1.0 out of 5 stars I've been had....very disappointing, 16 Feb 2007
By M. Daniels (Waterford Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All covers unfortunately and not very good ones at that. Any John Carpenter fans will know the music scores as having that deep rich sound from the synthesisers they would have used in the late seventies. The opening track from Escape from new york is really limp compared to the original. I guess most of the tracks were made by a computer whizz with a casiotone because that's just what they sound like, no effort made at all. The sleeve notes give a quick history of John's work with no mention at all of Alan Howarth, the synth genius who worked with John on a lot of his earlier films, helping to create the unique electronic but chilling scores. This CD cover is very misleading.It really bugs me when these fraudsters don't put "tribute" or something on the cover. Don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about when she refers to "phat synth sounds" because there aren't any!
For anyone trying to get their hands on the genuine article, look for Alan Howarth's name on the CD or read the inside booklet more carefully, anything to assure it's the original music.....but you can't do that online can you?

5.0 out of 5 stars A deeply atmospheric set of tracks, 23 Oct 2002
By Lucy Watson (London, England) - See all my reviews
John Carpenter is well known for his atmospheric movies and indeed music, the themes taken from the above are fantastic. This CD takes all of John Carpenters classics, like Assualt On Precinct 13, Escape from NewYork,which is brilliant because these soundtracks are only available on vinyl if at all.
The mix's are Ok however it would have been better if they had just stuck to the originals however they are good in their own right. If you love the way John Carpenter used synthesizers to set a mood for his fims then this is a CD you have to own, play it when you want to listen to some phat synthesizer sounds on a wet day. Excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some classic theme tunes, 20 Aug 2008
By Matty (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I really enjoyed this CD. There are four different tunes from the Halloween films which still send shivers down my spine when I hear them. I also really like the theme tune to The Fog, although the opening does sound a little dated, kind of like a Haunted House tune you'd hear at a fairground.
If you want to be critical then you can point at the fact a lot of it sounds like its Ross Geller on his electronic keyboard, but it does still sound exactly as I remember it from the movies, and that is what I want from a soundtrack CD.
A decent collection.
