Soundtrack From Twin Peaks

Got this for a friend as a birthday gift, love the twin peaks soundtrack so much and the vinyl was really really pretty and vibe appropriate. The only issue I noticed was that while it’s really cool that all the characters are listed on the back.. Audrey’s name was spelt wrong…

Full disclosure; I'm a Twin Peaks fan. I'd be extremely interested in the opinion of anyone who hasn't watched the show, but this review is coming from someone who has watched the entire series twice through. I've since come to discover that 'twice' is an extremely low number of views for serious fans. This soundtrack is absolutely amazing. Badalamenti is in top form, and there's not a single track on here which disappoints. I'll go track-by-track, because this album demands nothing less than your full attention. 1) Twin Peaks Theme - From the opening guitar, you're instantly brought to the minds-eye vistas of scenic Twin Peaks- Douglas Firs, mountains, a mill, and... just a slight undertone of darkness. 2) Laura Palmer's Theme - Now, the true depths of the album are introduced. The minimal piano in the background only underscores the feelings of apprehension, suspicion, and paranoia... with just a hint of lightness popping up around 1:04... only to be brought back into the shadows at 1:56. 3) Audrey's Dance - Evocative of an old Private I movie... or a derelict Old-South speak easy... or a small-town strip club reeking of Parliaments and cheap whiskey. This track paints a definite picture- your experiences in life will determine the color palette. 4) The Nightingale - Julee Cruise lends her voice to several tracks on this and other Twin Peaks works, and she is nothing short of amazing. Reminiscent of Tracey Thorn, Beth Orton, and many other haunting songstresses, hers is a voice that any true trip-hop fan will instantly melt over. Myself included. This track will make you want to close your eyes, sit next to a window, and feel the cold winter air on the other side. 5) Freshly Squeezed - Similar in feel to 'Audrey's Dance', this one would fit perfectly in a smoky old jazz club. Basil Heyden Manhattan, if you please. 6) The Bookhouse Boys - God, that intro sax just cuts right through you. The brushed drums, the haphazard hi-hats, it all comes together in a haze of pure mystery. 7) Into The Night - This track will have you on your knees. Cruise devastates- this is easily my favorite song of hers. The song would feel equally at home on the next Massive Attack album- the yearning, the loss, the anxiety, the redemption. 8) Night Life in Twin Peaks - Do yourself a favor and TURN ON THE LIGHTS before playing this song. If you listen to this song in the dark, you'll become convinced that a serial killer is in the room with you. And I'm not saying that there isn't one there, but this song will definitely scratch your nerves. 9) Dance of the Dream Man - Whereas Audrey's Dance made you want to indulge your inner pole-dancer, this one will have you feeling Rat-Pack-ready. Jazzy and urban, haunting and upbeat, this one will have you ironing out a nice shirt and trying to figure out how to exactly to 'put on the Ritz'. 10) Love Theme from Twin Peaks - Opens with even more throbbing anxiety than Laura Palmer's Theme, the highs get a little higher and the lows get a little lower. A deep one. 11) Falling - Oh, Julee Cruise. Julee, Julee Cruise. This soundtrack could serve as the perfect gateway drug to your wondrousness, and if people discovered you only through this album, then that wouldn't be a terrible thing. This is the perfect song to wrap up the album. 'Nuff said. This album is extremely cohesive. The instrumentals are perfectly balanced by Cruise, and both categories of song are represented perfectly. A great album for late-night listening, road trips, nostalgia, and dark wistful days.

Absolutely incredible! I was pleasantly surprised to find the vinyl pressed in a gorgeous green color — it looks stunning on the turntable and feels like a true collector’s piece. The sound quality is warm and immersive, perfectly capturing the unique atmosphere of Twin Peaks. It’s not just a record, it’s an experience — both visually and sonically. We absolutely love it. Thank you!

The greatest Jazz album of all time

Prompt delivery. Item exactly as advertised.

All the background tracks from the series, but is missing some songs from Cruise that were good.

This review is for the Warner Brothers black vinyl German pressing: if you have high-end system. If you have entry level system. If you have a budget used system. If you have a $79 suitcase player from Wal-Mart. This record will fill your room with magic.

Such a wonderful album, and includes one of the greatest television themes of all times. Beyond dreamy~

Angelo Badalamenti's Atmospheric soundtrack for this epic television series captures perfectly in how I feel about Twin Peaks. A perfect example when I listen to track number 5 'Freshly Squeezed' I can just imagine myself driving the highway into the town of Twin Peaks surrounded by the majestic Douglas Fir trees. This is One of the best soundtracks I've ever bought. Well recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

everything perfect! no flaws.

Perfect

Superbe bande originale qui donne une bonne partie de l'ambiance culte de Twin Peaks.

Dudé, pero me llegó el CD nuevo empaquetado y en buen estado. Y, ¿qué decir de este disco? lo tuve en cassette jaja hace mil años, y quería conservarlo con mi colección de CDs, es una delicia de Badalamenti...
