New Archive Release: Packards' Vibration

   

The Packards' theme, or "Packards' Vibration", debuted with the intro of Andrew Packard at the end of episode 18 and became the Packards' dominant theme for the rest of the series. The version released on the second soundtrack was one of several tracks "spruced up" for the release. It featured a sped-up "Freshly Squeezed (Solo Vibraphone) at the beginning of the track, and also is slightly sped up and altered.

The original version has now been released from the TP Archive.

  1. Info:

    Your Infosite about Twin Peaks Archive (http://twinpeakssoundtrackdesign.blogspot.de/p/twin-peaks-archive-info.html) is not correct:

    167 Evelyn's Mourning (Mix) (1:47)
    167 Evelyn's Mourning (1:21)

    Double Numbers! In fact there are actually 178 tracks in the Archive! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Twin_Peaks#The_Twin_Peaks_Archive)

    But fantastic Work as always Ross! :-)

    1. Mike, there should be a new release this week. And there may possibly only be a couple of more releases. Here's what was posted over on the Dugpa boards:

      -There will be a release next week (May 31). Substantial bundles are being prepared to close out the Series.

      -Dean has spent countless hours searching for the 'The Swan (Instrumental)', 'Windom Earles Theme (Strings)' and 'Leland's Dance' and it looks like they may be lost for good.

      -Also there are no plans to release the sound FX.

    2. Thanks, Ross. Disappointing re the missing tracks, but I guess more has been uncovered than you would've originally guessed, right?

    3. Yeah- finding out there are missing tracks is disappointing. I was especially interested "Windom Earle's Theme (Strings)" which only popped up in an episode recap. It sounded very cool.
