Metropolis
(Heyday) Used CD $5.00
Recorded live at Castro Theater in 1991 as part of the Smithsonian Institute’s Exhibit of Degenerate Art, Club Foot scores Fritz Lang’s 1926 film about a technological future where workers toil with mind-numbing devotion to their machinery while the privileged few pursue their pleasures in palaces built in the sky. Compositions by Richard Marriott, Steve Kirk, Beth Custer, Sheldon Brown, Nik Phelps and Myles Boisen draw inspiration from Stravinsky, imperatives of West African folk idioms, swing, jazz, rock, blues and modernist atonality.
