What began as a necessity for the low-budget productions by Carpenter became a major part of his aesthetic, and established him as a pioneering figure in genre-film score work as well as electronic music in general. Now, flanked by his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, and with two albums (Lost Themes and Lost Themes II) of non-soundtrack material under his belt, Carpenter has decided to revisit some of his most beloved themes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This 12 & quot; 45rpm single includes the theme to the 1976 action thriller film & quot;Assault On Precinct 13 & quot; backed with & quot;The Fog & quot; from the 1980 film of the same name, which starred Adrienen Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis and more. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 45rpm 12 & quot; Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Mastered by Lotus Mastering & lt;br & gt; Limited Time Download Card & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;John Carpenter (1948) & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Side A: Assault On Precinct 13 & lt;br & gt; Side B: The Fog
John Carpenter Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;13 Classic Themes On One Vinyl LP For The First Time! & lt;br & gt; Includes Newly Recorded Works From 'Halloween', 'Escape From New York' & amp; 'Assault on Precinct 13'! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; John Carpenter is a legend. As the director and composer behind dozens of classic movies, Carpenter has established a reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of modern cinema, as well as one of its most influential musicians. The minimal, synthesizer-driven themes to films like Halloween, Escape From New York, and Assault on Precinct 13 are as indelible as their images, and their timelessness was evident as Carpenter performed them live in a string of internationally sold-out concert dates in 2016. Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 collects 13 classic themes from Carpenter's illustrious career together on one volume for the first time. Each theme has been newly recorded with the same collaborators that Carpenter worked with on his hit Lost Themes studio albums: his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Anthology is a near-comprehensive survey of John Carpenter's greatest themes, from his very first movie, the no-budget sci-fi film Dark Star, to 1998's supernatural Western, Vampires. Those sit alongside the driving, Led Zeppelin-influenced Assault on Precinct 13 theme, Halloween's iconic 5/4 piano riff, and the eerie synth work of The Fog. Carpenter and his band also cover Ennio Morricone's bleak, minimalist theme for The Thing. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; We also get vital new recordings of the themes to '80s classics and fan favorites Big Trouble in Little China, Escape From New York, Christine, and They Live, along with the romantic Starman, which earned Jeff Bridges his first Oscar nomination as a lead actor. The collection is rounded out by the menacing, heavy themes to Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness, the latter a Metallica-inspired riff originally played for the film by Kinks guitarist Dave Davies, and now played by his son Daniel. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; Die-cut sleeve & lt;br & gt; Collection of classic themes on one volume for the first time & lt;br & gt; Limited time digital download & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;The 3rd Installment In John Carpenter's & quot;Lost Themes & quot; Series On Limited Edition Transparent Red Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Much has changed in the musical life of renowned composer and director John Carpenter since 2016's Lost Themes II. Following the release of that album, he went on his first-ever concert tour, performing material from the Lost Themes albums, as well as
music from his classic film scores. He re-recorded many of those classic movie themes for 2017's Anthology album, working alongside son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies. The following year, he was asked to executive produce and compose the music
for the new Halloween movie directed by David Gordon Green, which promptly became the highest-grossing installment in the series. Now, he returns with his first album of non-soundtrack music in nearly five years, Lost Themes III: Alive After Death. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Underpinning Carpenter's renaissance as a musician has been his collaboration with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. They've composed and performed as a trio throughout this entire run, on studio albums, on soundtracks, and onstage. Here, the trio reaches
a new level of creative mind meld. Richly rendered worlds are built in the interplay between Davies's guitar and the dueling synthesizers played by the Carpenters. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & quot;We begin with a theme, a bass line, a pad, something that sounds good and will lead us to the next layer, & quot; John says of the trio's process. & quot;We then just keep adding on from there. We understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, how to communicate
without words, and the process is easier now than it was in the beginning. We've matured. & quot; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;John called the first Lost Themes album & quot;a soundtrack for the movies in your mind. & quot; On Alive After Death, those movies are even more vivid. The song titles here are among his most evocative, too. Lead single & quot;Weeping Ghost & quot; thrillingly conjures its title
figure in a wash of synthesizer, making the listener's neck hairs stand on end as the aural specter stalks the halls of a dilapidated mansion. The pulsing & quot;The Dead Walk & quot; makes the zombie apocalypse feel like a rave. The gloomy, atmospheric closing
track & quot;Carpathian Darkness & quot; casts shadow on the album with its strikingly effective minimal piano and splashes of twinkling synth. Each of the ten songs is a universe unto itself. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Whereas the original Lost Themes album came as a pleasant surprise after years of relative silence from Carpenter, the third installment sees him in the midst of a resurgent moment as a cultural force. The 2018 Halloween score gave his music its biggest
audience in decades, and the world he releases his new album into is one that has, at long last, given him the credit he deserves as a founding father of modern electronic music. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt;
...Lost Themes III's ebb and flow of interludes and set pieces has a cohesion that rivals his soundtracks. Carpenter delivers wonderfully spooky atmospheres on tracks like 'Turning the Bones' and 'Dripping Blood,' a moment of somber, introspective beauty
that stands in contrast to its Grand Guignol title. Elsewhere, the album revels in the gonzo gusto that made the director's movies cult favorites.... [T]he electronic tones Carpenter uses on the album are distinctive and often beautiful, particularly
on 'Dead Eyes,' where the otherworldly sparkle he's known for shines. Arriving at a time when so many artists are inspired by his music, Lost Themes III: Alive After Death proves Carpenter is still one of a kind.

John Carpenter Halloween Soundtrack LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Soundtrack For 2018 Halloween Remake On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; John Carpenter's Triumphant Return To The Series! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The new 2018 Halloween remake has the distinction of being the first film in the series with creator John Carpenters direct involvement since 1982s Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Carpenter serves on the new David Gordon Green-directed installment as an executive producer, a creative consultant, and, thrillingly, as a soundtrack composer, alongside his collaborators from his three recent solo albums, Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. The new soundtrack pays homage to the classic Halloween score that Carpenter composed and recorded in 1978, when he forever changed the course of horror cinema and synthesizer music with his low-budget masterpiece. Several new versions of the iconic main theme serve as the pulse of Greens film, its familiar 5/4 refrain stabbing through the soundtrack like the Shapes knife. The rest of the soundtrack is just as enthralling, incorporating everything from atmospheric synth whooshes to eerie piano-driven pieces to skittering electronic percussion. While the new score was made with a few more resources than Carpenters famously shoestring original, its musical spirit was preserved. We wanted to honor the original Halloween soundtrack in terms of the sounds we used, Davies explained. We used a lot of the Dave Smith OB-6, bowed guitar, Roland Juno, Korg, Roli, Moog, Roland System 1, Roland System 8, different guitar pedals, mellotron, and piano. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Unlike the Lost Themes albums, where the composers wrote the soundtracks for imaginary movies, Halloween saw the Carpenters and Davies collaborating on music set to images for the first time. Though it marked a significant change from their previous creative process, the trio thrived under the constraints and tight deadlines that film scoring work demands. & lt;b & gt;Being limited by the length of time in scoring the sequence, we focused on the directors tempo, timing, and vision, & lt;/b & gt; Davies said. & lt;b & gt;He would tell us what he had in mind, how long the cue should be, what emotion he wanted, and we would take it from there. Its only the three of us, there is no elaborate system. We wrote, performed, and orchestrated everything. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; For John Carpenter, who reunited on the 2018 film with original Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis, composing the score felt like a homecoming. Not only had he not worked on a Halloween movie in 35 years, he hadnt composed a soundtrack since his 2001 sci-fi thriller Ghosts of Mars. & lt;b & gt;It was great, & lt;/b & gt; Carpenter said of the experience. & lt;b & gt;It was transforming. It was not a movie I directed, so I had a lot of freedom in creating the score and getting into the director's head. I was proud to serve David Gordon Greens vision. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; For Cody Carpenter, Johns son, and Davies, his godson, it was surreal to work on something that means so much to generations of fans, and that they grew up around. & lt;b & gt;It was an honor for us to be involved, and we are really happy to be a part of something that so many people are anticipating and excited about, & lt;/b & gt; Davies said. & lt;b & gt;Working together with both the director of the new Halloween and the creator of the original Halloween was really a fantastic experience. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Limited time digital download & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

11 Brand New Tracks From The Horror Master! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;On Halloween 2014, the director and composer John Carpenter introduced the world to the next phase of his career with ''Vortex,'' the first single from Lost Themes, his first-ever solo record. In the months that followed, Lost Themes rightfully returned
Carpenter to the forefront of the discussion of music and film's crucial intersection. Carpenter's foundational primacy and lasting influence on genre score work was both rediscovered and reaffirmed. So widespread was the acclaim for Lost Themes, that
the composer was moved to embark on something he had never before entertained - playing his music live in front of an audience.
& lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;2016 would host the first ever John Carpenter tour and in true Carpenter spirit, a sequel to Lost Themes: Lost Themes II. The follow-up brings quite a few noticeable changes to the process, which result in an even more cohesive record. Lost Themes' cowriters
Cody Carpenter (John's son) and Daniel Davies (John's godson) both returned. Cody was recently also heard as a composer for Showtime's Masters of Horror series (Cigarette Burns and Pro-Life), and NBC's Zoo. Davies was a composer for NBC's Zoo, as well
as the motion picture Condemned. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;All three brought in sketches and worked together in the same city, a luxury they weren't afforded on the first Lost Themes. The result was a more focused effort, one that was completed on a compressed schedule - not unlike Carpenter's classic, notoriously
low-budget early films. The musical world of Lost Themes II is also a wider one than that of its predecessor. More electric and acoustic guitar help flesh out the songs, still driven by Carpenter's trademark minimal synth. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Long live the Horror Master!
