Metropolis (Robby Maria album)

Metropolis is a 2006 studio album by Robby Maria, a German electronic music project. The album is heavily influenced by the 1927 Fritz Lang film of the same name, Metropolis.

The album conceptually explores themes and moods evoked by the film, utilizing electronic soundscapes, industrial textures, and synthesized melodies to create a sonic interpretation of the dystopian city depicted in Lang's masterpiece.

Key characteristics of the album's sound include the use of synthesizers, drum machines, and samples to create a futuristic and often unsettling atmosphere. The music often shifts between ambient soundscapes, driving electronic beats, and melodic passages, reflecting the contrasting elements of the film's narrative, such as the opulent lives of the elite and the harsh conditions of the working class.

While not a direct soundtrack to the film, Metropolis aims to capture the essence and emotional impact of the movie through instrumental electronic music. The album is generally categorized within the genres of electronic, ambient, industrial, and synthwave music.
