Re: (313) Girogio Moroder's Metropolis
About the Blade Runner soundtrack, if you can try and find it (torrent, etc) there is a bootleg "esper edition" that has long instrumental and dialogue cuts that were not included in the official soundtrack release. -Art
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.

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.

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 also made the trip out to Detroit Historical for this. Jeff's edit of the film is pretty substantial, from an original running time of about 2.5 hours to just over an hour or so (the Moroder version was 80 minutes). The first 10 minutes are transformed from a series of motion shots of the city to more of a layering of stills. I found that dialogue was pared back to the minimum necessary to retain the basic plot. The soundtrack married well, particularly scenes in the Fredersen Garden, the workers at the machine, and Futura's cabaret dance. I found myself wishing that Jeff would compose additional and varied tracks to fill out the original length of the film, because I feel it suffered from heavy editing. The Techno exhibit was nicely done for the space allowed. Particularly liked the wall of bios, and the original Tom Thewes piece for DEMF 2000. It's more brilliant than I remember. If you're going to visit for DEMF this year, make sure to stop in at the museum. -- im

Griffith weren't widely available/accepted by the rest of the world at that point, especially as America and Germany were very much doing their own things. The editing advancements of Lev Kuloshov and Sergei Eisenstein from the teens and twenties were the really revolutionary moments in the history of editing, and I'm fairly certain it took until at least the '30s for the rest of the world to catch up (possibly to even see these movies for the first time???), especially as the advent of sound and then color overshadowed their accomplishments. Forgive if any details are wrong - I haven't studied this stuff in a while... One of my film professors used to rant about how we don't really know what film editing could've become if it weren't for sound. So much experimentation with pacing was going on back then. I had to sit through a completely silent version of Potempkin (ie, no accompanying soundtrack at all). It was amazing how difficult it was to focus despite the innovative editing. *Any* music would have helped. :) Anything pre-1930 really takes some effort to get into, especially when we're bombarded with MTV-style editing all the time now. Think of it like trying to listen to someone's early works as they just start to fiddle with techno. :) Tristan --- http://www.mp313.com <- Music http://www.metrotechno.net <- DC techno + more http://www.metatrackstudios.com <- DC DJ/Production studios http://phonopsia.tripod.com <- Hub [EMAIL PROTECTED] <- email - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Think > studio system and remember political interfence/patronage (hmmm... that > sounds very contemporary, 'Black Hawk Down' anyone?) Well, actually... When _Metropolis_ was made, Lang was still a part of the _German_ studio system, and if you've seen any of his other Weimar-era movies (_M_, _Dr Mabuse_, _Frau im Mond_), you know that there's more happening in his movies than is immediately apparent. In _Metropolis_, for instance, isn't it striking the way that the supposedly cool, rational leaders of the City of Science that is the Metropolis rely so heavily upon the occultist Rottwang? And aren't the workers _purposefully_ portrayed as easily-duped sheep? It seems to me that the ending is a lot more ambiguous than it portrays itself. The Expressionists loved to use broad strokes to hide all sorts of disturbing stuff under the surface. It's hard to see some of the themes in edited versions -- I saw a "full" cut of _Metropolis_ once, a long time ago, and was struck by how much more the movie is about than its surface story. It's a different rhythm, sure, but there's a lot to reward your time if you can adapt to it. Something that can be said about Mills' music as well. I think it's great that he chose a movie that so perfectly captures the ambiguities implicit in Detroit's history, as well as techno itself, for his first score project. I really really want to see it myself.

It's as much a fairy tale as Snow White; it's as far from naturalistic as one can get. You can see that as corny, or you can see it as the armature that Lang hangs his amazing visual ideas on. The editing style and visual vocabulary of silent movies is completely different from what came after; you need to get your rhythm in sync with the odd pacing to really enjoy it. I think Mills' fascination with Metropolis came out of it's futurism; Mills own preoccupation with futurism meshes nicely with it... And this is verging even MORE off topic, but most movies from the 20s and 30s seem really strangely edited to modern ideas.

er and me... :And mine too: : :> My tuppeny worth : :I thought the film was almost awful. I'm glad they cut it down. God only :knows why such a lumbering primary school plot originally required over two :and half hours. i guess its due to the fact that this was pretty early in the history of films and so there is quite a lot of 'dead air' so the film could be considerably shortened b y simply editing it a lot tighter to be more like modern films. :The feeble grasp of Marxism (in the 1920s for God's sake!) :is bad enough, never mind the saccharine "love conquers all" resolution. i would agree the ending is a little naive but why should lang have to make a marxist film simply because it is the 20s? while the film is about workers it does not mean it has to be a marxist film (in fact the fact the workers uprising was essentially a failure would suggest this was not langs intent.) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Memo from Alex Bond of PricewaterhouseCoopers Start of message text Was it on this list that someone said that Mills was to change his DJ style from now on? I'm sure he'd said he was going to play different stuff, was there any of that going on last night? Was thinking on checking him in Manchester, but if he's going to go through the old routine I'll keep my money in my pocket I think.

Re: [313] Metropolis @ Royal Festival Hall
And mine too: > My tuppeny worth I thought the film was almost awful. I'm glad they cut it down. God only knows why such a lumbering primary school plot originally required over two and half hours. The feeble grasp of Marxism (in the 1920s for God's sake!) is bad enough, never mind the saccharine "love conquers all" resolution. Oh dear. Visually, though, "Metropolis" entirely deserves it's reputation. The robot replica was pretty techno. Mills' music is ace, but I don't think it fitted all that well, though it worked best when it was more storming: "Robot Replica" and the destroy the machines scene. There were a lot of moments where I thought the music was ill timed - though it was cool to watch a film with the soundtrack as the object of interest, and I think I appreciate much more how much effort has to go into scores to be successful. Scoring for a silent movie and striking the balance between subtlety and expressing when there's no dialogue is probably even harder. I think Mills' Metropolis comes down more on the, err, "Scarface" side of that balance :) >From where I was sat in cheap seats, the mosh pit that developed during the DJ set was pretty entertaining, though some charted accountant behind me started dancing as if he'd been restraining himself all evening at this point and whipped out one of those little light gadgets. Matt Herbert put on a great show. Though I still liked the idea of it better than the sound. I got one of those free cds which I've not listened to yet, but I might do as requested and pass it on :) Super Collider, by contrast, seemed pretty inept. I really liked the LP, but this show, IMO, was like sitting through bad performance art set to turgid trip hop (with a weak drummer to boot).

When Grammenos and I saw Metropolis here in NYC last summer I seem to recall Jeff saying that he intended to do a DVD release, and that he had permission to do so. Of course this all may very well have changed since last summer. The plan is/was to place both his first edit of the film (more of a Mega-mix kind of thing) along with the final one and the sountrack all on the same disc. As to the film, I have been a fan of Lang's film ever since I first saw it in my pre-teen years. When I first picked up the Metropolis "12 on Axis, while I kind of dug it, I knew I wouldn't fully appreciate it until seeing Mills' edit of the film...and I was right too;-) The NY screening wasn't quite as mad as the London one sounds, the crowd here was definitely skewed towards the filmista set as opposed to a techno crowd. We also got a question/answer session with Jeff after the film, which doesn't sound as it would have quite come off at the London screening.

Yeah the "come on Jeff" was surreal! But it did display a capacity for irony! It highlights the fact that for many of us, there's still a sort of incongruousness in listening to that kind of music, en masse, when it's not being immeadiately 'played' (djed I mean) or live. ...

RE: [313] Metropolis @ Royal Festival Hall
My tuppeny worth: As I suggested to Toby Frith earlier, Metropolis is a film which worked intriguingly on many levels and I agree 200% that "In order to appreciate >>the CD, I think you have to watch the film with the music." You know, I don't think I appreciated *just* how true that was until it started rolling ... I rank my music by order of merit at home (anorak & proud!) and Metropolis has to go to the front of 2000 after last night ... Something else which I found striking is that you've got to see the thing re-dubbed with the Jeff Mills's Metropolis 'score' to appreciate what happens when you dub a primarily digitally-produced track to analogue format. The sound quality changes somewhat - but I don't mean interms of 'worse/better': I eman that the usual analogue effect of 'warming' sounds up, applies. It gives the whole thing a much more cinematic feel, moods and textures are enhanced and the sharp sort of 'cd' quality edge is distilled. Overall, to me, Jeff Mills is a hero for reviving a film which is so classic it's almost archetypal -especially the underlying theme - it's always shocking to remember that millions of Americans (in a different America, true) espoused the ideas which that film encapsulates, less than a century ago. That Jeff Mills did it with such panache ... it's commendable I think. Maybe one day, it will be commended. >-Original Message- >From: rob webb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 10:17 AM >To: 313@hyperreal.org >Subject: Re: [313] Metropolis @ Royal Festival Hall > > >Toby wrote: > >>I really enjoyed Radioboy's set, very dynamic and all, but I think one >>would >>get a bit tired of him >>destroying stuff all the time.

"Robot Replica" makes a lot more sense now. spot on Toby, i thought Metropolis was excellent too - Mills' soundtrack matches the flow and mood of the film really well. it's difficult to know what to make of his dj set afterwards. on one level it kicked, but on another i found to be a bit samey - other than "Jupiter Jazz" it was an hour's worth of hardish techno. a bit more variety would've been good, but then again would the crowd've been into that? it's like the DE9 cds... i find myself uncontrolably bobbing along to the music, even tho it's also kinda boring. guess that's the 4/4 for you. hmmm. as for Matthew Herbert - imho he puts on a great show, but as far as the music's concerned i'd rather hear a Herbert set than a Radioboy one. i quite enjoyed Super_Collider, and it looked like they were into it themselves. as Marc said their performance used some v.creative visuals, and the tracks themselves were pretty cool - loads of heavy funky bass. i wasn't too impressed by their first lp, so it'll be interesting to hear how the new one sounds. rob _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [313] Metropolis @ Royal Festival Hall
I made it along as well. Herbert was definatly fun. he did a similar thing at the Big Chill Festival, but also had a female vocalist and was playing live keyboards over the top of his on the fly sampling shinanigans. The best thing for me though was the man himself, jerking around like some mad Tefal scientist. Its always heartening to see someone in the flesh whose music you've been listening to for so long and to discover that they are a clearly insane :) Super Collider were pretty cool, though not really my thing. Jamie Lidell had a fairly good stage presence though and visually they were cool. I definatly agree that Mills' music sat really well with thew film, especially the parts with the workers working and then destroying the machines. Unfortunatly there were a couple of idiots a few rows in front who ignored most of the film and disrespectfully talked fairly loudly throughout it, then had the nerve to jump up and start bowing in Jeff's presence as soon as he appeared behind the decks. Shameful. I left when he started spinning and everyone stormed the stage, it was fairly comical for a while, but as a musician Mills is top notch, as a DJ i'm not really into his style. Good night though. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[313] Re [313]: Metropolis @ Royal Festival Hall
Hi, got to agree it was a brilliant night. It was great to hear the Metropolis soundtrack in context, and just to see the film for the first time - very impressive for a 1926 vintage film, definitely ahead of it's time. It was good to see all of the usual UK 313 suspects (hi Nick, Alice, Anya ) and a lot of the familiar UK techno faces getting down to Jeff's set at the end of the night. If you get the chance to see Metropolis I'd recommend it. It was a very strange experience seeing it all go off at the Royal Festival Hall - the only other time I've been there was when I went to see Placido Domingo with my Mum (don't laugh ;-), I don't remember there being any stage diving and people jumping off of balconies on that occasion - and there was definitely no funk. In fact I don't even remember anyone dancing either. That was pretty damn good for a school night. sImon From: "Langsman, Marc" To: "313 Detroit" <313@hyperreal.org> Subject: [313] Metropolis @ Royal Festival Hall Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 09:28:48 +0100 Just a quick report on Jeff Mills / Metropolis at the Festival Hall in London last night Although Si Begg was orignally on the line-up it looks like he was replaced by Matthew Herbert, giving it some crazy Radioboy stylings... this was fairly quality as matthew herbert proceeded to sample/loop crazy sounds from tearing up gap boxer shorts to chucking cornfalkes around to throwing McD's burgers in a wheelie-bin !

i am on the digest so i don't know if this has already been discussed...but metropolis was sweet. i have never seen the film but felt that even though the movie was cut from 2.5 hours to 60 min, it was complete in plot. plus having jeff mills introduce the film and then answer questions was quite nice. the soundtrack that jeff made finally made sense when added to the edited film. the submerge building is great inside though it still has the old laundry workers union sign on the outside. UR had opened S.I.D. for shopping all day and I picked up the Model 600 Update whitelabel, UR 3000, and the Los Hermanos EP. all three are dancefloor destroyers. i prefer the B side on the UR 3000 EP but both tracks are great. the Model 600 is almost evil electro with strong showings on all four tracks. the Los Hermanos EP was great too, but i think the pressing was bad. there were four or five skips on each side where the needle would jump about 4-5 grooves. did anyone else who has this have similar problems? there was talk of an after party of sorts after the last screening. does anyone know what went on? -sam __ Do You Yahoo!?

[313] Metropolis Screening at Submerge
Picked this off the Submerge website: March 5, 2002 Sounds of the Metropolis < Jeff Mills to Moderate Detroit Screening DETROIT < Metropolis, director Fritz Lang¹s iconoclastic vision of the future, is a paragon of science fiction cinema. Originally released in 1927, the film has a found a resonant voice in the 21st century, juxtaposed with an electronic soundtrack produced by Jeff Mills. An exclusive viewing of Metropolis accompanied by Mill¹s orchestral interpretation will take place in three showings Sat. April 20 at the Metroplex Room located in the newly refurbished Submerge headquarters, 3000 E. Grand Blvd. Following the screenings, Mills will be available for comments and questions. Mills weaves chord progressions and effects with Lang¹s social commentary < the metropolis < where workers revolt, soulless machines crank and robots morph into people. The 2000 production debuted at the Centre de Pompidou in Paris last year. The film has since been screened in Japan, Spain, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, and Turkey. Detroit is the second American city to premiere Mills¹ rendition of Metropolis. A native Detroiter, Mills is an icon in the field of electronic music. Known for his futuristic productions and DJing agility, he first gained notoriety as the "Wizard" on Detroit radio in theO80s. Inspired by the emerging Detroit techno scene, Mills teamed up with Mike Banks to form Underground Resistance. Together they conceived a sound that epitomized the landscape of Detroit. Mills eventually moved on to pursue his flourishing DJ career, and quickly became the world¹s most-in -demand DJ. Though he had left Detroit, Mills was drawn back to the studio. He founded Axis Records in the '90s, creating music that changed the course of dance music rhythmic patterns. Expounding on the notion of turntablism, Mills initiated his second label Purpose Maker. In 1999, Mills launched his third label, Tomorrow, as a forum for exploration in electronic thought. With the soundtrack¹s release, Mills is a maestro to an original science fiction work of art, incorporating the expressionism and Bauhaus techniques. Metropolis fell into narrow window of time in Weimar Germany shortly before the Nazi party demolished this thriving culture. The original release set the course for films such as the Star Wars trilogy, capturing the public¹s thirst for special effects. Mills¹ version is not the first attempt to add an aural landscape to Metropolis. Gottried Huppertz first developed a score for the 1927 showing. More recently, Georgio Moroder's 1984 soundtrack enhanced the color version. What Mills has achieved is an alignment with the original style balanced within a format for the future. As Lang said in a 1927 interview. "Film has an advantage over all other expressive forms: its freedom from space, time, and place." Mills, who will release to new cuts this spring, has stretched the boundaries of Lang¹s perceived time space continuum. Showings at 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. with a reception following at Submerge.

Re: [313] Metropolis film & soundtrack
there are a few versions of metropolis around (including a colored version). i rented one that seemed to be maybe 1/2 hour longer than the cd. and for the most part i could kinda figure out when the music was in time. i thought the music was perfect for the movie too. i remember mention a while ago that it was gonna get a dvd release but i don't know if that's true or not. kaojyan > As I understand it, they are making a longer version, so more music will be > composed.

Actually, the cd was released on Tresor, but Jeff only let them press some of the tracks on vinyl (I believe three tracks were given to the Tresor vinyl release). Six more tracks were released on Axis under the same name. AFAIK there was never a 2x12" on Axis. The cd still has more tracks than both vinyl versions together.
