Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (Soundtrack)

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 Amazon.com

Haunting and excellent

I'm not usually a fan of jazz or this type of music at all, but this music is so powerful it will reach out to anyone with any reasonable sense of emotion - especially those who have seen the movie (or the series).

I must admit, I bought the soundtrack mainly because I heard it had Sycamore Trees on it, which I absolutely love, but it's only one of many good songs.

Any fan of Twin Peaks should at least seriously consider owning this. October 24, 2008

Haunting Soundtrack for a Haunting Film

This is by far one of the best soundtrack that I own, next to the original Twin Peaks series soundtrack. The haunting sounds of Angelo Badalamenti and the surreal vocals of Julee Cruise make this cd a very worthwhile purchase...and don't forget to get the DVD as well.... November 15, 2007

Creepy just as I like it!

I loved Twin Peaks when it was on television. I think I bought this and the television soundtrack because I loved the sound and the music so much. It is fitting that I write this before Halloween. Twin Peaks USA is a unique fictional town where the inhabitants are strange creatures themselves like the log lady among the others. Anyway, the sound here for the film is similar to the soundtrack. I like the sound and think it's appropriate for Halloween. October 19, 2006

very hard to explain > captivating

The music contained in this soundtrack as well as the soundtrack from the tv series is in a word "amazing" ... the theme song from the series soundtrack is on a level of it's own as far as "tranquil beauty" goes.... that is however... only until you are able to be absorbed by the hauntingly striking ballad > "questions in a world of blue" with Julee Cruz providing eerily soothing vocals...... when I heard a small part of that song when watching the dvd "Fire walk with me" ... I became almost hypnotized by the beauty of the ballad, knowing I had to have access to this soundtrack over and over again... tremendous movie ,,, wierd for sure ... in a unique way.... this soundtrack and the soundtrack from the series are must haves for anyone who likes music... and everyone who wishes to expand their horizons and in many cases surprise themselves... this music is unbelievable!

Dreamy, Dark, Brilliant

Overwhelmingly moody. This is the best soundtrack since The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Had a bad day? Let Angelo's soothing sounds put you at peace.
