Carpenter, John - Lost Themes II
SKU
28-SBON23599.2
This is the second non-soundtrack album by film-maker John Carpenter, following closely on the heels of his Lost Themes release. In addition to directing his films, Carpenter has always provided his own soundtracks, and this one, a bit more 'rock' based than the last, is another great one! Fans of Goblin & John's always great soundtracks will eat this up!
"2016 release from the filmmaker and musician. The musical world of Lost Themes II is also a wider one than that of it's predecessor. More electric and acoustic guitar help flesh out the songs, still driven by Carpenter's trademark minimal synth. This manifests itself brilliantly in songs like lead single "Distant Dream," which hitches a familiar Carpenterian beat to an expressive drum performance and rides it to a thrilling conclusion. The eerie "Angel's Asylum" let's an ethereal synth line command the first three-quarters of the song, before turning over the melody to an acoustic guitar, and "Virtual Survivor" delivers a blast of the sci-fi menace that characterized his great scores for films like Assault on Precinct 13 and They Live. Lost Themes II delivers eleven compelling new tracks for which fans can continue to score the movies in their minds."
