Film score fans unite!
We were talking about Tangerine Dream recently in the old thread, and this one of my favorite pieces of theirs:

John Carpenter has done the score for the new Firestarter adaptation and the track that has been release so far is pretty rad...

I just think it's neat that he's willing to be a composer-for-hire.

I do too. I hope he does it more often going forward.

The trailer for Firestarter doesn't look particularly inspiring, but Carpenter's involvement instantly gets me to purchase a ticket.

It's a very basic trailer that doesn't give us much insight into the majority of the characters. Hopefully the film itself is more nuanced, because it has a good cast.

Speaking of Tangerine Dream's FIRESTARTER: Press release: "Get ready to turn up the heat. We’re revisiting the glory days of 1980s sci-fi with a new edition of Tangerine Dream’s classic electronic score for FIRESTARTER (1984). This 11-track program has been newly remastered for this long-awaited reissue. The new LP and CD packages also contain previously unused film stills and new liner notes by Randall D. Larson explaining how the band did not score to picture but created “wild” cues to be used by the film’s music editors. The LP comes pressed on stunning “Fuego” colored vinyl. Both the CD and LP are available now for pre-order exclusively on our websites, and will release July 22."
