RE: ASSAULT LINER NOTES
It is interesting (but not surprising) that the soundtrack for ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 is only 26 minutes long. In my own defense, it was all the time I could afford in the recording studio. I had to compose and perform a few mood pieces that I could use again and again through the movie. This was 1976 - the days of ultra-low-budget movie-making. The entire cost of Assault was $100,000. You can imagine how much we spent on the score.
Before recording ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13's music, I thought of Bernard Hermann and his ability to achieve maximum impact from minimum means. As I recall, I had about 3 days to complete the score. I remember having great difficulty with a quiet piano sequence to be played over the death of Nancy Loomis' character Julie. The main title theme was relatively easy after we established the beat. Ice Cube told me 25 years later that the beat always comes first.
ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 is a truly minimalist score. I never imagined that anyone anywhere at any time would listen to the music on its own away from the images and narrative. I'm grateful for this CD. I hope you enjoy it.

[@petersfds]

i think this is the really first techno-electro-cold-wave-ebm record , and one of the best , the ambush buzzing , dystopia , pure , minimal , martial , completly underrated in the scene .

Bester Sound ! Bestes Drehbuch !! Beste Kulisse !!!... Einer von John´s besten Filmen !!!

[@dynomar11]

That theme gives my goosebumps goosebumps

[@03cobra4]

I may mistaken, but I recall that Donald Pleasance took Loomis role in Halloween because his daughter loved this score of JC.

Thank you for doing all the work and time it took to post, not just this Assault On Precinct 13 album, but all of the music you have on your KZbin channel. Amazing collection. You even have special cover art from the albums changing as it plays and that moving video background of an LP that is actually playing is Boss. You can hear the pop when the needle comes down to start playing the LP. The picture of the guy sighting thru the scope of his weapon while riding around in the backseat is an awesome choice that brings the whole movie back. I gotta go fire up my Telefunken tube stereo which includes a record player and a reel to reel to listen to some of your other music. It was how our family listened years ago. You are a very dedicated and talented person to have done what you did to bring it for us. If not you, who? Thanks again!

[@Chekmate99]

you’re welcome - one of the reasons I thought of putting background pictures/video to the vinyl music was to listen/watch it on the big screen while cooking dinner, working out, etc. glad you like it - enjoy!

[@tony6896]

Yeah, the best Carpenter music

[@MULHATTON1851]

First saw this great vintage classic on HBO in '77 when I was in high school, it rocked then and still does today. The music is an awesome New-Wave Techno-Rock. I also saw "The Warriors" in '79 at a theater when still in high school, it was also an awesome classic movie with very cool New-Wave Techno-Rock Music.

[@neilchurchard8598]

This is fantastic. Thank you.

Various legendary musicians have shown up in my dreams, but Carpenter is the only director to ever make an appearance. Anyone else though prefer the soundtrack to the movie in this case?

[@Komet163B]

I think this is the 2003 release of the original mono soundtrack. Correct?

[@simonjager9259]

Can you please put the tracklist in description with timestamps hyperlinked

[@simonjager9259]

Do Carpenter know the Tricky Cover of this Main Therme?!😇

[@RobertLocksley385]

I bet he does, otherwise it would never have made it out of the Eighties acid clubs. Carpenter would have enjoyed someone else spreading his word as it all rebounds to him, and he's not a greedy man.

[@stant.m4233]

is it possible to still buy this on vinyl?

John Carpenter says himself that he is considered one of the best filmmakers of all time in Germany and other European countries but in America he's underappreciated
