RE: [313] jeff mills' metropolis soundtrack [addendum]
AAAh well ... in my bloodlust for knowledge I came across this (forgive me if it's already been posted): NEW RELEASE INFORMATION Tresor 155 Artist: Jeff Mills Title: Metropolis Label: Tresor Cat.No: 56155-2 Release: October 2000 Barcode: CD 7 1875 56155 2 2 - 15 exclusive new tracks - Jeff Mills first concept album since Waveform Transmission Vol. 3 (first released in 1994 by Tresor Records / Tresor 29276-2/6) Product Information The Man From Tomorrow returns with a new concept and soundtrack album to Fritz Lang's hugely influential silent film 'Metropolis'. Having just released the 'Every Dog Has it's Day' double-pack on his own Axis imprint, Mills is still travelling the world with his incendiary Techno dj sets but once again surprises with a new turn of hand. This is an ELECTRONIC COMPOSITION concept album. It is purpose-designed to be heard while watching Fritz Langs´ 1926 masterpiece. Mills´ own mastery of the sound of the future excellently and equally matches Langs´ master-vision of the Utopian Dream; narrative, passionate, and timeless. The future of electronic music is now. Listen to it and understand why Jeff Mills is known as the best Techno producer in the world. Introduction by JEFF MILLS: Often, I am inspired to create music soon after watching movies or going to the cinema. The probable cause, my mind being inflicted becomes stimulated not only by the plot but also, intrigued by the method in which the producer choose to present the plot of film to the viewer. Communicating through stories has always been an intricate part of how mankind evolved. By translating and moralizing stories from generation past, the cascading of ethics somehow embed themselves within our subconscious. Thus, creating a platform for individual behavior patterns. In this respect, the architecture of urbanism is the most definitive collaboration of intersecting platforms that we as humans have created. Urbanism, collectively existing in mass or secluding oneself within it? Which ever you believe, urban spree generates opportunity and inspiration. Despair and misfortunate. It is often the catalyst for moral majority persuasion and cause for which most people think catapults right and wrong. Nevertheless, there must be a medium. In 1926, Fritz Lang.'s timeless masterpiece, Metropolis exceeded the laws of morality. With his acute executions of detail and dynamic formation of storytelling, he managed to capture minds and extort acts of passion. Needless to say, his contribution to the advancement of motion pictures was bold enough to create political manifestations of such proportions that the scale of influences have yet to be match by any other film in history. His socialist overtones peered across the line of ethics while at the same time, presented the fruits of capitalism and in their applications. Only by the heart will there be inner peace thus, outer. It seals the fate in this story, a lesson, I hope, should be reissued with time. 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.

Re: [313] jeff mills' metropolis soundtrack
in science-fiction, Mills' career to date has been marked by an attraction to European culture, particularly German - despite being a resident of Chicago, he spends more time in Europe than in the States and used to live in Berlin. Visually speaking, the illustrations used on his Axis and Purpose Maker releases mirror 'Metropolis's grainy, mono aesthetic. His catalogue of releases belies an ongoing fascination with both the future and landscapes, and he's often talked of his interest in architecture. Of course, the film's silent format does lend itself to musical reinterpretation rather well too. Right, you could draw multiple conclusions to what is going on on the screen. And that is really parallel to techno - it's usually instrumental, nameless, faceless, and it's kind of up to the listener to decide what he or she hears. And because it's a black and white, it's a very one dimensional, very minimal type of film, so I thought that would be compatible. Yet Mills clearly empathizes with the sub-text of 'Metropolis's plot, hence the statement on the accompanying publicity material for his album in which he talks - in typical Mills-speak - about 'reintroducing the theories and ideology of Metropolis to the cyber-youth of today': You know, it's a wonderful lesson that the movie has to teach - it's about the needs of the many versus the needs of the few, he says, echoing the Star Trek sample used on his former band Underground Resistance's 1992 release, 'The Theory'. In this day and age, looking out the window here in Tokyo, it's very easy to imagine that there are a lot of people making decisions for a lot of other people that they aren't even conscious of. And that's basically what the movie is about. There are a few people, very powerful people, making all the computers for us to work off, for us to use, they're shaping the way that we live. And it's very important to not to forget that the people have the say in the end, not Bill Gates. *In the light of this statement and 'Metropolis's (rather clumsy) portrayal of class and economic structure, I wondered if Mills sympathized with Marxism himself? In certain ways, yes. Theoretically of course, yes, it [socialism] is paradise. In practice we've learned that it just does not coincide with the mentality of Man. But the theory of it I think is really interesting. But being from America, from Chicago, I'm a capitalist [laughs], so I'm kinda caught in-between. Like Moroder, Mills has had 'Metropolis' recut to fit his soundtrack. On this he worked with Detroit's Pilot Pictures company, who also built his Axis Records website. The film premiered at Paris's Pompidou Centre in September, but Mills acknowledges that this was unknown territory for both him and Pilot. They're actually a design firm, but we just work on everything if we're qualified to do it or not! Yet while Mills may have been motivated to compose 'Metropolis' by a desire to promote electronic music in the movies, the irony is that of all the techno producers out there, Mills is the most likely to undertake such a task. Always brimming with ideas, he's already moving on to new projects. Top of the list is the launch of his new label, Mission 6277, which will be the first time Mills has released other people's material since Robert Hood departed from Axis in the early nineties. Mills says he's been overwhelmed by the response to his call for demos and expects the first of a string of Mission 6277 compilations to be released by the end of the year. We're going to try to keep them small so that they're more concentrated and not just a barrage of names that you never heard before, because we're definitely trying to expose people. Then there are the planned additions to his website, axisrecords.com, like a global party and event calendar and the introduction of online games which will allow users to play with sound and images. Another solo LP, 'The Eyes Of Edward Molten', based around a fictional character Mills has created, is also in the works, destined to for release on Tomorrow. And he's still searching for a suitable individual to take over the next run of Purpose Maker releases. Four record labels, a busy website, a steady flow of releases, a clothing line and now his first movie soundtrack, and all from a tiny office in Chicago, staffed until very recently by just Mills himself, and fitted in between a punishing DJ schedule which means he's away more often than not - you have to wonder how he does it. Mills grins. We just work hard, that's all. Tom Magic Feet Jeff Mills' 'Metropolis' is released 30th October on Tresor.
Re: [313] jeff mills' metropolis soundtrack
In response to Andrew's query, the fact that it's only on CD (are you sure?) isn't a problem for me as I don't DJ (not more than once a year, anyway!). I think the music itself is pretty good on a standalone basis (closest to the Axis material), but having now seen the film I think it will work very well with the images. Mind you, the version I rented seemed to be the longest, most boring one available - over 2 painful hours with a really awful noodly electronic music soundtrack. Mills has re-cut the film to fit his soundtrack, but that aside it seems the one to see is the Giorgio Moroder recoloured version, which I think come in around the 80 minute mark. I saw the Moroder version as a kid and was entranced by it but from memory it was quite disjointed and the music and production was a little kitsch - and not in a cool 'camp' way. I think it has all the hallmarks of the 80s in retrospect. I always thought of Metropolis as a techno film, along with Bladerunner, whereas hip-hoppers are usually into Star Wars (old skool) or maybe kung fu (Wu era) or The Godfather (gangsta). It's interesting how the newer musical styles/subcultures appropriate movies as part of their collective aesthetic. Madonna based her video Express Yourself video on Metropolis (she is not unusually attracted to anything that has a connoctation to her name - and Maria is a Madonna type protogonist) and cleverly deconstructed the role of Maria. I really like the Mills score - I couldn't think of someone better to do it, it is a very symbolic move and the score will stand the test of time. It's quite subtle in parts. I think he's approached it similiarly to the way he handled X-103 Atlantis - the music tells the story, but in an understated way. It's very filmic and evocative. I think it helps to have seen the film - it's a mix of romance, socio-political theory and idealism, futurism and mythology, I can see its appeal to Mills. It's interesting too that Fritz Lang abandoned his architecture studies for something all the more unorthodox. Lang's work was more or less unappreciated at the time and I think that is something that afflicts Mills too in some circles. Great interview, Tom. I hope they leave the comment about Mills and his thoughts on Marxism in there as this was something I was wondering about when I received the CD. Peace C

Jeff Mills/Metropolis
Here's what NME say about the Jeff Mills Metropolis soundtrack - though I've always found using FSOL's Accelorator album has been a great score for it in the past! Does anyone have any idea which cut of the film Mills' score is for? BABY DIDDY JEFF MILLS, the legendary second wave Detroit techno DJ and former UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE member, has produced an updated soundtrack for the film 'METROPOLIS'. Following the controversial Queen soundtracked re-release in the '80s, Mills has produced a techno soundtrack to the classic 1926 Fritz Lang film. The original film, a startling Modernist parable, has a singular resonance with both Mills' and the original techno producers' futurist outlooks. As Mills explains, It is our intention to re-introduce and educate the theories and ideology of Fritz Lang's 1926 masterpiece to the cyber youth of today. It seems fitting that this movie, the movie that shaped the young minds in the '20s, with its timeless message of solidarity and the romanticising of its Utopian dream world be reiterated and reintegrated at the beginning of our new century. This is the Mills' first album since the 'From The 21st', Japan-only album from the beginning of 1999. The album will be released through the stalwart Berlin-based techno label Tresor on CD only. A double vinyl version will be released through Mills' own Axis label. Through the advances made in technology, Mills concludes, and the acute sense of futurism felt by the youth of today, we hope to capture the minds and expand the imaginations of the ones that will soon form and forge our new world.
