This is a nicely crafted CD which is let down badly by the order of compilation, you have to keep skipping between tracks as some are nauseating and go on to long, however that is the only low point on this CD.
With its array of musical instruments ranging from woodwind to flute, guiro to xylophone, the most moving and evocative track here is the love theme from ‘twin Peaks’ on track nine as there is more instrumental diversity than the standard ‘twin peaks theme’ on track 1, its overall effect is far more inspiring and romantic. The Julee Cruise numbers (Into the night and Nightingale) are a nice addition with her dreamy and insidious vocals, which overall perfectly complement the eerie, and haunting instrumentals.
Though this CD does borrow heavily from the film ‘Blue Velvet’ you would barely notice as all ‘Lynchian’ music has a moody, bluesy, feel to it, this however benefits from Mark Frosts munificent gift of composing music, his stamp is well and truly all over it, in addition Julee Cruises ‘Falling’ is one of the most tender love songs ever written and it was a good idea for that to be the last track as it gives the soundtrack a nice ending which is antonymous of the series.
Basically a great CD with a mix that kicks with unforgettable scores
