In The Wire mag there is a section called Invisible Jukebox in which artists,musicians, composers etc. are given blind hearings of tracks which they have to comment on. This month it is John Carpenter's turn. He has a new album out as well as being a famous film director, he also makes his own music. Here is a track from the new album called Vortex.
The album is called Lost Themes and is also reviewed in the same magazine. This is one of the reasons i love The Wire and ir is always a joy to read.
Found this hour long John Carpenter and Alan Howarth movie music mix on You Tube as well.
You may not know the name Alan Howarth, but you'll surely have heard his music before. He's been involved with the sound design of movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Poltergeist and all of the Star Trek movies. Some of his finest work, though, has come in collaboration with John Carpenter, whose soundtrack to Escape from New York has been beloved, rinsed and re-edited by countless DJs. Renowned for his murky and unstable atmospheres, Howarth's work is perfect for Halloween time.
