Interesting! Vortex sounds like classic Carpenter so I'm down for it.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

 

 

Everything about this will be amazing.

Love how John really doesn't give a shit about his appearance at this age.

So good. Classic Carpenter.

Awesome

most impressive. will buy this on vinyl probably, if the rest of the album is up to this quality.

I just asked Norman Records to look into this, I need to buy the vinyl!!

Damn black & white vinyl sold out in under an hour!

Can't wait for this, should be pretty special. Absolutely love John Carpenter's soundtrack work.

Yeah Norman still has the Ltd Vinyl, to the rescue!!

Bleep have it too on both vinyl and CD.

Hmm that sampler CD is tempting, but I KNOW the vinyl will arrive fucked up from Blerp.

So you guys all ordering this have all the various soundtracks issued so far, mostly on Varase Sarabande throughout the 80s and 90s?

I'm just curious because there is a fairly substantial back catalogue of John Carpenter over the years. If I was a new to him, I would be starting there rather than this new release.

This is going to be great. I have;

 

Assault on Precinct 13

The Fog

Escape From New York

Halloween III

The Thing

 

Any other essentials?

That's a good selection. I would add 'Prince Of Darkness' to your list.

Cheers Fumi, will add to my 'to buy' list (it grows every month!)

That=Truth

The main theme gets reprised into the ground, but I do have a nostalgic soft spot for the 'They Live' 20th Anniversary CD release

 

These recent Carpenter vinyl editions from 2013/14 are worth buying for the artwork alone.

 

They Live and Halloween in particular.

Death Waltz is systematically going thru the Carpenter discography & remastering for vinyl. I'm not sure if they're going chronologically.

Christine all the way man, one of his more underrated soundtracks but has my single favorite theme he's ever done

 

(end credits longer / more produced 80s core version)
