John Carpenter: S/D

i always fall asleep to the fog, it rules

I love The Fog. I love its pace, even with the more horror movie friendly inserts he had to add. It's a ghost story about spooky smoke, it's supposed to be slow.

(checks to make sure this is on the ILM thread side)

I mean, even knowing this stuff is like catnip to me, the new one (Lost Themes III) is just so good.

Opening few tracks on the third volume of his new-but-sounds-old records (Lost Themes III: Alive After Death) is hitting the spot. God bless this man.

I guess there’s one way to verify that you’ve been killfiled.

Stoked to get this. Love cinematic music while driving, like Murcof's Remembranza or the first G!YBE. His first two are great for nighttime road trips.

Played it again this morning and I think it’s better than II and maybe on par with the first one, but “Vampire’s Touch” may just be the best non-score song he’s put out yet.

co-sign, this is another fantastic and fun listen.

Few things make me smile as much as artists in their seventh or eighth decades doing peak-caliber work.

Anyone heard the Halloween Kills soundtrack yet? I liked the 2018 soundtrack since it was the same lineup as his other new albums, but I'm imagining this one might be hitting diminishing returns and largely similar (also haven't seen the movie yet since we don't have that particular streaming service).

the soundtrack is dope, better than the '18 film imo

That's what I was hoping to hear, I'll definitely be picking this one up too then.

"Director and composer John Carpenter picks 60 minutes of his favourite Horror and Sci-Fi scores. Featuring music from Jaws, Psycho, The Thing, Forbidden Planet and The Exorcist."

no really deep dives in there, but it was a fun listen

Fog fans, stick with this one.
