この「Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988)」には膨大なフィルモグラフィーの中から最も象徴的な楽曲の数々を、コラボレーターであるダニエル・デイヴィスとコーディ・カーペンターと共に新たにレコーディングし、素晴らしいシークエンスで収録したもので、彼の作曲の天才を讃え続けています。
By now everyone should know, John Carpenter is not only a celebrated filmmaker but also a musical maestro whose soundtracks have become synonymous with the genres of horror, suspense, and science fiction.
Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988) continues the celebration of his compositional genius via an excellently sequenced collection of some of his most iconic pieces of music from his extensive filmography, all newly recorded with his musical collaborators Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter.
The compilation includes selections from Escape From New York, Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing, They Live, Assault on Precinct 13, Prince of Darkness, The Fog, Halloween (and its sequels), and beyond. Among its highlights are the three lost cues from The Thing, previously unreleased and now re-recorded. The Thing marks one of the rare occasions that John Carpenter stepped away from scoring duties and entrusted the task to another composer, the legendary Ennio Morricone. Upon receiving Morricone’s score Carpenter felt that the film would benefit from the inclusion of additional music and took the initiative to record and insert multiple synth driven cues.
Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988) represents just a fraction of John Carpenter's impressive musical repertoire. His ability to capture the essence of his films through evocative melodies, atmospheric soundscapes, and innovative use of synths has solidified his status as one of the most influential composers in the history of cinema. With each haunting note and pulsating beat, his soundtracks continue to resonate with audiences, forever etching his name in the annals of film music history.

ジョン・カーペンター自作自演集第２弾！
トラックリストジョン・カーペンターは著名な映画監督であると同時に、そのサウンドトラックがホラー、サスペンス、SFといったジャンルの代名詞となっている音楽界の巨匠であることは、今や誰もが知るところだろう。
この「Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988)」には膨大なフィルモグラフィーの中から最も象徴的な楽曲の数々を、コラボレーターであるダニエル・デイヴィスとコーディ・カーペンターと共に新たにレコーディングし、素晴らしいシークエンスで収録したもので、彼の作曲の天才を讃え続けています。
このコンピレーションには、『ニューヨーク1997』、『ゴースト・ハンターズ』、『遊星からの物体Ｘ』、『ゼイ・リブ』、『要塞警察』、『 パラダイム』、『ザ・フォグ』、『ハロウィン』（およびその続編）、そしてそれ以降の作品からのセレクションが含まれている。なかでも、『遊星からの物体Ｘ』の失われた3つのキューは未発表で、今回再録音された。『遊星からの物体Ｘ』は、ジョン・カーペンターがスコアリングの仕事から離れ、別の作曲家、伝説的なエンニオ・モリコーネに仕事を任せた数少ない機会のひとつである。モリコーネのスコアを受け取ったカーペンターは、この映画には追加の音楽が必要だと感じ、率先して複数のシンセサイザーのキューを録音し、挿入した。
『Anthology II（Movie Themes 1976-1988）』は、ジョン・カーペンターの印象的な音楽レパートリーのほんの一部に過ぎない。映画のエッセンスを喚起するメロディー、雰囲気のあるサウンドスケープ、革新的なシンセの使い方で表現する彼の能力は、映画史上最も影響力のある作曲家の一人としての地位を確固たるものにしている。心を揺さぶる音符と脈打つビートによって、彼のサウンドトラックは観客の心に響き続け、映画音楽史にその名を永遠に刻み続ける。
