After the popularity of the Twin Peaks soundtrack, David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti collaborated with Julee Cruise to produce this fantastic album. Includes songs from Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet.
Lynch's lyrics come straight from the dark side of the brain, as does Angelo's music. And Julee's voice floats it all right up to radiator heaven.

This was written and produced by "David Lynch" (yes the film director)and "Anglo Badalamenti" this was the team that gave the world "Twin Peaks".
This album is a wonderful showcase for the delicate purity of "Julee Cruises" angelic vocals, that against the music of "Badalamenti" constructs a ghostly etheral wash that evoke the dark passion of desire.
Ben Websters warm saxophone and the occasional shimmering tremelo of guitar activates the sense of drama that used to be found in 50's pop this effect is also heightened by "Lynch" lyrics which eerily manipulate the listener with pharases of pop cliche.
This album is all about atmosphere, the dark and mysterious one that it conjures up, it does this wonderfully, sit back and enjoy.

When Angelo Badalamenti was scoring "Blue Velvet" for David Lynch he wanted to use This Mortal Coils, version of Tim Buckley,s "Song To The Siren for a key scene in the film. Great idea, except the song rights proved way too expensive, so it was suggested that Badalamenti compose a song in the same style with Lynch providing the lyrics. Badalamenti also wanted a vocalist who could mirror Liz Fraser,s powerful haunting performance and remembered Julee Cruise who had sung in a New York theatre production that Badalamenti had overseen. The result of this was the ethereal siren song "Mysteries Of Love" which figured prominently in "Blue Velvet"
Thus were the foundations laid for "Floating Into The Night" , one of the truly great albums by a female singer , though of course Cruise was,nt the writer . Following the positive reaction to "Mysteries Of Love" Lynch and Badalamenti collaborated further ,writing an exquisite selection of lush torch songs and marshmallow pop songs that gave a salient nod to Lynch's, obsession with his classic nostalgic obsession with America. The album was released in September 1989 ( a terrific year for albums) and featured in Lynch,s bizarre but brilliant TV series "Twin Peaks" with Cruise herself making cameo appearances as a nightclub singer.
Julee Cruise has, of course a voice like an angel in full on angelic mode while inhaling angel dust and it,s used to consummate effect on this album. "Falling " which featured most heavily in "Twin Peaks" has that distinctive twanging bass line and creamy keyboards while Cruise,s vocals glide serenely over the top. Then there is the finger popping "Rockin Back Inside My Heart", all glistening chords, lugubrious melody and body swerving middle eight.It,s fair to say though that "Floating Into The Night" is one of those special albums devoid of any filler material and while it maintains a consistent tone and mood it never becomes tiresome or repetitive.
It is also fair to say that Julee Cruise has not produced anything quite as wonderful since. Her follow up album "The Voice Of Love" released in 1993 has moments of true beauty but was in many ways a rehash of Floating Into The Night. She has also collaborated with other artists, mostly with techno/dance artists like Hybrid, although she has recently lent her emollient tones to albums by German post-rock band Pluramon. Whatever Julee Cruise lends her special voice to , is immediately rendered more special just by her participation but never has this borne more succulent fruit than on Floating Into The Night....a truly great album. As the Floaters once sang ...Float On.

Unique really, one you will love or hate. As weird, surreal, and special (with those same moments of frustration) as its progenator Twin Peaks. Read more
