Big Trouble in Little China …. Another Groovy Song from the Cinema.

Another score from John Capenter. With a smashing title song that actually plays over the end credits.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

The music -

Above- a two-disc CD release with bonus tracks including the original version of the title song.

Awesome MTV video that showcased the musicians with clips from the film. The video is included in the Shout Factory Blu-ray releases and here for your pleasure-The Coupe De Villes — Big Trouble in Little China (Upscaled HD) (1986) — YouTube

The score was created by both John Carpenter and Alan Howarth. Not surprising that John was a part of the composing since he usually did the music for most of his films. Alan is a sound designer and composer in Hollywood-his work includes the Star Trek franchise. He and John have collaborated many times on John’s films.

Above- This soundtrack is filled with electricity I just hope not like this guy.

The score makes use of synthesizers, strings and the instruments of rock n roll. The idea was not to use traditional Chinese…
