Lost Themes IV: Noir [Red Vinyl] (LP)
John Carpenter , Cody Carpenter , Daniel Davies
Amoeba Review
Almost ten years ago, John Carpenter, along with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies, recorded his first album of non-film music. The series continues with the excellent Lost Themes IV: Noir, a moving, brooding, synthed-out masterpiece. John Carpenter has said that his non-film tracks are composed as "soundtracks for the movies in your mind" and this time around, those movies fit into the shadowy, uber-stylized world of film noir. You'll hear "noir" in these tracks: there's the hypercool of neon cityscapes, the iciness of betrayal and despair, and the high emotions of anger and passion. Lost Themes IV: Noir is ridiculously good.
