John Carpenter’s Escape From New York

Album by John Carpenter & Alan Howarth

Escape from New York is the soundtrack album by American filmmaker and composer John Carpenter, released in 1981. Built around sparse, analogue synthesiser textures, pulsing electronic rhythms and minimalist motifs, the score exemplifies Carpenter's signature synth-driven approach to film scoring and has been cited as an influence on later electronic and synthwave music.
