Wow! What an outstanding piece of music! The video is cool too!
The sequencer and slow brass pads starting at 0:23 sounds a lot like the “Chariots” performance (P1:11) on the Roland JP-8000 / JP-8080.
Or maybe, just maybe, the “Chariots” preset emulates a well-known CS-80 patch used by Vangelis… ?
tron vs zombies?
better than superman vs batman
avengers civil war
batman vs ozzy ozborne (think about it)
and for last bambi vs godzilla
stiring up strange thoughts
He’s on tour at the moment, playing his classic themes and also a bunch of songs from these new albums. I have my tickets already.
Thank you, John Carpenter !
Epic.
Main theme ala Terminator
Strings later ala Bladerunner end theme.
Whole lotta colossal
Music was fine, video was…. Girl runs, girl gets taken down, guy rescues her… It’s 80s sci fi all over again.
So…John Carpenter?
So freaking good.
Awesome!
I really like the music. The video, not so much. Really neat visuals but just didn’t tie itself together for me.
I assume the video was intentionally cheesy to suit the title of the song. I liked the track suit and the giant glowing phone case. “Here is your new iPhone 7+, honey.”
