John Carpenter Official shares a second look at his forthcoming collection, 'Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988)', set for release on October 6th via Sacred Bones.
'Anthology I' continues the celebration of his compositional genius via an excellently sequenced collection of some of his most iconic pieces of music from his extensive filmography, all newly recorded with his musical collaborators Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter.
Following the previously shared album opener "Chariots of Pumpkins" from Halloween III, today he offers up the newly reworked version of '69th St. Bridge' from Escape From New York
- a dynamic track that encapsulates the futuristic and gritty nature of the film and the intensity and urgency of the protagonist's mission via the use of throbbing bass lines, driving rhythms, and electronic textures.
Carpenter comments: "This piece played during a chase across an imaginary bridge. Isaac Hayes was going after Kurt Russell, and I wanted to create music that fit the feel of the scene.
[At the time of recording Anthology I] I wanted to include more music from Escape From New York, and after re-listening to the soundtrack, this piece stood out to me as one that I wanted to try recreating and modernizing. It was fun recreating the various synth parts note by note, a very different process than how I originally recorded the piece back in the 80s."
The track comes with a visualiser by Adam Fuchs and Chris
Bilheimer which you can now watch.
