Escapism
John Carpenter - Escape From New York (Original Film Soundtrack) [SILLP1493 UK 2022 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] There are just film soundtracks ...and there are iconic film soundtracks, here is one of them. Recorded with regular musical associate Alan Howarth, Carpenter's 1981 sci-fi movie soundtrack is a minimalist analogue synth work of art, recreated here from a recent repress/expanded edition on blue vinyl by Silva Screen. As those opening bars of the main theme gently fade in, the listener is whisked away to a post-apocalyptic world of monotone synthetic rhythms, syncronised beats and analogue loops. For lovers of ARP & Prophet-5 synthesizers and Linn LM-1 drum machines. You now have the option to be cremated on the premises.
