Veröffentlichung THE MUSIC OF DAVID LYNCH (2xLP)

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Am 15. April erscheint das Konzert vom letzten Jahr als Doppel-LP, bei dem Musik aus Lynchs Filmen, aber auch seinen eigenen Alben, zum Besten gegeben wurde.

 

The Twin Peaks soundtrack is prominently featured with maestro Angelo Badalamenti —joined by original Twin Peaks synthesizer player, Kinny Landrum— performing three of the show’s most renowned instrumentals; Laura Palmer’s Theme, Dance of the Dream Man and Twin Peaks Theme. There’s also Moby‘s bongo-infused and career-launching techno take on Laura Palmer’s Theme, Go, as well as Jim James‘ interpretation of Sycamore Trees, which its original composer afterwards praised as “a deeply moving performance!”

Arguably Mulholland Drive’s most memorable moment now captured live on this record, Rebekah Del Rio‘s a cappella version of Llorando sounds just as breathtaking and heartbreaking as when she performed it to an equally silenced audience at Club Silencio. Sky Ferreira adds composed intensity to Blue Velvet’s title song, while Tennis and Twin Peaks (the band) cover Roy Orbison’s In Dreams, which of course will forever be associated with Dean Stockwell’s scene-stealing mime.

 

From Wild at Heart, there’s Donovan‘s gracious version of Love Me Tender and an adventurous take on Wicked Game courtesy of Lykke Li. Zola Jesus adds vocal power to Eraserhead’s In Heaven, and hands down the album’s most experimental track is Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd‘s 10-minute soundscape inspired by Eraserhead and The Elephant Man with special guest and noise machine-builder Rebecca Baxter.

David Lynch’s recent nonfilmic musical collaborations are represented by Chrysta Bell‘s sensual Swing With Me and Karen O‘s energetic Pinky’s Dream. From the 15 songs on the double album, Duran Duran‘s The Chauffeur is the only track that has little to do with David Lynch —it wasn’t even part of the Duran Duran: Unstaged show he directed in 2011— but its sinister melody and lyrics certainly doesn’t make it feel out of place on this release. Finally, the closing track is David Lynch himself reciting a poem of unknown origin accompanied by Donovan on guitar, which you can watch below
