David Lynch is one of the most iconic filmmakers of his generation. But his creepy, hypnotic visuals would be much less iconic without the moody atmospheres of composer Angelo Badalamenti. The duo have worked together on almost all of Lynch’s projects, but their most notable collaboration was Twin Peaks, the horror-comedy-drama-soap-opera series from the early ’90s. Badalamenti’s scores blended coffee-house jazz, ambient synth washes, and primal tremolo-bar blues. Spectacular stuff.
Lynch released the Season Two soundtrack over five years ago, but finding a copy has never exactly been easy. Now Sacred Bones has unearthed a select number of copies, which are currently available to purchase.
The label is also releasing the CD soundtrack to Lynch’s 1977 film debut, Eraserhead. The score — released last year on a limited-edition vinyl — is filled with industrial drones and creepy textures (as well as an extended David Lynch dance mix). This one’s also available as we speak.
I now present to you my favorite scene in TV history:

Has anyone actually been able to order either of these two CD’s? I tried ordering the Eraserhead Soundtrack weeks ago, it never arrived and Sacred Bones strangely will not respond to emails sent to their ordering division. Very bummed out…
