John Carpenter's Lost Themes Soundtrack CD John Carpenter:

John Carpenter has been responsible for much of the horror genre's most striking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies he's both directed and scored. The themes can instantly flood his fans' musical memory with imagery of a menacing shape stalking a babysitter, a relentless wall of ghost-filled fog, lightning-fisted kung fu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell. The all-new music on LOST THEMES asks Carpenter's acolytes to visualize their own nightmares.

Opening with "Vortex", you immediately feel as though Christine is chasing you down, yet the track takes aim at your senses and does well to carry you away into a completely different world away from the classic 1983 film. "Obsidian" is very much reminiscent of In The Mouth of Madness, "Fallen" much like The Fog and "Mystery" maintains a Prince of Darkness tone. But I'm going to dispense with the comparisons of Carpenter's classic soundtracks. That would hardly be fair to a man of his talent and stature. If you've been a fan of the director's films and soundtracks, you'll most certainly enjoy this dynamic ominous batch of new material. Whatever emotion it evokes, it will be a soundtrack to your own story; no one else's on the big screen.
