In 1994 composer Galeshka Moravioff decided to write a different soundtrack for Metropolis. It was totally different than the one composed by Georgio Moroder. It was all instrumental, piano and keyboard were the prominent instruments. It is Moravioff's soundtrack that is used on the Film Museum of Munich's restored version of Metropolis. I enjoyed this soundtrack. It is interesting to hear a different musical interpretation of the film. It is like seeing the film with a different pair of eyes. |
If you are into Techno music, Jeff Mills' Metropolis should be included in your music collection. This soundtrack with its futuristic synthesizer sounds complements the film well. Proving the timelessness of the film itself. Jeff Mills had this to say about Metropolis and his soundtrack: "It is my intention to reintroduce and educate the theories and ideology of Fritz Lang's contribution of Metropolis to the cyber-youth of today. Implying the timeless message of solidarity and the romantising of the perfect world. A Utopian Dream. It seemed fitting that this movie, the movie that shaped the young minds in 1926 be reiterated and re-intergrated at this beginning of our new century. We hope through the advance made in technology and the acute sense of futurism by the youth of today, we can capture the minds and expand the imaginations, the ones that will soon forge and form our new world. |
