Wotgodforgot Halloween Party Special @Islington Mill 1/11/10 "Zombie Zombie play John Carpenter"

Provocative to the very end, Zombie Zombies return heralds a new, but altogether understandable, tangent for the French duo to stalk. 'Zombie Zombie plays John Carpenter' is the next logical step on their journey into the alt-kraut, minimal ambience induced reverie of their own psychoses. Reinterpreting the work of genre master and composer Carpenter, this release combines live, militaristic rhythm, minimal synth lines and intimated fear to push the legendary film makers vision into something horrific yet beautiful, dark yet beguiling. Produced by French visionary Joakim, the album's an intense snapshot of three artists pushing each other further into the depths of disco's dark side, Kraut's unremitting melody.

Carpenter himself said /Movies are pieces of film stuck together in a certain rhythm, an absolute beat, like a musical composition. The rhythm you create affects the audience/. Zombie Zombie certainly seem to have taken heed, each track begs for response, ask questions of the listener as much as of themselves. Context decrees connotation, but this release sets out to experiment with those connotations, more an attempt to discover, and challenge, exactly what music can mean.

The five track EP can be bought as an MP3 download, CD or vynil and featured tracks represent Carpenter's most iconic work:-

(1) The Bank Robbery from Escape from New York (2) Escape from LA (main theme) (3) Assault on Precinct 13 (main theme) (4) Halloween (5) The Thing
