Editorial Reviews
John Carpenter has been responsible for much of the horror genre's most striking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies he's both directed and scored. The themes can instantly flood his fans' musical memory with imagery of a menacing shape stalking a babysitter, a relentless wall of ghost-filled fog, lightning-fisted kung fu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell. The all-new music on Lost Themes asks Carpenter's acolytes to visualize their own nightmares.

Alas, Carpenter isn't playing along to any particular image this time around, as he has finally earned the freeing experience of simply playing music for his own vision and entertainment. Recorded with the help of Carpenter's son and grandson, Lost Themes has that old familiar sound that we've all come to love and expect from the master of horror, but it's filled to the brim with an abundance of heart and soul. Not that his previous soundtracks lacked that in any way, but this particular journey can be enjoyed along with him, as listeners can easily lose themselves in the array of hypnotic synths, strings and bass lines.
Opening with "Vortex", you immediately feel as though Christine is chasing you down, yet the track takes aim at your senses and does well to carry you away into a completely different world away from the classic 1983 film. "Obsidian" is very much reminiscent of In The Mouth of Madness, "Fallen" much like The Fog and "Mystery" maintains a Prince of Darkness tone. But I'm going to dispense with the comparisons of Carpenter's classic soundtracks. That would hardly be fair to a man of his talent and stature. If you've been a fan of the director's films and soundtracks, you'll most certainly enjoy this dynamic ominous batch of new material. Whatever emotion it evokes, it will be a soundtrack to your own story; no one else's on the big screen.
Let's be honest, here; John Carpenter is no John Williams or Hans Zimmer when it comes to scoring, however, the most important thing is he GETS it. John has a certain "sound" to his music, and I've never been able to pinpoint what it is, but whenever you hear a Carpenter song, you know it's him, and that's what this album has. Although he uses more up-to-date gear on this album, it still has that Carpenter vibe, and it's quite interesting to hear.
Happy to hear some GOOD electronic music among all the noisy crap being put out today. Can't wait for his next album.
