featuring lush pads, Linn drums aplenty and veering from beautiful blissed-out ambient drones to sinister stinger-driven mood pieces, this was yet another stellar entry in john carpenter’s legendary soundtrack oeuvre.

Absolutely outstanding stuff. The film is unique not only due to its lacking Michael Myers (save for a brief appearance on a TV screen) but also for its score. John Carpenter and Alan Howarth completely jettisoned their previous work and deliver nothing short of an electronic masterpiece. The lead track 'Chariots Of Pumpkins' is an epic 4/4 beat-driven synth-banger that has regularly been played by DJs over the last 10 years.
