Ah cool, love Romero's movies and he always came across as humble and insightful in interviews. Which of his zombie movies do you like? Martin is another good film of his; a different take on vampirism. I like the score of Dawn on it's own. I agree, it does kind of clank a bit in the context of the film, but I got used to it. And it's supposed to be kind of funny. Perhaps J&B was a paid sponsor for The Thing lol The soundtrack to that film is one that I like to put on quite often.
Carpenter Brut? I remember the "Turbo Killer" video on youtube when it was new. I don't know much else about him or his music, but I'm always open to recommendations.
