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.

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.

  1. Amazing work as usual Ross! Interesting about the recent missing version of Sneaky Audrey as we know it's in private hands. Maybe Dean will find it.

    1. Thanks Brad. Ever since they released the Miss Twin Peaks bundle, I keep thinking each week that the Civil War bundle will pop up. Hope its in the cue. And despite being part of an unpopular storyline, I really love "James & Evelyn".

  4. Ross, is 'Windom's Deck' on your list?

    1. Jerry- "Windom's Deck" (the scene in ep 25 where Earle shows Leo the card deck) is actually just "Leo Returns" completely re-edited.
