Georgio Moroder ~ Machines (Metropolis soundtrack version)

This is the version of machines that appears on the actual film soundtrack, which is slightly different from the official release version on the soundtrack album.

The music comes in two parts, the first part is the opening theme and the second part is from the workers riot scene. (with crowd noise)

I have mixed both parts into one single music track, and added some screenshots from the original film.

@fungiman76 The one problem between the 2 versions is that the 2010 has footage that has only be found again due to the brutal editing that happened in 1928. In some ways Moroder was only working with half a films worth of footage. It is almost like watching two different films though

I walked til my feet bled to see this, I was so in love with Moroder's "movie" music, which always sounded so cool in a theater at the time. I had the album memorized by the time I saw the film so the longer, re-mixed versions in the movie made me ecstatic. It was in "surround" so the trumpet-y effect at :55 roared at you from the back speakers while the bass drum rattled your ribs. Oh, and the movie was interesting too, ha ha.

I remember watching this version in my film class and being blown away. The "traditionalists" might be turned off by Moroder's 80s soundtrack but I see it a different way. He took a classic silent film that didn't appeal to most audiences in the "modern age" and brought it to new generations of movie-goers. I think more silent movies should be restored, rescored and remastered.

I've seen the Moroder version (many years ago on TV) and the 2010 restoration version on HD.

As a film, the Moroder version is nothing short of murdering the original. It is so brutally edited that watching the restored version was like watching a different (and much better) film.

However, Moroder's version introduced me to this great film and while oh-so-eighties, I find it to catch the film's atmosphere and some of the songs are actually good.

It's not slightly different than the album, it's very different, IMHO, with this being the far better version. All the better because it makes you look for the film itself instead of just making due with the soundtrack!
