Doubt this is official. IMDB says it's a sci-fi movie form 1927. They also lists some songs (not TD, and strangely from 1984):

Well, I don't understand this. Maybe someone know, but I would not buy this as an official TD release. No info on this on the Voices in the Net website either.

"sci-fi movie from 1927"? thats like saying "citizen kane is the Story of this newspaper dude"... ;)

Metropolis is one of the most important and groundbreaking movies of all time, inspiring countless others for decades such als Bladerunner etc...

Giorgio Moroder produced a Disco Soundtrack to a colourized version in the 1980s, which was highly controversial but I Kind of liked it (the Music, certainly not the colour)

never heard of a Version by TD "inspired by the movie" - but there is one from PPM:

I saw this yesterday on eBay and immediately dismissed it.

It's a shame that those who are not "in the know" with TDs body of work could fall for a scam like this.

It angers me and I wish I could do something about it.

On the second photo you can see, that this is again a release by "Orange records" who already released the very doubtful "Soldier"-OST. So I think, the music on this CD might be from Tangerine Dream, but again just some kind of compilation from other material.

Those Orange Records boots are amusing. Isn't that the same cover art used for the Metropolis rock soundtrack that featured a couple tracks by Giorgio Moroder?

It's sort of similar, but then ANYTHING to do with Metropolis will look similar...

I see. I'm not much into movies, so I had never heard about it. Just found out it was a very old movie, so I could not understand the 1984 soundtrack. You provided the answer to that. :-)
I have Metropolis Poetry, but actually I did not know what this Fritz Lang movie mentioned on the cover was.
Regarding this so called TD soundtrack; the track titles are not any TD titles I know. I tried search for a couple of them on Voices in the Net. So I too wonder what music is on this.

I compared them and they used art from elsewhere for the front cover, but the back cover art is indeed a swipe from the '84 Metropolis LP. http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1132886

...And I too wonder what music has been used.

Obviously the titles have no connection to any proper TD track.

I suspect some of the tracks MAY be from Dead Solid Perfect/Three O'clock High, simply because of
the short durations.

I may be totally wrong of course.

I'll have to see into this.. 8)

The track times on that CD cover add up to nearly 90 minutes of music, but the ebay listing doesn't say anything about it being 2 discs. The possibility of it being actually PPM's Metropolis Poetry does seem to be the most likely, but whoever made it must have padded it out with additional music from other sources.

The last boot The Soldiier was one disc and strangley ran at just under 90 minutes. Older players will struggle to play this and I thought any more than 81 minutes would be impossible. I have a leonard Cohen boot that also runs just under 90 minutes on one disc. Plays fine too.
