John Carpenter Instagram – Out Today! Renowned composer and filmmaker @johncarpenterofficial and his musical foils @ludrium Cody Carpenter and @daniel_davies have just released Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988), a newly recorded and perfectly sequenced collection of some of the most iconic themes from Carpenter’s extensive filmography, via @sacredbones
The collection deploys an expert curation of career highlights, including selections from Escape From New York, Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, Assault on Precinct 13, Prince of Darkness, The Fog, Halloween (and its sequels), and beyond. Among its highlights are re-recordings of three lost cues from The Thing, not included on that film’s original soundtrack album. The Thing marks one of the rare occasions that John Carpenter entrusted the task of scoring one of his films to another composer, the legendary Ennio Morricone. Upon receiving Morricone’s score Carpenter felt that the film would benefit from the inclusion of additional music and took the initiative to record and insert multiple synth driven cues.
