Metropolis (1927)

Composer: Giorgio Moroder
Year: 1984

Music is a subjective art like any other, so before Fritz Lang purists unleash giant Molochs in rage, please bear in mind that Giorgio Moroder tackled his alternative Metropolis edit and soundtrack with the best intentions and full respect for the original. After all, Fritz Lang had gone searching for a future hell. Moroder helpfully found it for him: it was called the ‘80s.

3 Solaris
A recent one was Ben Frost & Daníel Bjarnason's recent re-scoring of the original Solaris film. It's pretty gorgeous stuff, although i'd wager not as gorgeous as the one Cliff Martinez composed for the remake. More

4 What about Queen?
Metropolis is one of my favourite movies and I did have a video with the film having a score by Queen. I have since lost the video though and can't find a copy anywhere with the Queen score. Much as I love the blu-ray release, I was really hoping that it would have an option to play the Queen score as well as the actual score. More

5 what about John Cale?
Nice selection, but you forgot to mention the extraordinary John Cale's soundtrack to Tod Browning's "The Unknown" (with an astonishing Lon Chaney performance). John Cale even made a live tour with it (it was presented here in Lisbon in the 1994 European Culture Capital event). More

6 You missed my favourite...
British Sea Power's scoring of 'Man of Aran' was another absolutely breathtaking one. More
