The Music of John Carpenter: Lost Themes (2015)

We're back, and with quarantine still in place, we've had a lot of time on our hands. So, what a great opportunity to really soak up some instrumental John Carpenter compositions from his 2015 album Lost Themes! Track-by-track, Chris and Nick break down the album of all-original Carpenter music (none of which has been heard in his, or anyone else's, films), and it's a must-listen for those who love his iconic scoring work on movies such as Halloween and Assault on Precinct 13. We also recap some of our quarantine film viewing and discuss some of our favorite film composers of this generation -- many of whom have some distinctive John Carpenter influences of their own. (Apologies for the sound quality not being quite up to our usual standard -- Nick's mic crapped out, and he's pretty heartbroken about that -- but we'll be back at 100% by our next episode on Big Trouble in Little China!)
