New Archive Release: Civil War bundle

   

   

I'm surprised this release didn't pop up sooner, but here it is: the tracks that accompanied Ben's Civil War mental breakdown during season two. In addition to "Ben's Lament" and the full "Ben's Battle" track, we get the components that make up the track.

Ben’s Lament
Episode 20: Ben’s office, he lights lantern, Catherine enters

Ben’s Battle

Episode 21: Audrey arrives in Ben’s office with Jerry (Solo Trumpet and then alternates between Full Version and Solo Percussion)
Episode 21: Waterfall, switch to sheriff’s station, Major stumbles in, asks to see Truman then collapses (Solo Percussion mixed with Solo Trumpet)
Episode 22: Audrey & Jerry in costume with Ben (Full Version)
Episode 22: Ben makes speech in front of confederate flag (Solo Percussion)
Episode 22: Ben collapses (beginning of Full Version [or Solo Percussion])

New Archive Release: Great Northern bundle

   

This week brings a fantastic 8 track bundle of (mostly) Great Northern related tracks.

Great Northern Big Band (1:31)

Episode 3: At the Great Northern, Leland breaks down & cries for someone to dance with him

Episode 5: Party for the Icelanders, as the music starts, Leland starts dancing & breaking down, Catherine tries to save the situation by dancing with him

Episode 5: Ben & Josie in his office, music from above scene heard in background before fading out

Attack Of The Pine Weasel (2:12)
Episode 24: All hell breaks loose as the pine weasel runs amuck at the Stop Ghostwood fashion show

   

   

Next up we finally get the 4th Great Northern Piano Tune (heard in episodes 25 & 26). Previously, I had posted one cover for all of the GNP tracks. But I've had requests for individual covers, so I'm presenting them here now.

One thing you will notice is that there is a 10 sec synth line in the track from about 1:43-1:53 from the soundtrack of episode 25 (Cooper sees the cuts on Annie's wrists). A bit odd, I wonder if perhaps this track was missing from the archives and was pulled from the episode soundtrack itself, resulting in the sound being included(?) The "wine tasting" scene in ep 26 uses the track sped up and looped (and this sound is absent in that scene).

So the only missing Piano track now would be the "extended" version of #2 that appears in episode 23. Not sure about this one. Maybe it was made from 2 tracks? I listened to it closer, and the first part of the track is the released version, and then the second half of the track has two small sections that may be loops from the released version, but there is one section that isn't from the (released) track, and I don't recognize if from any of the other 3 GNP tracks.

Great Northern Piano Tune 4 (2:55)

Episode 25: Annie orders a drink, talks to Cooper

Episode 26: Wine tasting scene 1 (sped-up and looped)

   

   

Next up are the 4 tracks used during the Milford wedding in episode 18. The numbering of the wedding tunes is a little weird, as its different than the TV order. Which would be #3 Accordion = #1, #1 = #2, and #2 ('Stranger Nights') = #3. So I changed them to match the TV order.

Wedding song #1 (released)/#2 (actual) was looped to extend by about a minute when later used in the diner (ep 25).

Wedding Hymn (0:33)

Episode 18: Milford wedding vows

Wedding Song No 1 (Accordion) (1:02)

Episode 18: Cooper arrives at the wedding reception and talks to Denise

Wedding Song No 2 (1:52)

Episode 18: Denise tells Cooper his story about wearing woman’s clothes; meets Lana

Episode 25: Cole, Cooper & Truman enter the RR, Cole introduces himself to Shelly, he can hear her (looped)

Wedding Song No 3 (Stranger Nights) (1:13)

Episode 18: Cooper dances with Audrey; Andy dances with Denise

Lastly, we get a track that actually wasn't heard in the Great Northern. Although it was used as part of the released version (but not TV version) of "Twin Peaks (Nostalgia Version)". The Solo Harp version was only used once in the series (episode 21), and was actually never heard at its original speed (the released version). The episode features the tracks slowed down.

Twin Peaks (Solo Harp) (1:03)

Episode 21: Doc Hayward tells Dick & Andy about Little Nicky’s past (slowed down)

New Archive Release: One-Armed Man's Theme

This week's release is the "solo clarinet improv" that became associated with the One-Armed Man. It was mostly only heard mixed with other tracks on the show.

It can be heard here:
One-Armed Man's Theme (Solo Clarinet Improv) (4:57)
Episode 10: One-Armed Man in the bathroom (plays over a mix of Black Lodge Rumble, Unease Motif/The Woods, & Leo's Theme)
Episode 13: One-Armed Man in conference room turns into "Mike" (plays over White Lodge Rumble)
Episode 16: One-Armed Man in Great Northern bed talks to Cooper (plays over Unease Motif/The Woods)
Episode 25: Opening credits at the Bookhouse before Jones makes her move on Truman (before segueing into Stair Music/Danger Theme)
(the beginning of Episode 25 being the only showcase of it as a solo)

So far, this is the only version of this track released from the Archive. However, there are actually two other versions. There is one version that combines this clarinet solo and another solo (bass clarinet).
This "Combo" version was used as part of "Night Life In Twin Peaks" which is heard in this scene:
Episode 17: Hank & Ernie at OEJs, Hank introduces Ernie to Jean (mixed with additional elements)

And it was the combo version that leaked as a bootleg a few years back.

Now the interesting part: The other solo (bass clarinet), on its own, is actually the solo that became "Jean Renault's Theme", heard (mixed with other tracks) in these scenes:
Episode 10: Jean & Nancy give drugged Audrey caramel (plays over half-speed Sneaky Audrey)
Episode 12: Jean demos his arm-knife to Blackie, Jean talks to Nancy about Blackie (plays over slowed-down Laura Palmer’s Theme (Bass Guitar Punctuation))
Episode 17: Hank, Ernie & Jean at OEJ's, Mountie King enters (plays over the mix of Night Life In Twin Peaks)
Episode 20: Cooper & gang at the Dead Dog Farm stakeout, watch Jean and others through binoculars (plays over Laura Palmer’s Theme (Bass Guitar Punctuation))

So there should be three versions of this one:
One-Armed Man's Theme (Solo Clarinet Improv) (released)
One-Armed Man's Theme (Clarinet & Bass Clarinet Combo) (unreleased)
One-Armed Man's Theme (Solo Bass Clarinet) AKA "Jean Renault's Theme" (unreleased)

Anyway, great to have this one. And I'm really hoping we eventually get the other two versions, especially the Solo Bass "Jean Renault's Theme" version. Definitely still things to look forward to from the TP Archive!

New Archive release: Audrey's Dance DOTDM mixes

   

Along with this week's "Audrey's Dance/Sneaky Audrey" bundle, the Archive released three mixes of "Audrey's Dance" that are combinations of the fast version of "Audrey's Dance" with the solo versions of "Dance Of The Dream Man". These are fantastic, especially the Flute version. Surprisingly, none of these were ever used on the show. But luckily, they were in the Archives, and can now be heard!

Audrey's Dance (Dance Of The Dream Man Clarinet) (3:37)
Audrey's Dance (Dance Of The Dream Man Flute) (3:39)
Audrey's Dance (Dance Of The Dream Man Sax) (3:40)

The Twin Peaks Archive: One Year Later

Last march marked the beginning of the TP Archive on davidlynch.com. I had heard that dl.com was being reworked as a music site, and I had hoped that might possibly mean the release of some Twin Peaks tracks. And then two versions of FWWM's "Deer Meadow Shuffle" popped up as part of an "open album". I never would have dreamed that within a year we'd see a majority of the unreleased Twin Peaks tracks released. Its a year later, and the Archive is still going strong. It's something I thought I'd never see. And its been a dream come true.

This site has been a love letter to the Archive releases, the TP music in general, and to other fans. I hope others have found it to be a great companion site for info and of course the covers themselves.

So what's next? I think there are still some treats awaiting us. From Ben's Civil War tracks to the Milford Wedding songs. Also the remaining slow/half speed tracks. Right now, I'm probably looking forward to the original version of "James & Evelyn" the most. But will cherish all that are released.

   

Here's what's left unreleased:

Attack Of The Pine Weasel
Audrey (Clean TV Version)
Ben’s Battle (Various Versions)

Who knows if all of these can be found or not. And also keep in mind that this is a list of only the remaining tracks used in the series. And there are bound to be some more unused/unheard goodies to come! 

I've also updated the Archive tracklisting, TP scene guide, and chronological order pages. So check them out. Looking forward to what the second year will bring. A heartfelt "thank you" to Dean and the TP Archive, and other fans.

New Archive release: Sneaky Audrey bundle

   

The other half of this week's release are the various versions of "Sneaky Audrey". The original version was released from the Archive a while back, and was also used as part of the "Bookhouse Boys" montage on the original soundtrack.

Unfortunately, the short "Reprise" version heard in episode 4 wasn't located in the Archives (according to the write-up included with the release). Also missing is the original clean version of "Audrey" from the second soundtrack, which was changed a bit for release by adding the "Solo" elements to it. Perhaps the "Reprise" version will be found?

Sneaky Audrey (Reprise) (not located in archives)
Episode 04: At the Timber Falls Motel, Catherine finds the poker chip from OEJs

Audrey (Original Clean TV Version)
Episode 14: Cooper dictates in the conference room about Laura’s diary, Audrey arrives and tells what she found out about Ben

New Archive release: Audrey's Dance bundle

   

   

The Twin Peaks Archive returns this week with a fantastic 11-track bundle that really fills in some holes in the collection. Finally releasing a few tracks that were used quite often in the series. I'll be splitting this release into a few posts. First up is the "Audrey's Dance" bundle.

Aside from the original version that was released on the original soundtrack and the "Percussion & Clarinets" version that was released previously from the Archive, there were an additional 5 versions of "Audrey's Dance" used in the series. All of which are included in this release.

Audrey’s Dance (Fast) (Clean) (3:40)

Episode 04: Josie takes pictures at the Timber Falls Motel

Episode 12: Maddy in bushes outside of Harold’s

Audrey’s Dance (Synth & Vibraphone) (1:06)
Episode 06: Cooper sets tape recorder for Waldo

Finally, there is the often used "Drums And Bass" version. The naming of the track confused me a bit at first. I originally thought "Freshly Squeezed" made more sense since it doesn't have that melodic component that we think of as "Audrey's Dance". But upon closer listen you realize that it's actually a "cleaner" version of the "clean" version, with that melodic component stripped out. (It's the "Clean" version without the "Solo Rhodes" added to it.) So, it's technically the base "Drums And Bass" track used for "Audrey's Dance". I originally had a choice of covers up for both names, but it's technically correct as "Audrey's Dance". No matter the name, its really nice to finally have this one!!

Audrey’s Dance (Drums And Bass) (5:12)
