5.0 out of 5 stars Lost Carpenter & Howarth Classic, January 12, 2008

By	snowleopard (Oregon) - See all my reviews

This fantastic score to a pretty interesting movie is sort of like the long lost classic from this duo.

John Carpenter was arguably at his best musically when teamed with Alan Howarth. Together they scored Escape From NY, Halloween 3 (poor movie, with great music), Christine, Prince of Darnkess, Big Trouble in Little China (another lost gem, with Howarth just assisting), and They Live. This music has a little more up-beat, muscular sound to it than some of their other electronic, minimal scores, but that doesn't keep it from being terrific. There's a really good mix of analog and digital synths here, but while electronic, it still has a wonderful sound that JC and AH brought without just sounding grating or annoying, adding bits of blues riff's for example to augment the movie. Great stuff.

If you are a Carpenter fan, especially of music from the Carpenter-Howarth era, you really need to track down this CD for your collection.
