Best Of John Carpenter Soundtrack Music Review

Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

3 stars Good Substitute
These are not the original soundtrack recordings, but the chap who programmed and performed them does a remarkable imitation. If you've always loved the themes from Halloween, Escape from New York, The Thing and Prince of Darkness, and don't want to wade through a lot of other fare to get to them, this may be a nice alternative. Since Carpenter's music is almost entirely synthesized, these versions come remarkably close.

Recorded between 1986 & 1997. Includes liner notes by Kevin Flaherty. Digitally remastered by Elliott Federman (SAJE Sound, New York, New York). Atlanta's Drivin' n' Cryin' is one of the more perfect bands for Universal's spotty "ultimate" series, since all but one of their albums were recorded for either Island or Geffen, two of the mammoth label's sublabels. So instead of licensing tracks from other labels (which the "ultimate" series in the past has been reluctant to do to an adequate extent), all of Drivin' n' Cryin's best work can be efficiently represented here. Unfortunately, the strict chronological order that is followed here isn't necessarily the best way to present a group with as many diverse sides as Drivin' n' Cryin'. A mix of laconic country, folk, and bluegrass with hard-driving, occasionally metallic rock was the band's unlikely calling card. It was also probably the reason they never attracted a widespread audience despite ...
