Rating: How to destroy something beautiful.
Laura Palmer is beautiful and loved by everyone. But something is consuming her inside, a desire to hurt herself and go beyond all limits, to desecrate her body with sex and cocaine. Every day she must face her demons. She even gave them a face, a terrible grinning gaze. And a name.
For me, Twin Peaks remains one of the most beautiful series ever released, a great study on the evil that lives within people and drives them to ruin themselves even when they could have everything.
Some might argue that "Fire Walk With Me" does not hold up to the series, and they wouldn't be entirely wrong. But as far as I am concerned, the album in question buries the much more well-known "Music From Twin Peaks". Here you will find a grand Badalamenti, who enchants with his dark and tremendously sexy jazz. That double bass with such a warm sound and that sax which seems to emerge directly from the heart of the night.
Listen to "Theme from Twin Peaks - FWWM" and you'll change your mind... Even that madman Mike Patton remade it with his Fantomas (on "The Director's Cut"). And what to say about "Sycamore Trees"? I swear, if I think back to Jimmy Scott (historic jazz singer from the '60s) appearing from the darkness and starting to sing... My God.
But there are also the dreamy delicacies of Julee Cruise's sweet voice: "Questions In a World of Blue" (from her "The Voice of Love") is a truly heartbreaking gem. And the final scene, with "The Voice of Love" in the background... The music becomes part of you.
In short, some of the most beautiful compositions that have accompanied the images of father Lynch... And if, like me, you loved Twin Peaks, you cannot miss it.
