John Carpenterhas been responsible for much of the horror genres moststriking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies hes both directed and scored. Thethemes can instantly flood his fans musical memory with imagery of a menacingshape stalking a babysitter, a relentless wall of ghost-filled fog, lightning-fistedkungfu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell.

The music on Lost Themes is there for Carpenters acolytes to visualize their ownnightmares.

As is Carpenters style, repetition is the key to the thundering power of thesetracks, their energy swirling with shredding chords, soaring organs, unnervingpianos and captivating percussion. Horror fans will be reminded of Carpenterspast works, as well as ancestors likeMike OldfieldsTubular BellsandGoblinsSuspiria. Theyre little moments of score from movies made in our imaginations, Carpenter says. Now I hope it inspires people to create films that could bescored with this music.
