Janelle Monae’s The Archandroid: Suites II and III is one of my albums of the year. First, ‘Tightrope’ was released (free download via iTunes right now), Monae covered Charlie Chaplin, impressed (or freaked out Prince) and then I saw her live show in London and it blew me away. The album is on repeat around Nialler9 HQ of late. With thanks to Warner Ireland, I have five copies of the album on 12″ vinyl to giveaway.

All you have to do is answer the question below in the comments before Monday the 19th of July.

Q :The Archandroid is inspired by Fritz Lang’s classic sci-fi film Metropolis. If you were to record an album inspired by a movie, what would it be? For bonus points – who would perform it?

  1. If I’m going for a silent film (so as to give the tunes maximum exposure) , I’d go for Sunrise; a song of two humans by FW Murnau (best known for Nosferatu)

    Beautiful cinematography that still holds today. For this kind of movie, with its mix of quiet contemplative moments and frenetic crescendos I couldn’t think of a better contemporary act to do it than Conor O’Brien.

    So if the IFI are reading – a Sunrise screening with Villagers soundtrack please!

  2. John B Keane’s – the Field
    A contemporary modern day longplay featuring Cas Pas Cap, adebiski Skank, two door cinema club etc interspersed with Spoken Dialogue of selected quotes by the Bull McCabe given by Mick Pyro and Senator David Norris

  3. I would like the new Predators movie to spawn the show Predators On Ice, and for that show to inspire R Kelly to put out another concept album and hip-hopera, tentatively titled “Predators: Trapped In The Ice”.

  4. Slaughterhouse-five, performed by Vast Aire, produced by El-p…

    OR…

    Circle of friends, performed by Mary Black, produced by El-p

  5. I’d pick Korkarlen (The Phantom Carriage) and have Benoit Pioulard do the soundtrack. It’d be all wispy and ethereal…wooooo!
    PS Nialler if someone breaks into your house and steals these LPs it WASN’T me, K?

  6. If I were to record an album inspired by a movie, that movie would be A Clockwork Orange and I’d like it to be performed by Crystal Castles.

  7. Withnail & I as soundtracked by The Pogues. Songs could include ‘Get in the Back of the Van’, ‘Streams of Whiskey and Child’s Piss’ and ‘Fuck the Lighter Fluid, Where’s the Bleach?’
