk, Dub, Dance, and House to become one of the most prolific and respected artists.

NME named the Red Mecca the ninth best album of 1981.[8] Andy Kellman of AllMusic retrospectively praised the album, writing, 'Unlike a fair portion of CV's studio output, Red Mecca features no failed experiments or anything that could be merely cast off as 'interesting'. It's a taught [sic], dense, horrific slab lacking a lull.'[3]
