Tragically, the Alloy orchestra will probably all but ruin the presentation.

I'm pretty sure that Fritz Lang would not have approved of the Alloy orchestra creating sound effects and modernist interpretations of his seminal work. A better choice would've been the Mont Alto Orchestra in lieu of full orchestral accompaniment or a recording of the recent reconstruction's Berlin premier score. While the Alloy orchestra may be popular in some circles their "music" is definitely an acquired taste that many never acquire; for that reason it is greatly overhyped in the promotional ad. I guise it was cheaper to hire three noise makers than a real orchestra or chamber group of any merit.
If shown in my area I hope that the Metropolis restoration receives better treatment with a properly recorded orchestral score during it's brief theatrical run; otherwise, I'll wait for the BD release.
