Angelo Badalamenti’s haunting original score inspired by Shostakovich’s 15th Symphony eerily accentuates the noir mood of David Lynch’s 1986 thriller Blue Velvet and is juxtaposed with trashy Hammond-led boogie and overblown baroque pop from Roy Orbison and Ketty Lester. A precursor to Lynch’s Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, the iconic soundtrack marks the beginning of Angelo Badalamenti’s creative partnership with David Lynch and sets a template for ethereal noir soundtracks in a modern, quite disturbed age torn between terror and ecstasy. · Pressed on marbled blue vinyl. · Album cover features original art from the Italian movie poster designed by Enzo Sciotti.
