John Carpenter "Vortex" (Official Audio)

[@Markis5150]

This guy man,such a talent. The film and music he makes are so godamn good.

[@ronaldh8446]

He's going on tour, doing meet and greets, autographing. Check out his website or his Facebook page.

[@donpylon5102]

Horror movies just wouldnt be the same without him, carpenter was so much of an influence throughout his career and he still managed to create some of the best horror movies ever with banging soundtracks (i.e. The Thing or Halloween)

[@GreatestMKfighter]

"Snake, we need you again."

[@LarryNocella]

+Gio Deleo (Captain Thundernuts) Perfect!!

[@ahmetcan6217]

Cool plot. However earth is at ground zero after the last movie.

[@jwnj9716]

"The name's Plissken"

[@mikegarrens5286]

maggie.... he's dead... come on.

[@Emppu_T.]

@@jwnj9716 call me Snake

[@jonathynblythe8096]

Public: "John! We thought you were dead!" John Carpenter: "Yeah, you and everybody else."

[@dannycalifornia4983]

I play this song everywhere I drive. Makes me feel like Im in a Carpenter film 🎥

[@VeryImportantPepe]

yeah im thinkin based

[@Draxtor]

i live downtown LA in a homeless camp. Makes me feel i live in a Carpenter film ....

[@moodyowl2819]

Cool😎

[@Go_EZ-ier_On_Us_And_Enjoy]

I would be looking over my shoulder here and there....scared..just to fit The Vibe. 😁 👍 👀

[@lothar52]

Same

[@jjsalas2434]

I want a John Carpenter's movie with this soundtrack and I want it NOW!!!

[@kritznschitz6683]

go read what movies he has made first... then watch them.

[@MS-ii1sv]

​@@kritznschitz6683I think he knows what movies he's done. He wants a new movie.

[@SouthernDrinkstruction]

The Master of Horror

[@utuber8xx]

A fusion of "Escape From New York" + "Big Trouble In Little China". Thanks Master! We love you!!!

[@shawnharnett2385]

.....and Halloween III: Season Of The Witch!!

[@DaveNoodles]

Hell yeah, The King is still kicking. I love this guy. Anyone who likes this stuff should not only listen to the Sorcerer soundtrack, but see the film too. It's not quite like a Carpenter flick (for one thing it was ridiculously expensive), but it has some of the same vibes going on, the same tense feel and the simplicity of individual scenes. And a badass synth score!

[@kalament1969]

Tangerine Dream at their best... check out the Rubicon album by them!

[@Switcher1972]

Will Friedkin ("Sorcerer" director) is another badass.

[@ganesha.k.s]

Diamond film by another master. William Freidkin. The guy who gave us The Exorcist

[@chrisklecker]

Oh man. Sorcerer is such a brilliant film. The one scene on the bridge is just absolutely stunning!

[@Rhys]

I collected John Carpenter film scores for years; it's really exciting to see an album of original compositions coming out. This sounds GREAT!

[@ollies1359]

There will probably be more if this album comes out successfully.

[@Eliskoopa]

Karkat Vantas i bought it :)

[@shredmaster2009]

Amazing, John Carpenter rules.

[@smackyjack]

Makes my entire life seem like a montage. Thanks. JC I drive the city at night a lot for work.

[@shockerrocker1]

Would love to hear this music in a sequel to Escape From LA. Escape From Earth would be epic. Kurt Russell as an older Snake would be killer.

[@KronnangDunn]

+SHOCKER I always thought that instead of Ghosts form Mars that film should have been called ESCAPE from Mars and instead of Ice Cube/Desolation Williams it should have been Kurt Russell/Snake Plissken. Perhaps in an alternate reality there is such a film...

[@shockerrocker1]

That's an awesome idea having Snake on Mars. Damn I wish that would of happened. I hear Escape is getting a remake, I would rather see Kurt Russell reprise the role. Hollywood is depressing these days everything is a knock off or a remake.

[@TheBaronVonBoom]

+KronnangDunn Perhaps there is also an alternate reality where Ghosts Of Mars wasnt even made, I hope there is that is.

[@mklschwrtz2]

+SHOCKER I've allways wanted to see what happens between Escape from N.Y and Escape from L.A

[@shockerrocker1]

That would be awesome.

[@clarkkent4734]

This is wonderful... and so is John Carpenter.

[@A2theD1]

I can hear Chariots of Pumpkins hiding inside this. Salute to an absolute legend.

[@bethanylovely2251]

Exactly!

[@LilRocker2005]

I knew I wasn't the only one who heard Chariots Of Pumpkins in there!

[@toxictrax1186]

This album is bad-ass, been playing it every day. Sooooo glad I stumbled upon it, the music makes me feel wicked.

[@fighting3209]

This guy John carpenter is really something else, always been a huge fan of his. Truly outstanding, genious legend.

[@lawrencerinehart5747]

If Carpenter had a 21st century budget and no studio interference we would be suprised of the fire and magic from the man.

[@swampthing94]

I love it, getting this very dark sci-fi vibe from it. Just imagine it. An escape pod with a few people in it lands into a desolate planet with a dark purple atmosphere and you guessed it, there is a Thing waiting for them.

[@62Tob]

This guy is pur genius, it's a pity that we don't see him anymore in film direction :'(.

[@mwarrensims]

Those piano melodies... man... John uses some unusual harmonies that I feel only he can pull off. Masterfully done.

[@TheAdmiralOne]

John Carpenter sais vraiment tout faire.On ne prend pas encore en compte l'étendue de son génie rare.Pas aidé pour produire ses films sauf pour les films de commande il réalise compose dirige tout en restant loin de la machine hollywoodienne.Ce grand homme sait aussi faire preuve d'esprit critique vis a vis de son travail;de son oeuvre.faudra t'il attendre qui parte pour enfin admettre et accepter le fait qu'il fait parti de ceux qui auront marqué une certaine ère culturelle importante et intemporelle.Merci monsieur Carpenter pour avoir fait de moi un cinéphile mordu.

[@DavidRidlen]

Sounds like Big Assault Escape on Halloween Fog Darkness II.

[@crustypioneer8104]

I can hear the resemblance

[@MegaCrocosaurus92]

+David Ridlen More like Trouble From The Assault Ward In The Mouth Of Mars.

[@scrabdusanproductions2104]

I would watch both of those.

[@xdproductions3087]

They Thing Trouble in The Fog of Christine

[@morbidmetal1355]

Big escape from the fog on halloween

[@franciscorivera3600]

You should see Him LIVE, John Carpenter is such a Complete talented Artist,... Movie Director, Writer, Music Composer.

[@bluestate69]

Reminds me of Com Truise, but I should say that Com Truise reminds me of John Carpenter soundtrack music from the 80's. Carpenter had a big impact on the film industry in so many ways. He's the most creative and inventive director of his time, in my opinion. He could do what Speilberg did with a 1/4 of the budget.

[@RobinsTaste]

Totally! Carpenters films has a very crispy, neat look, amazing plots and characters. All with limited budgets.

[@MegaCrocosaurus92]

Key word being "crisp" because damn did those movies have a balance and sleek nature.

[@TheCleanRapper93]

This is 🔥🔥🔥 I was listening to this while driving and felt like I was starring in a Carpenter movie. Legendary!

[@davidtalon2422]

Le poids des années ne pèse en rien sur le maitre. Ses compositions d'aujourd'hui sonnent comme celles d'il y à 20 ou 30 ans, et pourtant, elle n'ont jamais été aussi contemporaines. En fait c'est ca un génie, toujours en avance sur son temps....

[@boudierjean-philippe7736]

bjr tout a fait d accord avec vous et dire que dans les annees 80,quand ont ecoutaient carpenter ou howarth ont etes pris pour des tarés 30 ans apres le resultat est la musique ultra visionnaire futuriste indemodable merci JC (john carpenter) ses initiales veulent tout dire

[@Switcher1972]

boudier jean-philippe Dans les années 80, il ne fallait surtout pas dire qu'on aimait la musique électronique au cinéma. Pendant ce temps, des gens comme Ridley Scott, Michael Mann, Kathryn Bigelow ou Andreï Kontchalovski bossaient avec Tangerine Dream : les chiens aboient, la caravane passe ; de nos jours, Carpenter est intouchable et TD co-réalise le score de "GTA V" (une sorte d'aboutissement vis-à-vis de l'ambiance du cinéma de l'époque).

[@mjaa7617]

Tu as un sac a dos? Choisi personne en le gomme.

[@neanderthalboneflute6519]

Inspirational. Like the dark piano riff. Love the synth bass line.

[@jfw60]

Mr Carpenter at his best. Always reinventing his sound, theme and concept. You are horror.

[@stormtrance1618]

This track is amazing!

[@HES_DEB]

Each time I listen to this I feel like watching one of his movies five times over

[@KajRoth64]

A master! This song is up there with his work such as Halloween, Escape From New York and The Fog.

[@legnahernandez5009]

love his music! gets me pumped up & excited

[@nasiatsekouras170]

Love this song 🙌🙌🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@anchorman632]

Saw him play live in Liverpool last night. Awesome show

[@paulmcdonough1093]

me to did you get to meet him after the show i never

[@johnstoner666]

I'm in love with this song

[@everstar2440]

Excellent!!

[@LarryNocella]

Holy crap this is great! It's 1986 again and movies aren't just one comic book mess after another. It's Carpenter time! THEY LIVE. etc. This sounds like perfect opening titles and credits music. Yeeeehhaaaaa!

[@audio7033]

John Carpenter + 80's Synths = John Carpenter

[@ryanrohn4561]

Listening to this while watching the sunset in S. Mountain area of Phoenix, AZ. That music accompanying notions to trust my instincts and allow the dark sensations to breathe, as they reveal an important part of my complete perspective. Thanks John... Good work.

[@RoninJoegenji0085]

Incredible!!

[@chrisklecker]

John Carpenter. Master of the thriller

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

two words.... holy shit. this is amazing .hearing this closing my eyes . im picturing a brand new . kickass john carpenter film .

[@mjzou]

Wow...j'aime cette musique...!

[@gideonwaxfarb]

This reminds me of a cross between Halloween III/Christine and a Jan Hammer-esque Miami Vice tune with those little guitar riffs.

[@RoninJoegenji0085]

Perfect!

[@UncleJoeNeonCherry]

Imagine... Two Miami cops chasing a serial killer from Hell who is trying to perform a ritual and open a Vortex for demons to pour out into the world. Is that a John Carpenter movie or what? =)

[@UncleJoeNeonCherry]

***** holy smoke! I HAVE to watch it! It's Rutger Hauer and low-budget awesomness. Just the stuff I like. Thank you so much!

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

***** SPLIT SECOND is so damn amazing! It's such a fun movie.

[@obstacle555]

[@sasetto1]

J. Carpenter si conferma essere un grande, questo brano rimanda un'po allo score di Grosso guaio a China town ed è veramente molto bello,grande John.

[@boudas7295]

Saw him live in Athens.Great show.

[@Elfo_Scuro]

Non stai facendo più film da un pò Maestro però il tuo tocco alle produzioni non lo perdi mai.....

[@HONOR_APATHY]

Legends never die😊

[@lastgaijinone]

I just got done listening to the full album. It's a great experience just listening to these tracks. I'm hoping Mr. Carpenter will consider making more albums to come...maybe even one with a more Western flavored influence soundtrack, like some of the tracks on ESCAPE FROM L.A. and VAMPIRES...Good work guys!

[@HansBackovic]

John Carpenter is always 100 % more super cool than many others...

[@Taranchule]

Goddamn I love this!

[@lawrencerinehart5747]

Imagine Dean Cundey back as his cinematographer, a collaborative of KNB FX with Rob Bottin and Screaming Mad George, minimal cgi and Tarantino & Rodriguez as producers. Somebody make it happen.

[@icqpimp]

You had me until you said Tarantino & Rodriguez as producers.
