<br>"The Black Hit of Space" - The Human League

I brought the CD player outside where I laid down my drip irrigation lines and rocked out to Human League. I felt very technological and industrious! (Some of the CD sounds like it could be the soundtrack to the inimitable [i]Metropolis[/i]!)

Ah, Metropolis, the Fritz Lang classic - NICE![/quote]


Well, there IS that version with the 80s score... would love to have it too[:)]

HUH?!? Did you say there's a version of Metroplis with an 80's musical score? I MUST HAVE THIS! Never heard of it. I do have the original.....

Yeah, I thought y'all had seen this one before:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 76-9876051

These are the songs featured in the 80s score of the re-release of Fritz Lang's [i]Metropolis[/i]. It's not available officially as far as I know. You're gonna have to buy it duped - IF you can find it in the first place. One weird thing is that I remember The Eurythmics having a song in there, or maybe just Annie Lennox, but they're not listed...[?]

1. Love Kills - Freddie Mercury
2. Here's My Heart - Pat Benatar
3. Cage OF Freedom - Jon Anderson
4. Blood From A Stone - Cycle V
5. The Legend Of Babel - Giorgio Moroder
6. Here She Comes - Bonnie Tyler
7. Destruction - Loverboy
8. On Y our Own - Billy Squier
9. What's Going On - Adam Ant
10. Machines - Giorgio Moroder

*Edit*

I did some more reading on this soundtrack and it appears I might be right. Not all the songs in the Moroder-scored version made it to the album being sold[B)]

[Horrorgrrl]

Currently listening to the extended version of "City Of Night" by Rational Youth.

That's cool that you sought out that list. But I remember some different songs. Wasn't Queen's "Radio Ga Ga" ( guilty pleasure of mine !) on the soundtrack, or at least tangentially connected with [i]Metropolis[/i]? I recall that the video for that song had scenes from the re-release of [i]Metropolis[/i] on it, while Freddy and co. flew around in a flying car. Like you, I also recall the Eurythmics being involved.

THis is totally cool....now I'm inspired to go check the movie out!

Since they're doing maintenance on our server right now, I can't listen to any streams. Pooh! [:(] I'm listening to a home made compilation of 80s tunes & Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain" is on right now. [:)]

I did some more diggin on this little curio... it has now hi-jacked my brain[:D] - and I read in a couple of places that the songs are the same. There were no other featured artists in this 80s version. All songs are composed by Moroder or Moroder and the artist, so this is pretty much a Moroder score. The differences are that the songs in the movie vary a little from the album versions. They may have been re-recorded for the album. Also, there are a couple of instrumentals that are not in the album, but were available as b-sides in the various singles which came from this. There are official vhs copies of this floating around on e-bay and Amazon. One last thing to note is that this version is by no means the complete movie. Moroder actually edited parts of this film intentionally in order to market it to mass audiences. This really got in the nerves of purists, but I think of this movie as more of a curiosity from the 80s and not a film I'd own as THE definitive Lang film. For that, I'd get this one:

Missing Person's "Walking in L.A." which always reminds me of a friend who thought it was called "Walking in a Lake" which would make a lot of sense because nobody walks in a lake...

I shouldn't laugh though, I used to think the guys in the background were singing "nobody's walking, fuckin' walking....walking" I was amazed it got past the censors & on the radio until I realized it was just plain & simple "walkin'".

Yeah, I wear my dorkiness like a badge.

[MARV]

Possession, by Sarah McLachlan. This song makes my spirit soar.....[:p]
