Joakim - Metropolis "The Lost Soundtrack" '2023

Tracks list

After Georgio Moroder, Dieter Moebius or Jeff Mills (who coincidentally is
re-releasing his version almost at the same time) , it is Joakim’s turn
to compose a soundtrack for one of the greatest masterpieces of Cinema -
actually the first movie to enter UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register,
Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. Originally commissioned for the 2022 reissue of
Metropolis, a restored version of the original director’s cut, the music
was removed from the commercial release of the movie after the Murnau Foundation
suddenly realized there was gonna be a new additional soundtrack with the
reissue. According to them, any new music would “alter the original
piece”. The Blu Ray discs were removed from the beautiful box set released
by Potemkine, destroyed and replaced by a Blu Ray without Joakim’s music.
So we decided to release the music on its own, with the Dolby Atmos mix that was
made for the blu-ray edition together with a classic stereo mix. It’s a
dark journey into the depths of Metropolis, its industrial noises but also its
moments of light through Maria’s character and Freder. Quite a change of
scenery, from the exploration of the living realm on Joakim’s previous
album Second Nature to the quintessential dystopian human-built city! Dolby
Atmos mix will come in a separate zip file with the purchase of the digital and
/ or vinyl album.
