(313) Girogio Moroder's Metropolis
I'm wondering if seeing Giorgio Moroder's 1984 version of Metropolis is worth it? It's making the rounds here in Michigan later in October. I've seen the Jeff Mills' one, which was fantastic and had no idea there was a Moroder one at all. Which then makes me wonder what people think are some of the best electronic scored films?
(313) Re: Girogio Moroder's Metropolis
Checking out the Morodor soundtrack right now on Spotify... As to your question a few ones come to mind right away: 1. First and most obvious, Vangelis' work for Blade Runner continues to impress. Incredible mood, ambience, and inseparable from the imagery. 2. Fight Club. Perfect pairing. 3. Tron: Legacy. I don't listen to much Daft Punk, and wether the movie was any good or not, I think they knocked it out of the park on their end. -Art I'm wondering if seeing Giorgio Moroder's 1984 version of Metropolis is worth it?

Re: (313) Re: Girogio Moroder's Metropolis
most of the music on the colourised Moroder version of Metropolis is horrendous, unfortunatelt. Thomas Bangalter's work on Irreversible and Enter The Void is awesome. I would also recommend Eduard Artemyev's work on Solaris and Stalker then there's John Carpenter.

Re: (313) Girogio Moroder's Metropolis
Haven't seen the Mills version. Did see the Moroder version -- in Genoa in 1984, it was the only movie you didn't need to speak Italian to watch. What I can remember of it was that the music was pretty grand mid-period Moroder. I'd see it again. Still wish I could find the version I saw on Public TV in the 70s that had a creepy abstract synthesizer soundtrack. What I can recall (and that was a LONG time ago) was that it sounded as though Throbbing Gristle had done the soundtrack. And what I'm really dying to see is the restored version they've made from the print found in Argentina.

On the other, I can see why the movie was cut so drastically. With the extra scenes it's clunkier, like Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler. You owe it to yourself to watch Fritz Lang's later films Spies and M (a very silent-feeling talkie). In my opinion, they're superior. Sometimes I make my own techno soundtrack for the former. J

Don't forget Cliff Martinez's soundtrack for the Solaris remake. Also quite good!

M is brilliant; Peter Lorre is fantastic.

You do - the remake is pretty lame compared to it, though not a bad effort considering On Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Robin Pinning robin.pinn...@me.com wrote: I love this soundtrack. Haunting.

Re: (313) Girogio Moroder's Metropolis
I would like to hear the Moroder version. At the time, I really liked the music Mills wrote for Metropolis, but always wondered why Jeff hadn't scored the whole thing, which was disappointing.
