Product Description

From Amazon.com
With a passion for the zany but an ear for more conventional melody when needed, the Alloys offer the best of both musical worlds in this alternately appealing and grating collection of scores inspired by and made for equally peculiar silent movies. Included is the tasty but teasing one minute and 49 seconds of music to Victor Seastrom's The Wind, an exotic suite for the Soviet science-fiction comedy Aelita, Queen of Mars, and the savage percussion on First Night. But the most dramatic and listenable moments are for Fritz Lang's Metropolis. These five tracks fluctuate from eerie pulsations connoting the futuristic cityscape, hissing percussion to complement the clockwork of zombified workers, a romantic interlude of synthesized strings to commemorate the film's heroine, and a resounding finale aptly called "Escape from the Underground City." --Joseph Lanza
