Understanding 9/11SUB007 Subterrestrial - "The City Beneath" (REMASTERED)
Audio With External Links Item Preview
"The City Beneath" is a longform dark ambient piece inspired by the epic, groundbreaking 1927 science fiction silent film "Metropolis" by German director Fritz Lang. The composition explores the themes presented in the film and in particular, the subterranean city of the oppressed working class. The City Beneath" was composed and recorded in early May of 2010 and released as a CDr on Black Drone: 13 Series on May 13, 2010 (catalog # 13-7) in an edition of 26 copies. By 2011, "The City Beneath" was completely sold out and had gone out of print. The original recording was very slightly tweaked, cleaned up and overall remastered in late July 2011 and re-released on Subterrestrial Netlabel. New front and back covers were created from the original graphic materials.

Like user Deichbrand_1 said "The City Beneath" could've had more to it. A deeper and more elaborate soundscape featuring environmental sound elements that could bring the listener closer to this place it pays tribute to.
But, if all you're looking for is a solid and mysterious Dark/Drone Ambient piece. This will do.

My type of track, feelings of the limits of space, both out there and in us. Brilliant.

No offense meant, but the overall minimalism in the style does hardly wake any memories on the film Metropolis. Some kind of 'space ambient' is offered here, but nothing more. Solid stuff, but nothing outstanding...
