"Revolution Action" gave its name to Atari Teenage Riot's 1999 Revolution Action E.P., but the song itself belongs to the German digital hardcore crew's album 60 Second Wipe Out; the EP, pressed on 12-inch vinyl and CD, was there to push the record. Alec Empire and Hanin Elias wrote it, and David Sardy and Andy Wallace handled the mix.
Two videos were made for it, and MTV banned one of them. The name travelled, too: it doubled as the title of a tour and of a live various-artists release, Revolution Action Japan Tour 1999 EP. A live take landed on the Too Dead For Me EP and later on the rarities set Redefine the Enemy, and the song turned up again on the 2006 compilation Atari Teenage Riot: 1992-2000.
