John Carpenter: Assault on Precinct 13 / The Fog (Pic Disc) Vinyl 12″

John Carpenter’s best films are always distinguished by his use of music. The cult director composes and performs much of the music himself, crafting ominous themes that add tension and depth to the onscreen action. Carpenter initially turned to composing on synthesizers himself due to budgetary constraints, but it would be come a major part of his aesthetic over the years. He’s now recognized as a pioneering figure in film score work and electronic music, as well. This picture disc features the instantly recognizable themes from his 1976 police exploitation filmAssault on Precinct 13 and 1980 horror flickThe Fog. Released by Sacred Bones Records on limited edition picture disc.
