amongst musicians, filmmaker john carpenter receives admiration, respect and kudos like few others. aside from the string of great films he has directed (halloween, escape from new york, dark star to name but a few) he is one of the few directors to compose and record the music for the films he makes.
back in late summer 2009 we sent out an email to our producer pals asking if they wanted to submit cover versions for an upcoming sci-fi cover versions cd project the response was very pleasing. of all the tracks through the door, john carpenter covers were by far the most prevalent. the best of them made it to this vinyl release.
