Metropolis (1978) / Kraftwerk Cover

Hello!
I've wanted to cover Metropolis for a while, it has mostly been a matter of setting up and filming the video lol. The original song comes from "Die Mensch-Maschine" (1978) album and follows with inspiration from Fritz Lang's film "Metropolis" (1927). Kraftwerk were heavily inspired and followed the design styles of Minimalism and Constructivism. I heard that they were inspired by Giorgio Moroder & Donna Summer's song "I Feel Love" creating Metropolis (don't know if that's true).
The background visuals I used are from this video: • Kraftwerk - Metropolis...
Please make sure to check out mikeboss' channel!
This song is covered purely for fun and entertainment, I truly love Kraftwerk as well as the other musicians I cover. Please support the original music as well, but I hope you enjoy the cover.

The Industry: You can't make a banger out of one lyric Kraftwerk: Hold my minimoog. Another bop mate, well done.

Love your interpretation. Every time I see a KW concert registratie they are so dull. Not your video, It has so much dynamics and visual interactions. Loving it.

[@Musik_Arbeiter]

Thank you very much! I tried my best to make the visuals as engaging as the music! 😄👍

[@space__idklmao]

That’s the point of their act… faceless- robotic, even- yet absolute banger music

[@israelfwm]

Hey, what kind of effect or synth did you use at intro ''tom tom''. Is it a synth bass? like a hammer. Thank you

[@Musik_Arbeiter]

Hello, are you referring to the "robot blip" sound throughout the intro? Or a different sound? I'm sorry I'm unsure which sound you may be specifically referring to?

[@israelfwm]

@@Musik_Arbeiter hey I'm sorry, I don't speak English very well. I'm not talking about the pad with phaser, I'm talking about the ''toc, toc...'' that is played during the song until stopping at 1:14

[@Musik_Arbeiter]

@@israelfwm Oh yeah that's "Die Roboter Blip" sound. It's a Synth bass patch actually. I used a VST called "TyrellN6" by u-he. It has a preset on it named Robot/Roboter under bass sounds I believe. I tweaked it a bit and acquired this sound for the intro. The plugin is free if you want to download it or check it out! I hope that helps! Thank you for watching 🤙

[@israelfwm]

@@Musik_Arbeiter oh, is there a patch in OP-X plugin or for Kontakt? Thank you

[@Musik_Arbeiter]

@@israelfwm I'm not sure, I believe it should be compatible with Kontakt? You're welcome 👍

[@MRANTN]

You can be the 5th robot member hahah 😳 Really is a awesome cover, i loved. Can you make some songs covers of the Computer World Tour? That would be cool, grettings bro! Really awesome cover

[@Musik_Arbeiter]

Thank you very much! Haha 😀 I'd like to try recreating the live versions of their songs from their 1981 tour in the future. I've been trying to make covers of their classic songs from their studio albums. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🤙
