Metropolis - Fritz Lang's movie with music by Kraftwerk

[@jeffstone2136]

I have often wondered why Kraftwerk never did a full music soundtrack for Metropolis. I think we can all agree it would have been stunning.

[@anacarolmsc]

they kinda did :)

[@peggyfranzen6159]

Actually , there has been a release of " Metropolis", with a Theremin soundtrack.

[@peggyfranzen6159]

The " Metropolis", sound track with a Theremin has been done.Thank you.

[@joezava8257]

Metropolis, Spacelab...The Sound NRG of Giorgio⚡Moroder 1977 Kraftwerk post I Feel Love, Chase, From To The Eternity etc.

[@borntoclimb7116]

Good question

[@Peridactyloptrix]

Oh man, I got so excited when the beats of the music synched up perfectly with the ticking of the clock!

[@peggyfranzen6159]

Ah, guy- Taylor series, and...

[@peggyfranzen6159]

Oh, Riggght- an assembly line is the now " cool", antithesis of an assembly line. Wow.

[@2degucitas]

The pairing is inevitable.German synth band doing a piece of music about a classic german silent movie....natural fit. Thanks for mashing them up for us!!!

[@TheDejael]

Excellent synchronizing of music to the film! Kraftwerk's brilliant tribute piece to Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS, from their 1978 album THE MAN-MACHINE (EMI-Capitol Records).

[@KnoxBronson]

This is so weird. I remember back in 1978, the movie Metropolis came on the local PBS channel and just for fun I put on the album Metropolis for a soundtrack. I remember thinking back then that the way the two meshed was incredible. Remember, this was a pre-vhs world. Hadn't thought about it until now. Thanks for posting!

[@dproust]

I watched Metropolis at home a few years ago and my Swedish housemate walked in as this scene was playing. he said "jesus, that place looks grim. All they need is to install a pub underground". I always think about that when I watch it now.

[@KnoxBronson]

Yes! Back in 1978 I was watching "Metropolis" on channel 9 (local PBS station) in Berkeley. I turned the sound on the TV down & played Kratwerk's "Metropolis" over and over while I watched the movie. It was amazing how it synced up. Happy to see this! Great minds ... etc. :)

[@krisgr2196]

You'd played just this Song over and over? Well, it seems like I should do this also 👌

[@wientz]

I like how the guys leaving work are walking out just a little faster than the the ones coming in

[@TheyMadeMonsters]

Grew up listening to this and I've been inspired ever since to try and be as alternative. Absolutely original music that needs to be continuously listened to !!!!

[@SynGirl32]

We need to ask Kraftwerk to make a new soundtrack when this film turns 100.

Excelente adaptação, unindo dois mundos. MInha grande paixão é esta viagem eletrônica, tanto no sentido visual como sonoro. O futuro como era visto nas décadas de 20 até 80 é magnifico. Somente algumas pessoas conseguem entender.

No.Most individuals realize humanity is the highest common denominator, not the least.The beauty is compassion, truth, love...

So cool how that fit together. thanks

[@lrollia]

So my school decided to play this as we walked into assembly I don't think I've ever been so scared in my entire life I legit thought it was the holocaust

[@healthylifehappywife8501]

Whaaaaa???

A local film aficionado in Toronto, Reg Hartt, played the film METROPOLIS with an all-electronic score including this.

[@antoniomissere2163]

bravo, hai fuso alla perfezione musica ed immagini

[@jacopofumanti4566]

Antonio Missere in realtà è una vecchia canzone che a quanto pare coincide perfettamente con l'inizio del film

[@s4ndwichMakeR]

The beginning fits well but the rhythm and melody can’t express the agony of the workers.

[@asleep2855]

开头合适，但节奏和旋律不能表达工人的痛苦。

[@JCTelenio]

What if I were to tell you that I am one of those workers?

Perhaps a bit late reply, however if you still do not know it is the City Alarm. Maria is sounding it in the scene where she rescues the children.

[@brookeside6642]

What a beauty ! I have always wondered if the band have younger members of family who are involved in music to carry the great music going ?

[@TheDanBlan]

I tried this today! Before I watched this video. Apparently I'm not the only one with great ideas.

Am amazing song group to an amazing film. and it fits too.

Because the point is that Kraftwerks Metropolis was inspired by this movie and underlying concepts.
