The Thing Expands

Who here loves John Carpenter’s movies as well as the True Mother darlings, Jaded Lover? If you answered “Yes!” then you’re going to love this duo of Carpenter covers from these producers.
“The Thing Expands” is based on Carpenter’s “The Thing” and adds an ominous kick drum while swapping out Ennio Morricone’s string arrangements for analogue synth squelch that’s as cosmic as it is foreboding. “Assault On Precinct 13 (Jaded Lover’s Ballad Of Little Kathy Version)” gives a similar treatment to the original theme from “Assault On Precinct 13” and links the past with the present in a fine musical pairing. -Z.W.
