Another new Archive release from davidlynch.com. This time its two versions of what is probably the signature theme from the show, Laura Palmer's Theme (aka the Love Theme). The "Alternate" version stays pretty close to the original version but with some interesting variations. The real gem of this release though, is the "Solo Rhodes" version. I believe this version was heard only once in the series- in the pilot when Cooper interrogates Donna about the picnic video. Its lovely, and I'm surprised they didn't use it more. Hearing it on its own is a real treat.
There are, of course, several versions of Laura Palmer's Theme that remain unreleased. Most significantly, the version with piano twinklings from the Jacoby coconut scene, the version with guitar punctuations, and the ethereal version played over the picnic video. Hopefully these will also see the light of day as part of the Archive releases.
Another very nice release. See my artwork here.
The newest release from davidlynch.com is a four track bundle of the FWWM track "Mysterioso". My art/covers are here.
When the second season soundtrack finally saw the light of day back in '07, there were two glaring omissions (in my opinion). The music from Annie & Cooper's dance, "Annie And Cooper" (episode 27), and the organ version of the Twin Peaks theme that plays when Norma's mother confesses to being MT Wentz (episode 17). At the time, the rumor was a third soundtrack was in the works, so I figured that these two biggies were being held for that 3rd release. It was frustrating when that didn't happen. But now, thanks to the Twin Peaks Archive from davidlynch.com, both songs have been released!
Monday, the "Nostalgia bundle" was released featuring the MT Wentz version, entitled "Twin Peaks (Solo Rhodes)" in its full-length glory. Not only that, but we also get the "Nostalgia Version" featured in episode 18 when Ben watches his childhood home-movies. This version, like the televised version, features a short segment of harp & guitar that then fades into the "Rhodes" version. We also get the short harp & guitar segment on its own in its original (faster) version. This original faster version was used for Nadine's suicide attempt in episode 7. It was slowed down when used for Ben's scene.
Amazing release. My artwork for the Rhodes & Nostalgia versions are here.
The newest track released on davidlynch.com is the bass clarinet version of "Freshly Squeezed". One of many versions heard in the series. Go grab it, and check out my art above.
Just added some track art for the "Season Two And More" release. Along with an alternate version of the cover (see above). Click on the Season Two And More tab to check them out.
I've added a bunch of non-Twin Peaks custom soundtrack covers that I've done. Some are complete re-designs, and some are tweaks/spins on the original versions. Click on the Non-Twin Peaks tab to check them out.
Here is a design I created for the track "Annie And Cooper". The track is featured in episode 27 when Annie and Cooper dance at the Great Northern. Its finally available for the first time ever from davidlynch.com.
This was the one track that I was really bummed was left off of the "Second Season & More" release, so its fantastic to finally have it. Its a short track, but a real gem. One of my favorites. (In addition to its main appearance in the Annie & Cooper scene, a brief portion of this track is also heard in episode 22 when James confronts Evelyn.)

Well, the wait is over (again). After the release of the original Twin Peaks soundtrack in 1990, and the FWWM soundtrack in 1992, Twin Peaks fans had to wait what seemed like an eternity to see any more music released. For a while, it seemed like we may never see any of the incredible music featured in the second season of the series. Until, finally in 2007, somewhat of a miracle happened- a new soundtrack was released featuring many of the most memorable tracks from the second season (and more). At the time, it was rumored that there were actually two soundtrack albums being prepared. But that second release never happened. And fans were left wondering once again if that was the end. Until now- davidlynch.com has just relaunched itself as the "David Lynch Music Company", and the most exciting thing about it is the creation of an "open Album" called "The Twin Peaks Archive" that will focus on bringing us rare & unreleased tracks from both the series & FWWM.
The first release is the much-requested "Deer Meadow Shuffle". Amazing. Check out my design for this and other "Twin Peaks Archive" releases by clicking here.
"Entering the town of Twin Peaks." Welcome to my blog. I've been a huge fan of Twin Peaks since it first hit the air- way back in the spring of 1990. Twin Peaks has stuck with me & been a part of my life to this day. One of the the most memorable things about the series is Angelo Badalamenti's amazing soundtrack. Perfectly capturing everything that Twin Peaks set out to be. This site is a celebration of that.
I'm a designer, and have made many custom covers over the years- both Twin Peaks related and not. The recent 20th anniversary of the show and the launch of the "Twin Peaks Archive" on davidlynch.com has inspired me to set up this blog to share some of my art/designs. I hope you enjoy seeing them.
I will continue to update with new art, as well as other Twin Peaks related musings & goings-on. Enjoy the site! "...and there's always music in the air."
