'ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK' Soundtrack (John Carpenter & Alan Howarth) RED Vinyl 2LP (1981)

Year of release: 1981

This was the first time John Carpenter teamed up with Alan Howarth, and their synths became the sound of Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken stalking a walled-off, prison-island Manhattan. The main theme's slow, stomping pulse is menace itself, and synthwave acts have been borrowing it ever since.

Condition: New/Mint
