Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

This incredible soundtrack to David Lynch's grossly underrated film features some of composer Angelo Badalamenti's most effective and haunting music. The 12 tracks included here are wildly divergent, encompassing ambient instrumentals, jazz interludes and several pieces which defy categorization.
Of particular note is Julee Cruise's "Questions In A World Of Blue", as beautiful in its own way as her legendary "Falling". "The Pink Room", one of the dirtiest grindhouse freakouts ever committed to tape, features a brilliantly haunting bassline written by Lynch, and stunning reverb-drenched guitar by David Jaurequi.
The spoken-word lurching bass-growl of "The Black Dog Runs At Night" is as spine-chilling as Jimmy Scott's vocal on "Sycamore Trees", both pieces perfectly encapsulating the darkness at the core of the film. "The Voice Of Love" is one of the most emotional synthesizer pieces Badalamenti has ever committed to tape.
This is a stunning companion to an overlooked masterpiece, and an essential purchase for anyone wishing to further explore the incredible work of David Lynch.
(NOTE- Cherubini's "Agnus Dei", which features in the film's closing moments, is sadly not included on this disc. The exact version featured in the film can be ordered here).

Following the brilliant TV soundtrack, this album is a worthy follow-up. If you loved the first Twin Peaks soundtrack, you will for sure enjoy this one as well, although it lacks some of the magic captured on the first album. Here are dark and moody tunes as well as bright, up-tempo jazz, not to mention another dreamy song from Julee Cruise, "Questions In A World Of Blue". Just like the movie did, it carries a darker mood than its predecessor.

Fire Walk with Me is an underrated film, what has never been in doubt is the quality of Angelo Badalamentis comtribution to Twin Peaks, his themes are constantly moving throughout the show and the movie.
Badalamenti moves away from the themes of the series (although occasionally he does use a couple) and has created a truely memorable soundtrack to a haunting and beautiful film.
I say beautiful simply for the last track which is stunning and if you see the movie you will understand even more.
top stuff.
