Product Description
From Amazon.com
Director David Lynch's affection for kitschy lounge music and emotionally overwrought mid-century pop has long since proven to be more than trend or irony; indeed, it's often the uneasy spiritual axis of his films. The soundtrack of Mulholland Dr. turns on the usual Lynchian motifs (the brooding atmosphere of Angelo Badalamenti's ominous synth-and-orchestra cues tossed with a dash of Lynch's own off-center compositions), yet manages to evoke a sense of foreboding that's distinctly its own. Badalamenti leads off with a curve, the nervous orchestra swing-romp "Jitterbug," before descending into a dark soundscape that becomes murkier and more avant-goth at every turn. Bubbling through that morass are pop nuggets variously cheesy (Dave Cavanaugh's lounge-ready "The Beast"), lugubriously bluesy (Sonny Boy Williamson's take on Willie Dixon's "Bring It On Home"), and alternately innocent ("I've Told Every Little Star") and liturgical ("Llorando"). Three tracks of the director's own (cowritten with John Neff) skulking Lounge Music from Hell ratchet up the tension even further; it's the perfect garnish for this darkly delicious film-music cocktail. --Jerry McCulley

the masters of "that film noir feeling"are back!!!,
By crown of indica "buckethead noir" (saint paul,mn,usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mulholland Drive (Audio CD)
If you saw this movie and liked what you heard as much as what you saw,there should be no question in your mind that you owe it to yourself to pick up this excellent piece of music.If you enjoyed the tracks"mountains falling" and "pretty 50's" I also must recommend Bluebob's cd(it's two members being David Lynch and John Neff)because those tracks are on it,too.The actual "score portion" of the cd is my favorite because it so potently creeps from a simple sounding subtle piece into this monolithic,brooding and depressed presence.I can describe what I picture while listening to it as maybe the color black being turned into an entity,or I could also see it possibly as the cumulative sound of the world's dread and depression.still, it remains a quite beautiful work of art,no matter how dismal it can seem.I only wish that angelo and david would have taken a chance and made an entire full-lenghth album of music such as this(without track marks!)and that is my only gripe-it could've been a 5 star perfection had it been a double-disc set. don't let me steer you away,though!complaing about this music is like a kid who can't get every color of lollipop in the candy store-treasure what you can get!(and what you get is indeed greatness!)

Ambient creepiness; melancholy,

This review is from: Mulholland Drive (Audio CD)
The sound track for Mulholland Drive, like the film itself, deftly veers between horror, farce, and tragic love story. With characteristic audacity, Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch weave a soundscape that pulls the listener from one mood to the next with little warning. This is music as sound effects, or perhaps sound effects as music; it's hard to tell. Even the more melodic tracks ("Jitterbug", "Mulholland Drive", the achingly beautiful "Diane and Camilla") have an undercurrent of hallucinatory kinesthesia, shot through with black veins of dread. The spookier tracks ("Diner", "Dwarfland/Love Theme", and especially "Mountains Falling") sound as though stirred up from some pit of cold, dark water in the basement of the psyche. OK, so that's a little purple. But that's what they sound like. Then there are the transparent little ditties tossed in from the film's contextual music cues - "I've Told Every Little Star", "The Beast", and "Bring it on Home". They provide much needed contrast and context for the original tracks, leavening the mix with a dash of satire. The weakest of these is Lynch's own "Dinner Party Pool Music", which is as bland and generic as something generated by Band In a Box. But then, that may have been the intent - to create a deliberately flavorless pastiche of the sort that the "Hollywood types" lampooned in that sequence would likely enjoy. That same sequence contains a more striking piece with a pulsing bass beat and trippy syncopated percussion section that is sadly missing from this CD. Of course, I feel compelled to also mention the fine a capella work of Rebekah Del Rio for her rendition (in Spanish) of Roy Orbison's "Crying". It comes at point in the film when the Bunuel-O-meter is all the way in the red, and serves to ground the very surreal sequence in a solid framework of human emotion. In all, Mulholland Drive is a CD certainly worth owning for David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti fans.

This review is from: Mulholland Drive (Audio CD)
This is one of my favorite soundtrack of all times. The atmosphere, the emotions, the dreams and reality shock, come beautifully and amazingly together to become a music that can't be forgotten.
