"Future World" by
Ganymed - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
The 1973 science fiction film,
"Soylent Green" is paired with the 1979
German disco band hit, "Future World"
-- a whole new look on the Stanley Greenberg screenplay
based on the Harry Harrison novel. The planet
is in the "over population" stage and
the environment has been effect by the greenhouse
effect making the temperature reach unbearable
highs.
The film starred Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young,
Brock Peters, Joseph Cotton, Chuck Connors, Paula
Kelly and was the last film for Edward G. Robinson.
Although Ganymed's tune outlines an "Automatic
Lover" style lyric, I have paired it with
some of "Soylent Green's" grayish and
disturbing scenes to give it a new contrast.
The song was a minor hit here in the US as it
appeared at the end of the disco wave -- but I
understand the band was still a bit hit in Germany
and surrounding areas. Their sound was recognizable
and in the early 80's a must for after-hours dancing
or drinking. Great synthetic feel.
