Christine soundtrack
Like many of your other reviews on Christine sound track,I was dissapointed to find that the fifties music was,nt there.I do have a cassette of Christine (thought i had lost and have now found)Original motion picture sound track(not score).I have now put this to cd using EZ tape converter.

Christine will hunt you down....so.....run!!
Christine is the best soundtrack John Carpenter has ever created (second comes Halloween III). It is the sounds of the obsessive. Forget about all the oldies songs in the movie, here you will only find the background music which can be heard throughout the movie.

All songs are excellent made and very chilling to listen to late at night. It's haunting and obsessive sound will create an atmosphere never heard before in a Carpenter soundtrack, not even The Thing (in my opinion) has those scary moments like Christine has.

I am a long time fan of John Carpenter's soundtracks and own them all, and I must say this is definetely his best work so far and I have heard all his works many times over & over. What JC has to offer here is a really scary/haunting soundtrack, so you better get ready and run because Christine is on the road and is willing to kill anyone who doesn't treat her well.

My advice would be like this. Buy it if you liked the movie, and even if you havn't seen the movie you should buy it anyway. This could easily be listened to without seeing the movie first!

Highly Recommended!!! Buy it!!

One man and a synthesizer
This is not a disc of the classic rock of the film, but of Carpenter's typically minimal score. It's not one of his best, but it's good for the sad Carpenter addict (like your humble reviewer).

He makes good use of a few cues, more like his earlier scores but he adds some simple textures elsewhere. Not as memorable as Halloween or Escape from New York and not as good as The Thing disc (with a lot of Morricone's leftover music) but decent enough.

With the recent Special Edition DVD they should put together a combo of the score and the rock tracks, though I wouldn't bet on it soon.

Some good tracks include the simple, driving cue heard when Christine runs down the despicable Moochie Wells, and also when Christine chases the rest of the 20-something high school delinquents in the film. Not the best Carpenter flick, far from his worst, that's about where the score is. Definitely Carpenter, but could have used fatter, fuzzier synths.

AWESOME!
For anyone who LOVES this movie, listening to the soundtrack will totally take you back....and make you love your car more than anything!! Poor Christine only loved Arnie the only way she knew how...she killed for him, too! Hey, jealous girls, you know what I'm talking about. The first time EVER I've been able to relate to a CAR. LOVED IT!

Another Carpenter classic
John Carpenter's Christine is one of the best soundtracks available. The music is errie and atmospheric,still provides some good jolts and jumps. All of the oldies songs are not here but so what! Carpenter's score is essintle for any collection, the only problem with the cd is it's too short, but hey at least it's available. Buy this now , perfect for driving around at night.
