New Archive release: Dance Of The Dream Man Solo bundle

   

   

In the same way that "Laura Palmer's Theme" and "Love Theme" are basically two sides of the musical coin, "Dance Of The Dream Man" and "Freshly Squeezed" are in some ways "one and the same". So the naming of the tracks can be a little confusing. For the most part, the faster versions seem to be called "Dance Of The Dream Man", while the slower versions are "Freshly Squeezed". Of course they released "Freshly Squeezed (Fast Cool Jazz Version)" under the Freshly Squeezed name, so that's not always set in stone.

This week's release includes 4 solo versions and a "Drum and Bass" version of DOTDM. As the description from davidlynch.com says, the solo versions created for the series were sometimes used as "building blocks" to be later mixed with other tracks, or used on their own. The slower versions of these particular solos (which I assume would be known as the "Freshly Squeezed" solo versions) were used more than these. Perhaps we will see those as well at some point.

In addition, there is still at least a few "Full" versions of the faster tracks that remain unreleased.

Here's the breakdown for the tracks included in this bundle:
