The themes\r\ncan instantly flood his fans' musical memory with imagery of a menacing shape\r\nstalking a babysitter, a relentless wall of ghost-filled fog, lightning-fisted kung\r\nfu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell. The all-new music on Lost\r\nThemes asks Carpenter's acolytes to visualize their own nightmares.\r\n\"Lost Themes was all about having fun,\" Carpenter says. \"It can be both great and\r\nbad to score over images, which is what I'm used to. Here there were no pressures.\r\nNo actors asking me what they're supposed to do. No crew waiting. No cutting\r\nroom to go to. No release pending. It's just fun. And I couldn't have a better\r\nset-up at my house, where I depended on (collaborators) Cody (Carpenter, of the\r\nband Ludrium) and Daniel (Davies, who wrote the songs for I, Frankenstein) to\r\nbring me ideas as we began improvising. The plan was to make my music more\r\ncomplete and fuller, because we had unlimited tracks. I wasn't dealing with just\r\nanalogue anymore. It's a brand new world. And there was nothing in any of our\r\nheads when we started other than to make it moody.\"\r\nAs is Carpenter's style, repetition is the key to the thundering power of these\r\ntracks, their energy swirling with shredding chords, soaring organs, unnerving\r\npianos and captivating percussion. Horror fans will be reminded of Carpenter's\r\npast works, as well as ancestors like Mike Oldfeld's Tubular Bells and Goblin's\r\nSuspiria.\r\n\"They're little moments of score from movies made in our imaginations,\" Carpenter says. \"Now I hope it inspires people to create films that could be scored with\r\nthis music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVortex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Obsidian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fallen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Domain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mystery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Abyss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wraith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Purgatory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Pale Blue Dot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45974681747553,"sku":"843563132968","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1588\/0411\/files\/3935620-2670008.jpg?v=1783377301","url":"https:\/\/thedarkslide.com\/products\/john-carpenter-lost-themes-iex-neon-yellow-vinyl-indie-exclusive-vinyl","provider":"The Dark Slide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
