The best television series soundtrack ever for my money,
November 13, 2002 This review is from: Twin Peaks (Season One TV Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
"My (musical) world is a little bit dark. . . a little bit off-center. I think of it as tragically beautiful. That is how I would describe what I love best: tragically beautiful." Angelo BadalamentiToday's working hypothesis is no composer was ever more important to the success of a television show than Angelo Badalamenti was for his work on the David Lynch televison cult hit "Twin Peaks" (1990-91). The criteria here is not just coming up with a memorable instrumental theme song (in which case we just pick Lalo Schifrin for "Mission Impossible"), but the scoring of various episodes over the course of several seasons.

Jan Hammer's work on "Miami Vice" got a lot of publicity, but when you think of the soundtrack for that show you are just as likely to think of Glenn Frey's "Smuggler's Blues" and Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" as you are the show's theme song or other...Read more

Super,

This is The Sound Track ever.
Sad, melancholic, beautiful, dark, fragile, gentle.
Turn your lights off and sit in the dark with a nice drink and think.
Wait till the trumpets come...
It is probably good idea not to hold your drink in your hands while listening.
This music brings you to another world.
Simply outstanding.

Perfect Compliment!,

If you're a Twin Peaks fan, like me, you can truly appreciate how incredibly perfect this soundtrack is to the greatest show ever created.Much like the series, this music creates the perfect mood. The music is ethereal, jazzy,sexy and totally hypnotic to the human ear.The cameo performances from Julee Cruise helps, her voice is much like the melodies, beautiful and dreamy, pure heaven.It brings you back to Peaks, a feeling I will never tire of.
