Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"Laurens, Iowa" is the opening credits which, in the film, segues from a starfield in motion into a first view of waving corn. Structurally the piece follows the rhythmic flow of Badalamenti's classic Twin Peaks theme but plays out a longer and far more Melancholy melody. And it is with melancholia that both film and score continue as Alvin's extraordinary journey is told. The rolling fields at the turn of harvest are a quite beautiful visual metaphor for the getting-to-the-end-of-the-road tale.

They inspired an unprecedented level of intimacy from this long-standing director/composer relationship, with David Lynch's sound design always erring in favour of Badalamenti's tear-jerking score. With a guitar ensemble, Country scratch fiddles, and strings, "Rose's Theme" and "Alvin's Theme" are unashamedly bittersweet. These motifs re-appear in various solo guises ("Final Miles") and frequently interweave as a statement of Alvin's realisation that family is the most important thing in life.

You're always going to get something spectacular when these two work together, and this is easily their most universally appealing project. --Paul Tonks
