John Carpenter did some great atmospheric stuff on everything from Assault on Precinct 13 up until The Thing.

The Thing is a cool score, but in this case John Carpenter did not do his own music. That's Ennio Morricone.

anything by morricone. john carpenter, he was cool too. plus: the godfather, and the shining.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

That score conjures a great sense of adventure.

heh

"Shock Treatment", the 'followup' to Rocky Horror had some great music on it. Richard O'Brien has quite an ear for good hook, no matter what you think of his films. On the extras for the 20th Anniversary edition of RHPS, O'Brien walks through the mansion that the original was set in, singing acoustic versions of the soundtrack. It is interesting how great "Eddie", "Science Fiction Double Feature" and "Toucha Toucha Touch Me" etc are stripped of their orchestration. He wrote them as simple 50's style rockabilly.

I tried to get a band I was in to play "Breakin' Out" off of the "Shock Treatment" soundtrack. They correctly told me to shut the fuck up.

/saw Rocky Horror over 200 times at a theater next to Rice University in Houston back when I was in junior high, twice a week for a little over two years. Unbelieveably, I've subsequently found someone to marry such an idiot. Twice.

I've heard about how great this soundtrack is from about five sources, including Dave Grohl, who I trust near implicitly.

I can never find this. Any suggestions where I can get it, either digitally or in hard copy?
