About this product

Legendary composer/director John Carpenter has returned with his first non- soundtrack music since 2016's Lost Themes II. Collaborating again with son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, his bandmates and co-composers for the David Gordon Green-directed Halloween films, Carpenter is sharing the propul- sive new single InchSkeletonInch and it's B-side, the haunting InchUnclean Spirit.Inch The sessions for these songs saw the trio shifting their focus from scoring for the screen and engaging a totally different creative muscle. Instead of being guided by what was happening in the world of Halloween, they were free to work toward other ends. InchIt was refreshing to be able to write music that didn't have to fit to any sort of locked image,Inch John said. InchWe also had a specific focus and direction we wanted to follow when working on Halloween, both in terms of mindset and instruments, and being able to return to working without that narrow focus was refreshing. Although working on Halloween didn't specifically influence any of these new compositions, there is always a honing of craft that must take place when work- ing on a film like Halloween, and our improved skills definitely helped us in writing these songs.Inch Working together to score a major Hollywood production only deepened the collaborative chemistry between the three composers. That comfort level paid dividends, as the songs developed largely in the room where they were recorded. InchLike the majority of the songs that we write, both 'Skeleton' and 'Unclean Spirit' mainly started with an improvised riff, which was then expanded and built upon to create the full song,Inch John explained. InchLike the previous Lost Themes album, we each handled duties of writing and recording, with all three of us contributing ideas and parts.Inch Album Tracks 1. Skeleton 2. Unclean Spirit

    Disappointed

    This is an EP, therefore it’s only two songs. The problem I had with it didn’t sound any different from the other non movie soundtracks he put out. On side B, by the time the needle hit the vinyl and I sat down the song was over. To me it was over so fast I would have rather had them wait and add more songs and record an entire album. Also, the price for the two songs was a little high.

    The other review is an idiot

    Everything about this vinyl is amazing. The cover art and cover sleeve is top notch design. The tracks sound different than his other lost themes albums. Overall I am throughly impressed once again!

Chip Wickham - The Eternal Now   - VINYL LP

Saxophonist, flautist and producer Chip Wickham casts a formidable shadow across the worldwide jazz landscape. Originally from Brighton, but now dividing his time between the UK, Spain and the Middle-East, he has made a name for himself with a series of beautifully crafted solo albums that draw equally on the hard swinging spiritual jazz of Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef and Sahih Shihab, alongside the music of British jazz legends such as Tubby Hayes and Harold McNair and the more contemporary sounds of Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Robert Glasper. His close working relationship with Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Records has spanned close to two decades (since he played on Halsall's 2008 debut 'Sending My Love') and has since released three standout releases on the tag (the 'Cloud 10' LP, and the 'Astral Travelling' and 'Love & Life' EP's). Once again returning to the heralded tag, he now prepares to his elegant fifth studio album 'The Eternal Now'. Further exploring his penchant for hard-hitting soulful, spiritual jazz and modal hard-bop, it denotes an exciting new chapter in his much- revered discography, once which sees his unbridled artist flourish into new and fruitful pastures.
