MONDO’S DEATH WALTZ RECORDING COMPANY IS READY TO KICK ASS
WITH THE RELEASE OF THE “THEY LIVE” SOUNDTRACK ON VINYL
Featuring An Eye-Opening Collectible Package Design From Artist Alan Hynes
Grab your sunglasses, your bubblegum, and your shotgun as Death Waltz
Recording Company is bringing back John Carpenter and Alan Howarth's
brilliant score to They Live. The soundtrack will go on sale January 30, 2019 at MondoTees.com.
A classic story of one man fighting for the freedom of the world
with a great science fiction twist, the movie is full of amazing
dialogue and also contains the greatest fistfight in the history of
cinema. Like most of Carpenter's films, They Live has an urban western feel to it, which is emphasised by the infectious score.
Celebrated designer and artist Alan Hynes has crafted a spectacular
collectible package for the soundtrack befitting the film’s theme of
subliminal communication, utilizing the iconic sunglasses to reveal
hidden messages as you pull the disc sleeve from the slip case.
“They Live is as relevant
now as it was when it was first released in 1988, maybe even more so. We
are thrilled to be re-issuing the soundtrack of this iconic and
important film,” said Mondo & Death Waltz Recording Company’s Head
of Music, Spencer Hickman.
Carpenter and Howarth's main theme conjures up images of a lone
cowboy entering town, with the main melody augmented with the sounds of
harmonica and saxophone. There's a carefree attitude which reflects
Rowdy Roddy Piper's character, but the score takes on a more sinister
tone when he realises he doesn't know anything about what's really going
on. Carpenter's signature synth tones create an uncomfortable
atmosphere, but the main bassline is always fighting against them, never
giving up. Electric guitar is used fleetingly, but brilliantly, and the
whole score embodies the kind of rebelling against authority Carpenter
is famous for. They Live will rock your world without the need for a Brazilian plastic surgeon to put you back together again.
