██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Jeff Mills was born 18 June 1963 in Detroit, ██▓▓
██▓▓ Michigan, USA. This hugely respected US ██▓▓
██▓▓ techno DJ relocated from his native Detroit ██▓▓
██▓▓ (where he set up the Underground Resistance ██▓▓
██▓▓ empire with "Mad' Mike Banks and Robert ██▓▓
██▓▓ Hood) to the New York region in 1992. After ██▓▓
██▓▓ the split he began recording for Tresor ██▓▓
██▓▓ Records and formed the Axis label, licensing ██▓▓
██▓▓ the Tranquilizer EP to Network Records. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Hood, who worked on several of Mills" ██▓▓
██▓▓ productions, recorded his second EP, Minimal ██▓▓
██▓▓ Nation, for Axis that year too. Mills ██▓▓
██▓▓ recorded work has continued to embrace a ██▓▓
██▓▓ traditionalist form of techno, staying true ██▓▓
██▓▓ to the founding ethos of Underground ██▓▓
██▓▓ Resistance. He has continued to collaborate ██▓▓
██▓▓ with Hood, recording several sides for the ██▓▓
██▓▓ M-Plant label. In 2000, Mills scored a ██▓▓
██▓▓ new soundtrack for Fritz Lang's classic 1926 ██▓▓
██▓▓ film, Metropolis. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Scoring a soundtrack to German director ██▓▓
██▓▓ Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis seems like ██▓▓
██▓▓ a suitable task for Jeff Mills. The film ██▓▓
██▓▓ itself is a landmark, not just of the silent ██▓▓
██▓▓ era but of all time, surely one of the most ██▓▓
██▓▓ visionary films ever, and Mills is known for ██▓▓
██▓▓ his similarly visionary work as one of the ██▓▓
██▓▓ world's most conceptual techno artists. The ██▓▓
██▓▓ resulting soundtrack is definitely a ██▓▓
██▓▓ monumental undertaking, further accentuated ██▓▓
██▓▓ by Mills' roots in Detroit, a modern ██▓▓
██▓▓ industrial wasteland not much unlike the ██▓▓
██▓▓ fictional dystopia of Lang's film. The album ██▓▓
██▓▓ goes scene by scene through the film, some ██▓▓
██▓▓ tracks, like "Entrance to Metropolis," ██▓▓
██▓▓ quietly foreboding while others, like ██▓▓
██▓▓ "Flood," dizzily archaic. As you may expect, ██▓▓
██▓▓ Metropolis resembles Mills' conceptual work ██▓▓
██▓▓ more than it does his dancefloor work. More ██▓▓
██▓▓ than anything, his X-103 project, Atlantis, ██▓▓
██▓▓ and his Axis recordings, particularly the ██▓▓
██▓▓ From the 21st album, are good touchstones. ██▓▓
██▓▓ And when held up against these, Metropolis ██▓▓
██▓▓ shines. You can sense the shifting sequences ██▓▓
██▓▓ of the film, and it's quite thrilling toward ██▓▓
██▓▓ the conclusion when the music intensifies. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Mills relies primarily on synthesizers, ██▓▓
██▓▓ forgoing the hard, banging percussion you ██▓▓
██▓▓ sometimes correlate with him. In fact, only ██▓▓
██▓▓ about half the tracks employ a percussive ██▓▓
██▓▓ foundation while every one is awash in cold, ██▓▓
██▓▓ eerie, inhuman synthesizer ambience. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Furthermore, no single track stands out. All ██▓▓
██▓▓ are parts of the whole and quite similar to ██▓▓
██▓▓ one another in tone, differing mostly in ██▓▓
██▓▓ terms of mood. Ideally, Metropolis should ██▓▓
██▓▓ accompany the film's images, but if you've ██▓▓
██▓▓ seen the film you can envision the ██▓▓
██▓▓ corresponding scenes as you listen. And if ██▓▓
██▓▓ you haven't seen the film, you should; it's ██▓▓
██▓▓ magnificent. You don't necessarily need to, ██▓▓
██▓▓ though, since Mills' work here is amazing on ██▓▓
██▓▓ its own, but you'd be missing half the ██▓▓
██▓▓ beauty of this soundtrack, which is as much ██▓▓
██▓▓ adaptation and interpretation as it is ██▓▓
██▓▓ invention. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Please note that the LP version includes an ██▓▓
██▓▓ exclusive track called "Key" which is not ██▓▓
██▓▓ part of the CD which has already been ██▓▓
██▓▓ released. ██▓▓
