John Carpenter has been responsible for much of the horror genres most striking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies hes 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 kungfu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell. The music on Lost Themes is there for Carpenters acolytes to visualize their own nightmares. As is Carpenters style, repetition is the key to the thundering power of these tracks, their energy swirling with shredding chords, soaring organs, unnerving pianos and captivating percussion. Horror fans will be reminded of Carpenters past works, as well as ancestors like Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells and Goblins Suspiria. Theyre little moments of score from movies made in our imaginations, Carpenter says. Now I hope it inspires people to create films that could be scored with this music. Sacred Bones is now repressing this incredible debut by the one and only master of horror in a bunch of new colors in celebration of the labels 15th year anniversary.
