John Carpenter not only directed the cult classic 1981 film Escape From New York, he composed the soundtrack too. It's a modular synth masterpiece, melding epic Krautrock-esque cinematic scoring with electro-disco. A-number-one. Death Waltz Recording Company has released a remastered vinyl of the original soundtrack, including six tracks that weren't in the film. Jay Shaw (aka Iron Jaiden) did the cover art and the large poster included with the record. And if you're not yet hip to the new media of vinyl, an expanded edition of the soundtrack has been available on CD for several years from Silva Screen Records.

Vinyl: Escape from New York LP (Forced Exposure)
