‘Snake’ by Steve (LV426) Wilkins

Original Music Composed and Performed by Steve (LV426) Wilkins

“When I made EFNY, I used predominantly the original John Carpenter Movie Soundtrack, with some extra bits and pieces by yours truly and others. I’ve had a number of folks ask what the original End Credits music is, as it’s not on their Soundtrack CD but sounds like it should be. Some have also asked if I’d make it available, figuring that it’s a lost or rare John Carpenter piece.

Needless to say it’s not. This gem is actually by a very good friend of mine. Steve’s a huge fan of both John Carpenter’s Movies and Music. When I started production on the series, I had in the back of my mind the Demo that Steve had sent me of the track, which he’d written as a tribute to the works of JC.

Knowing just how close this is to the Music from the OST, I asked Steve if I could use it on the BSAP Audio series. To my delight, he said Yes. Flash forward a couple of years, and I realised I hadn’t said thank you properly for the tune. So I decided to put that to rights, and Produced this Remix as my way of saying Thanks.

Cheers Steve! Keep On Rocking My Friend!”

In the year 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. The once-great city of New York becomes the one maximum-security prison for the entire country. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem river, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan Island.

All bridges and waterways are mined.

The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped around the island. The prison’s name – New York Maximum Security Penitentiary – Manhattan Island….

There are no guards inside the prison: only prisoners and the worlds they have made.
