Twin Peaks Soundtrack CD for Sale

Audrey asks if the juke box music is too dreamy, not knowing that this is actually named Audrey’s Dance outside of the fictional town of Twin Peaks. Creator David Lynch had actress Sherilyn Fenn in mind when he created the coy, love struck, rich girl, Audrey Horne.

The actress does not disappoint as Audrey.  She performs this scene as a young woman yearning to be an adult, ordering coffee, for a childish reason (Agent Cooper loves coffee). She doesn’t realize that swaying to music in public may get you some strange looks. She still is impulsive and dances to her music when the mood strikes her.

Most of the music of Twin Peaks, represented in the diner, in dreams, and throughout the series, has the smokey room, 50s jazz combo feel. No one listens to the pop styles of the 80s or 90s here, not even the teenagers.

Once in a while there’s the sound of a twangy guitar, fingers snapping, or a stray reed instrument.  It is of an era that, by 1990 is definitely out of place, much like the town. It is the past reinvented for the present (circa 1990). Below is the gently haunting theme from the first season.


Turntabling has a CD of The Original TV Soundtrack of Twin Peaks Season One for sale —first come, first served.

Twin Peaks Soundtrack CD Angelo Badalamenti

Twin Peaks was so influential in its short, short run on TV that it’s hard to believe it’s not even in re-runs anywhere. The story of evil and corruption in a seemingly innocent little mountain town is so addicting I can’t put the DVDs on without committing myself to go through the entire story arc…it’s one of David Lynch’s most enduring works.

When I came across a supply of these CDs I couldn’t pass them up…I know the name of this blog is TURNTABLING, but there are some CDs worth owning–and DJing with. And yes, you can get a lot of mileage out of these great sounds by Angelo Badalamenti, imagine the mashups!

So yes, Turntabling caves in and sells a CD…there are actually a few more compact discs coming, but this is among the best of the lot. Angelo Badalamenti is a fantastic composer of dark, moody material like this and he’s able to stop on a dime–going from haunting and beautiful to moody and foreboding in an instant.

Buy the Twin Peaks Original Soundtrack CD direct from Turntabling for $12 plus shipping. (Shipping to overseas addresses may cost more–I will e-mail you with the final cost). The Twin Peaks soundtrack CD is sold as new-a shrink-wrapped CD.





If you haven’t seen the Twin Peaks Gold Box collection, you missed a fantastic interview with Angelo Badalamenti about how he worked with David Lynch to create the Twin Peaks theme music. Check out this clip and see the Maestro at work at the original keyboard he used to write the theme for Lynch and some recollections of David Lynch’s reactions to hearing the music. Amazing.
