Music by John Carpenter

[Rodney Schroeter]

One of the catchiest soundtracks I've ever heard was John Carpenter's
work in "They Live." I vaguely remember other music work Carpenter's done
for his movies. Does anyone know of other such soundtracks?
Thanks,

I have the soundtrack to Halloween, which is interesting. I can't say I've
listened to it often. I bought it the second I spotted it, because I
thought it was one of those soundtracks that couldn't possibly exist, like
Wise Blood or The Long Goodbye, because it's the same melody repeated
endlessly. Actually, the variations are clever; it's a little like Phillip
Glass, but less rigorous.

Does anyone know the name of the gentleman who did the score to The
Exorcist? I know it was based on a concept album that he had done
earlier.

Also, is there a good, cheap source of Laserdiscs that anyone knows
of? I bought my first LD player over the weekend.

I know it's probably been answered already, but I haven't
typed a response today. The answer is Mike Oldfield. I recommend
buying the original album, not the sequel he put out last year.

I thought that the music from "Escape from New York" was great!
