The fine line between stasis and energy is almost impossible to define but Carpenter consistently achieves this paradox with Spartan means. This remix attempts to break the compositional tension of Carpenter&#8217;s Purgatory and through a process of colliding loop cycles \u0096 a technique used on the &#8216;Pleasure Ground&#8217; album reformatting the electronics into a earth like texture outside of the urban environments traditionally connected to synthesis.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The themes to Horror Master John Carpenter&#8217;s\u00a0features like Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween, and Escape from New York have remained instantly recognizable since he penned them nearly four decades ago. In February 2015, Sacred Bones released his first solo record of non-soundtrack music, &#8216;Lost Themes,&#8217; to overwhelming critical success. Carpenter proved that not only could he perfectly score his own films \u0096 he could also score the movies in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Eight pivotal contemporary electronic artists were moved to reshape the original songs on &#8216;Lost Themes&#8217; in tribute to one the genre\u0092s great pioneers. Several of the remixes were released as part of the digital deluxe edition of the album, but &#8216;Lost Themes Remixed&#8217; marks the first time any of the tracks have been on vinyl.<\/p>\n<p>Sacred Bones alumna Zola Jesus remixed <em>Night<\/em> with producer Dean Hurley, and the result nods to her lo-fi Stridulum-era work. Silent Servant, the Los Angeles minimal techno mastermind, delivers a pulsing rework of <em>Vortex<\/em>. JG Thirlwell of Foetus&#8217; baroque reimagining of <em>Abyss<\/em> is in line with the modern classical scores for which he has become known. ohGr of industrial pioneers Skinny Puppy delivers a track on par with the best of that band\u0092s mid-&#8217;80s prime.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Greenberg, the Uniform multi-instrumentalist and producer, concurred: <em>&#8220;There&#8217;s a true minimalism at work in his music, but it\u0092s a means, not an end. It&#8217;s simple, but synthetic, so there&#8217;s very little going on, but it&#8217;s very distinctive and unsettling.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Preorder John Carpenter&#8217;s &#8216;Lost Themes Remixed&#8217; via Sacred Bones\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacredbonesrecords.com\/collections\/releases\/products\/sbr139-john-carpenter-lost-themes-remixed\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8216;Lost Themes&#8217; Remixed track list:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
