John Carpenter- Christine 12''

Glad to hear you're all enjoying the last few posts so much! Moving right along, I have two posts slated for today, so bear with me. The first is something a little more well known, but no less fantastic. Actually, while this 12'' isn't exactly rare, I haven't seen either of these mixes floating around in circulation before, so I'm pleased to offer them here.

There's so much to be said about John Carpenter that I don't quite know where to begin. Responsible for some of the best films in the horror genre, his scores also have earned huge notoriety over the years, influencing both ambient and electro music. While the score to Christine (based on Stephen King's novel of the same name) is a more haunting, delicate affair, it's the disco tracks and pulsing beats that really stand out to me. I included a mix of this track on the second Sequins and Spandex comp., a three minute mix that's over before it truly begins, and has the unfortunate sound of a car engine revving throughout. Until I got this 12'', I never knew a car-less mix existed, let alone one that's nearly double the length! The second mix is the one in question, while the first is an extended mix of the Sequins track... Without any further ado, here's the info:
