JOHN CARPENTER – Lost Themes II (Expanded 10th Anniversary Art Edition) LP/7″

Opis

To mark the 10th anniversary of Lost Themes II, Sacred Bones is proud to present a new expanded art edition of John Carpenter’s acclaimed second album of non-soundtrack compositions.

Featuring newly commissioned artwork by Randy Ortiz, this anniversary edition pairs the original album on limited-edition “Violet Sunrise” vinyl with a bonus 7-inch single featuring “Real Xeno” — now available on vinyl for the first time outside its original limited Sacred Bones Society release. The B-side features an exclusive etched design created especially for this edition.

The Lost Themes series has become one of the defining chapters of Carpenter’s career. Freed from the constraints of the screen, these compositions have taken on a life of their own, expanding Carpenter’s legacy beyond film scores. Released in 2016, Lost Themes II broadened the sonic world of its predecessor, combining Carpenter’s unmistakable sense of atmosphere and tension with his signature minimal synth sound, richer arrangements, and both electric and acoustic guitars.

A decade later, Lost Themes II remains a landmark in a series that has grown far beyond the idea of imaginary soundtracks and now stands as an essential body of work within Carpenter’s catalogue — a testament to his musical vision and his remarkable ability to create worlds that extend far beyond film.
