I was thinking of giving this soundtrack 4/5 stars - after all, compared with soundtrack heavyweights like The Godfather, Twin Peaks with its three-or-four songs (and many variations thereof) seems a bit limited. But what songs they are - each one conjures up the elusive, ambiguous feel of the TV series instantly - the main theme has an immediate Lynch vibe, The Dance of the Dream Man is music to go mad to (clicking your fingers all the way) and is perhaps the best surrealist music (or music for surrealism) since Eraserhead, while the Laura Palmer theme makes me think I'm going to stumble across a dead cheerleader's body any moment now, even in the middle of a sunny day.
No, you can't deny Badalamenti's musical genius - this is unarguably the greatest TV soundtrack ever made.

mood scenes of Angelo Badalamenti   December 14, 2009

The music of Angelo Badalamenti often has this mysterious quality to it which keeps you involved and in suspense appropriate to the viewing experience of the movie scenes the music was design to accompany. I have never watched neither the Twin Peaks movies nor tv series (and it is something I'm still looking forward to do some day), but I have seen both Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive and I do know how his music interacts with the movies by David Lynch. I do love surrounding myself with the soundtrack music of Angelo Badalamenti and to have his mysterious, often emotional, unique ambient moods become part of my listening experience. The music of the soundtrack to Twin Peaks has this special spooky aspect to it which makes this album even more unique to Angelo Badalamenti. Our experience has a lot to do with the engineering of sound where melodies seem to flow a bit off center; the focus is turned to the ambient noise and arrangements keeping us a bit on the edge of something (in the words of the composer himself) `tragically beautiful'. This phrase describes the mood perfectly. I am really attracted to how mellow this soundtrack is overall. It is soothing and relaxing and after a few hours of being within this music you may also find yourself a bit withdrawn from your every day's reality and closer to your world of dreams. Try listening to track number 8 Night Life In Twin Peaks on repeat 1 for a couple of hours. It gets quite bizarre after a while. Many of Angelo's soundtracks are very good, but overall this one is my favorite one. Back in 2007 I have compiled my favorite moments of music from soundtracks by Angelo Badalamenti calling it:

The essence of Twin Peaks captured on a small shiny disk   November 6, 1999

If you have ever watched, rewatched and rewatched and loved and lived and breathed the series, this CD will keep you right there in Twin Peaks. Even if you had never seen the series this music would still carry you to another world. It is just so weird and dark and lonely and beautiful and twisted and sad and deliriously emotional. Badalamenti is a genius.
