Metropolis (song)

"Metropolis" is a single released in 1992 by The Future Sound of London under the alias 'Metropolis'. It has a distinctly house feel with a funky break-beat and baseline with a choppy, repeating electroriff. Its unique sound had a major impact on early nineties electronica releases. It was made available to buy on their online shop in 2007, along with other rarities. It had a very big impact on house music at the time it was first released and set a standard for it and dance music in general.[1]

Audio

Below is a sample of the track.

gollark: For example, children being sold into slavery by their parents is obviously really bad.
gollark: I would make a much better supreme eternal world dictator for life.
gollark: Life isn't actually very well-defined. and even if someone comes up with a satisfying detailed definition there's no particular reason to presuppose that that's the point at which things get assigned moral worth.
gollark: This is very noncentral-fallacy of you.
gollark: I assume you mean something like "but ending lives is murder".
