The version shown on TV had a greatsoundtrack. Way much better than what Moroder did once for thisother old German movie "Metropolis" ! Thing is, it seems no credit aregiven to the composer/band who did it and IMDB lists several versionswith different composers. "Faust - Eine deutsche Volkssage"http://imdb.com/title/tt0016847/combined The beginning song for the credits (the only song in the movie) soundsa bit like some In Extremo (the German folk metal band with thebagpipes) but the rest is way out of their domain. When some very shortprocessed voices are introduced as the movie goes towards conclusionaround the time Gretchen is in prison and dreaming of past days itbecomes totally eerie. I sure would like to know who did that score since that person mightvery well have other interesting recordings. For some it might be sacrilege to do this for a silent movie; for meit's a great mesmerizing soundtrack :-) > I use mplayer for this as in: > mplayer -vo null -vc null -ao pcm:fast:file="$OUTPUT" "$INPUT" Thanks, I'll give it a try.
