Music : Twin Peaks
Rating: 
- Atmospheric and spooky
One of the most outstanding soundtracks ever to enhance a TV series. Weep along to Laura Palmer's Theme, Admire Audrey's dance, vibe on Night Life In Twin Peaks and let Julee Cruise give you the sensation of a flotation tank with her dreamy vocals on Into The Night, The Nightingale and Falling. Ethereal sounds that appropriately encapsulate the mood of the series filled with a thousand secrets.
Rating: - Edgy, and Original Soundtrack
This is a nicely crafted CD which is let down badly by the order of compilation, you have to keep skipping between tracks as some are nauseating and go on to long, however that is the only low point on this CD.
With its array of musical instruments ranging from woodwind to flute, guiro to xylophone, the most moving and evocative track here is the love theme from ‘twin Peaks’ on track nine as there is more instrumental diversity than the standard ‘twin peaks theme’ on track 1, its overall effect is far more inspiring and romantic. The Julee Cruise numbers (Into the night and Nightingale) are a nice addition with her dreamy and insidious vocals, which overall perfectly complement the eerie, and haunting instrumentals.
Though this CD does borrow heavily from the film ‘Blue Velvet’ you would barely notice as all ‘Lynchian’ music has a moody, bluesy, feel to it, this however benefits from Mark Frosts munificent gift of composing music, his stamp is well and truly all over it, in addition Julee Cruises ‘Falling’ is one of the most tender love songs ever written and it was a good idea for that to be the last track as it gives the soundtrack a nice ending which is antonymous of the series.
Basically a great CD with a mix that kicks with unforgettable scores

- Please buy this CD.
Surely, everyone must have heard of the TV series Twin Peaks, and most will be aware of the huge impact it had on its premiere, ten years ago. Twin Peaks is still unbeaten as the most absorbing, complicated, thought provoking and convoluted soap ever made, and has to be one of the most significant TV series of all time. Part of the essential, unique Twin Peaks atmosphere is down to the music. Angelo Badalamenti's luscious score, full of gently absorbing and repeating motifs, is an essential. Completely beautiful, occasionally unsettling and always rewarding, the soundtrack immediately transports the listener to the town of Twin Peaks. Jazz-eccentricity, swaying grooves, eerie flutes whistling through forests: all are perfectly captured here. And, just when you think it can't get any better, Julee Cruise's immaculate vocals appear on a couple of tracks. The whispering, swirling sound of Julee's voice is the real sound of Twin Peaks. Occasionally eccentric, often heartbreakingly peaceful and lonely.
Please buy this CD.
Rating: - Brilliant and inspiring
I was thinking of giving this soundtrack 4/5 stars - after all, compared with soundtrack heavyweights like The Godfather, Twin Peaks with its three-or-four songs (and many variations thereof) seems a bit limited. But what songs they are - each one conjures up the elusive, ambiguous feel of the TV series instantly - the main theme has an immediate Lynch vibe, The Dance of the Dream Man is music to go mad to (clicking your fingers all the way) and is perhaps the best surrealist music (or music for surrealism) since Eraserhead, while the Laura Palmer theme makes me think I'm going to stumble across a dead cheerleader's body any moment now, even in the middle of a sunny day.
No, you can't deny Badalamenti's musical genius - this is unarguably the greatest TV soundtrack ever made.
Rating: - The essence of Twin Peaks captured on a small shiny disk
If you have ever watched, rewatched and rewatched and loved and lived and breathed the series, this CD will keep you right there in Twin Peaks. Even if you had never seen the series this music would still carry you to another world. It is just so weird and dark and lonely and beautiful and twisted and sad and deliriously emotional. Badalamenti is a genius.
