Product Description

From Amazon.com

The music for Fire Walk with Me, David Lynch's brooding feature film follow-up to the groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks, again uses the talents of Angelo Badalamenti to create a chilling backdrop to Lynch's dark psychosexual thriller. Film noir is once again the touchstone for this perfectly pitched score, and these 10 tracks stand repeated listening in their own right. This is in part due to the use of some top notch jazz players such as Buster Williams, Grady Tate, and Vinnie Bell, as well as vocalist Jimmy Scott's haunting delivery on "Sycamore Trees." Sax, vibes, upright bass, and percussion set a smoky atmosphere, and the eerie synthesizer and string arrangements augment the general spine-tingling melancholy and menace. Singer Julee Cruise also appears, lending angelic repression to "Questions in a World of Blue"; Lynch contributes compositions and percussion throughout this exercise in bleakness and love gone awry. --Derek Rath

5.0 out of 5 stars Very stylish..., Jun 14 2004
By 
Alex (Minsk, Belarus) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
This is not another soundtrack. This album can be an enjoyable entity without the visual action. With this CD you are about to listen to the music rather than to re-capture pictures of the movie. Yes, in a town like Twin Peaks no one is innocent, but you are on the safe side even if you do not know what the movie is about.

Great intimate compositions can serve for a late night session (but A Real Indication with composer Angelo Badalamenti's voice). This music is a good way to reflect your inner-state. The album is a mixture of jazz, easy listening, adult contemporary, and whatever you call it. You better develop your own definition of the miracle and well-stated under-statements, or avoid putting a tag on this CD at all. Just enjoy music made very professionally to please those who understand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack that can also stand alone, May 7 2003

This review is from: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
Before we start here, let's get one thing straight: I do not listen to this type of music. I usually need to be in a very special mood to listen to this sort of dark, dreamy jazz, and my atypical reaction to this album is what makes me feel qualified to review it.

The slow to mid-tempo jazz on this CD represent some of the best film music I've ever heard, matched perfectly to the visual tale of Laura Palmer's tragic descent into hell. It stands alone just as well.

The album opens with the almost disturbing, after-midnight Theme from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and kicks right into the shady The Pine Float. The tracks don't segue, but they flow together so well that unless you're listening closely, you won't notice the breaks between pieces. There are a few lyric songs here, too, the abstract The Black Dog Runs At Night, and the plaintive Sycamore Trees. Of special note, however, are Questions In A World Of Blue with vocals by longtime Lynch/Badalamenti corroborator Julee Cruise and A Real Indication with raw, beat-poetry vocals delivered by Badalamenti himself. The Pink Room takes us into the hell of Laura Palmer's last days, and Best Friends lifts us back out. Moving Through Time is an incredible, surreal, almost minimalist piece. The famous Twin Peaks theme (falling) makes an appearance too as part of a montage.

All in all, a very tight CD. It has low points just as well as its high points (I'm not so fond of Sycamore Trees or Don't Do Anything (I Wouldn't Do), but I might be alone in that), but the good far outweighs the bad. This CD is a must for any fan of Twin Peaks or Angelo Badalamenti, and for anyone who's simply looking to expand their music collection with something worth listening to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real freaky winner, Feb 24 2003
By 
Odd Magne Granli (Southern Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
If you want something out of the blue, something not expected, something unusual which can open your eyes and take a good look at your self and your life, this soundtrack would be it. Filled with so much strange music, its hard to put any words on it.
While there are beautiful songs here, like the outerworldy and haunting "Questions in a world of blue" and "Best Friends", there are also freaky tracks who had to be there to force you back to the moments you were scared of Twin Peaks. Songs like the directly scary "Thought Gang / The Black dog runs at night" and the jazzy but broody "Sycamore Trees" summons that dark feeling inside you. The soundtrack works on so many different stages, and thats why it maybe gets so close to you.
Since the music in Twin Peaks is so important, many times the music is the first thing to capture your mind, and the soundtrack is also so easy to remember when listening to it afterwards.
One song that needs special attention is "Montage from Twin Peaks: Girls Talk / Birds from Hell / Laura Palmer`s Theme" it goes from a sweet and bitter slow ballad, to a sad and eerie piano, until it fades out till the themesong of Twin Peaks, Calling you. The way it does that, is just fantastic. Due to its absence, Calling you comes like an Angel, just like in the movie when Laura Palmer is saved.
I have the highest number of thumbs up for this soundtrack. It really is superb in any possible way, its hard to stay cold while listening to this, especially if you loved the movie.
While we know that we`ll never see Twin Peaks again, we can always dream us back to the town in this soundtrack. Stunning.
