Musically, Metropolis' sole album is difficult to pigeonhole. It's a panoptic view of the Krautrock genre. I hear elements of other German groups as diverse as Joy Unlimited, Nine Days Wonder, Pell Mell, Lily, Os Mundi, Eiliff, and Ardo Dombec. Plenty of superb electric / acoustic guitar, organ, mellotron, horns, flute, female & male vocals. Final 9 minute piece 'Ecliptic' is a total monster. Suffice to say, if you're a fan of the early 70s German underground rock scene, then Metropolis is a no-brainer purchase.
The above replaced the crappy Germanofon boot CD that was my original copy.
No legit reissues as of 11/22/24.
1997 (first listen); 2/5/11 (review / new entry); 1/18/20
