Metropolis Rescore is a soundtrack by The New Pollutants for the silent film Metropolis. The original version of the soundtrack was for the 118-minute, digitally restored version which was released in 2002 by the F.W. Murnau Foundation and Kino International. In 2004 The New Pollutants composed and produced the new soundtrack and premiered it live at the 2005 Adelaide Film Festival. The live performance featured actor/singer Astrid Pill as vocalist, musician Zoe Barry as cellist, Tyson Hopprich on turntables and beats and Benjamin Speed on computer, samples and fx.

In 2011, they remade the soundtrack to match the new 2010 restoration of the film, premiering at that year's Adelaide Film Festival. This version was released as a digital download in 2013.

Reception

The soundtrack has been described as "an infectious and unique approach ranging from Germanic trip hop and lo-fi electronica to unforgettable classical and breathtaking cinematica." [1] Metropolis has subsequently performed at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI),[2] as a part of the 2006 Commonwealth Games Cultural Festival and at the 2006 Revelation Perth International Film Festival.[3]
