First off, we have "Earle's Theme", one of three flute tracks that were used in connection with Earle, often mixed with other tracks. Along with "Windom Earle's Motif" these helped define the audio identity of Cooper's nemesis. Hopefully we will get the other Earle flute tracks eventually, one of which is a flute version of "Audrey's Prayer".

Another ominous track that should be instantly recognizable to viewers is "Hank's Theme". There were only two very short tracks used for Hank's Theme. The most often used of the two versions is actually only 30 seconds long. Short, but it was used so often that it becomes an essential theme.

The real highlight of this release for me is "Wheeler's Theme". One that's been at the top of my want list for a while now. It pops up so often in the final episodes it becomes another essential track. And with its slow & twangy, warm guitar vibe its a unique track in the TP universe. Great to finally have it.

Another great release from the Archive. I know some may consider these "lesser" TP tracks, and even though many are fairly short, there is some wonderful stuff here.
Check out my covers. I've had some of these done for a while and I think many of them turned out pretty nice. Grab the bundle from davidlynch.com. According to info on the Dugpa board, this will be the only release in October, with releases resuming in November. Until then, don't forget to check out my scene guide here, or from the tab above. You can keep track of where tracks were heard, and what still remains unreleased.
