Music composed by Angelo Badalamenti. Lyrics written by David Lynch.
David Lynch's TWIN PEAKS was, among other things, the first series to bring surrealism to prime time television. Angelo Badalamenti's score, on the other hand, was the first to introduce downtown post-modernism. Badalamenti's harmonic palette was straight out of '50s rock. But the resultant music was slow and doomy, a collage of shimmering synths, twangy Duane Eddy guitars, and finger snaps that seemed uncannily sinister. Highlights include the popular "Twin Peaks Theme," which manages the remarkable feat of being at once lush and minimalist, and "Into The Night," an unsettling combination of innocence and lasciviousness as sung by Lynch protege Julee Cruise.

Arranger: Angelo Badalamenti.Q (5/95, p.122) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...David Lynch's eerily gripping television series, would have had considerably less impact without composer Angelo Badalamenti's dark, atmospherically-charged soundtrack..." Muzik (12/00, p.59) - Included in Muzik's "Top 10 Electronic Soundtracks" - "...Hypnotic, massively influential and coincidentally spawned Moby's GO..."
Twin Peaks Peaks One of the more amazing and enticing scores, especially from a TV series. Beautifully understated. Subtle yet climactic. Submitted by Barnaby (Michigan) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 2 found this helpful.
Love this music.... One of my favorite things about this quirky shaw was the great music. I'm so happy to have found it at CD Universe! Submitted by GloriaMrnngGlry (Savannah, MO, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
good atmosphere I know the show from a long time and for the first time I have listened to the soundtrack's CD... It is very fine, and moody. I would recommend it to someone that either likes Twin Peaks' eerie atmosphere or to a person into contemporary jazz. Submitted by DF KINGS (somewhere in space) Was This Review Helpful?
