Room 237 – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD

The opening track hits like a synthwave thunderclap—pure Carpenter-era tension that fills the room. That huge, monstrous sound really comes through on CD, and I've caught myself replaying side two three times in a row.

The liner notes are beautifully done, but it's the sound that truly sells it—that huge, Carpenter-esque synth wash feels like it's filling my whole living room. I've had it on repeat for two days and it still gives me chills.

The bass on this one hits like a synthwave nightmare, all Carpenter and Goblin vibes cranked up to eleven. I’ve had it on repeat for three days and it still gives me chills every time that main theme kicks in. A genuinely huge-sounding score that deserves a proper listen with good speakers.
