We could try a rescore...

I've had two friends who have done a re-score of this movie. Both very different.

One of them we screened by building an ad hoc outdoor cinema in a parking lot in downtown Burien. Big screen, big sound system, everyone bring a chair and your drink of choice in an appropriately anonymous container.

Then a couple of people brought BBQs, and those portable gas fires, and about 30 of us sat around, ate well, and watched our friend live remix the entire soundtrack with a modern electronic vibe.

Seriously cool.

rec.music.industrial used to organize re-scorings of silent films. They'd pick one and everyone would take a part of it.

Well one, Metropolis is the shit.

And two, holy crap that looks and sounds so awesome.

A slice of history, to be sure.
