This time on 14tracks:

“Under the influence of Angelo Badalamenti ”

The films of David Lynch and their accompanying soundtracks from Angelo Badalamenti have had a subliminal yet profound impact on the sonic palette of a whole generation of composers. From the 50's kitsch-pop arrangements of Blue Velvet, the strobe-lit themes in Twin Peaks and the smoky jazz romanticism of Mullholland Drive, Badalamenti's compositions are inextricably linked to some of the most surreally defining cinematic imagery of our times. Like a modern day Bernard Herrmann, Badalamenti's scores are synonymous with themes of darkness and sublime atmospheric tension, casting an ever-lasting spell on numerous composers working within modern classical, ambient and electronic music. From the intangible blue smokescapes of Julien Neto's 'Le Fumeur De Ciel' through to Stars Of The Lid's dreamy menace or the creepy suburban surreality of Yoga's 'Dreamcast', these artists all share a sonic vision of a world that's never quite as it seems...

“amazing”

Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.

“The owls are not what they seem”

Sublime unsettling musick - props for inclusion of Julien Neto. No V/VM or Bohren though..?

“This calls for some black coffee and cherry pie”

All this and no Bohren - very clever! I've finally been tempted to buy one of these collections all the others, whilst good have covered ground alreayd covered by myself already.

cheers.

Bohren and V/Vm are too obvious... the Neto and Pjusk tracks are gorgeous though... sweet traumas.

“Tenuous”

Fantastic compilation of awesome music, but the 'under the influence of Angelo Badalamenti' thing is a bit of a tenuous link apart from on a few tracks. Never mind though.
