Soundtrack from Twin Peaks

Soundtrack from Twin Peaks (also known as Music from Twin Peaks) is a soundtrack album by American composer Angelo Badalamenti. It was released on September 11, 1990, by Warner Bros. Records and is the official soundtrack to the television series Twin Peaks (1990–1991). Though mostly instrumental, three tracks feature vocals by Julee Cruise.

Background

The series' co-creator David Lynch produced the album alongside Badalamenti and wrote lyrics for several tracks, including the series' theme song "Falling".

Upon its release, Soundtrack from Twin Peaks placed in several international charts—including the top 10 in Norway, Sweden, Australia and the Netherlands—and "Twin Peaks Theme" received the award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at 33rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Several tracks of the soundtrack were sampled numerous times, a famous example is "Laura Palmer's Theme", which was sampled in the "Woodtick Mix" of the song "Go" by Moby.
