John Carpenter is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, editor and composer. Born on January 16, 1948 in Carthage, New York, he is known for directing movies such as "Assault On Precinct 13", "The Fog", "Escape From New York", "The Thing", and "Halloween". Carpenter himself composed most of the soundtracks for his films, often collaborating with Alan Howarth. His father Howard Carpenter and son Cody Carpenter are also talented composer/musicians. He was previously married to actress Adrienne Barbeau from 1979 to 1984.

In addition to his work in film, John Carpenter's music has had a significant impact. In the eighties, dancey versions of his music were released on LPs and a series of 12" records. These recordings were created by [a243061], although their involvement was not always mentioned on the album sleeves.

Back In Stock

In 1981, prolific film director John Carpenter made Escape From New York, a near-future dystopian action film which has inspired a whole generation of movie producers and musicians. Mr. Carpenter also took care of its soundtrack, originally out on Milan Records and reissued in 2000 by Silva Screen, and again now. If you haven't heard it before, it's a true journey into the depths of electronics. The double LP contains 27 songs, all representative of the chilling scenes in the film, ranging from vintage drones, to flurries of orchestral instrumentation, and even bursts of new age sounds. It's a mood record, and one which should be enjoyed with an open mind and an attentive set of ears. A classic.
