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.

New Archive update: Evelyn's Mourning

Last week's James & Evelyn bundle included a version of "Evelyn's Mourning" that was actually a mix patterned after the version heard in episode 22. But didn't include either original version. Both unaltered original versions of the track have now been found in the Archives. The bundle has been amended to include them now. And if you had previously bought the track, you can go here to download:

Here's what Dean of the TP Archives had to say:
Here is a free link to the proper archive version of 'Evelyn's Mourning.' Oddly enough, it was lumped in with the label 'Dark Intro' (the subject of this week's release), which is why it wasn't initially located. Not that anything in the archive is usually named what it actually relates to. It all ties in, however, as you can clearly hear the same 'Evelyn's Mourning' ascend in this week's 'Dark Intro #2.' Also included is a very nice additional extended take of 'Evelyn's Mourning' with a bit of riffing off of the main refrain...

Thanks to Dean's continued dedication in bringing all of this amazing music to the fans!

New Archive Release: Dark Intro bundle

   

   

   

This week's new release is six never-before heard "intro" variations of LPT. None were used on the show, but their familiar strains of the intro section of LPT make them instantly recognizable as TP tracks. Very cool to hear completely unheard music from the Twin Peaks universe 20+ years later.
