Notes

Metropolis Poetry was inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis, a 1927 silent movie.

 


This was the first (and so far only) album by Picture Palace Music that was released on Tangerine Dream's label Eastgate Music.

 


The Eastgate Music Shop about the CD release"Thorsten Quaeschning's legendary 'Picture Palace Music' is beginning to write history. Do you like being close to the action? We dare to give you an advice then: Don't miss to have this fantastic CD!
Inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis from 1927 this silent-movie-soundtrack captures very well the spirit of the author's expressionist vision of the future -- a bold challenge which Thorsten and his band are coping marvelously. Electronic Post Rock at its best!"

 


The CD version of this album consists of twelve tracks; three more tracks are available as 'outtakes' from the PPM web shop.
