Angelo Badalamenti "The Pink Room" from Fire Walk With Me 1992
Angelo Badalamenti "Red Bats With Teeth" from Lost Highway 1997
Angelo Badalamenti is, without question, my favorite film composer. Although some of his best work has been for Jean-Pierre Jeunet films, he is better-known as the composer for pretty much all the David Lynch films, and for good reason. Without his mix of smokey lounge/jazz, 50's instrumental guitar, and early Romanticism the Lynch films would never achieve the insiduous brooding nature for which they are known. We here at the Juggernaut threw a Lynch themed party a week ago, and it was a pleasure to break out some choice Badalamenti cuts on the decks, two of which are presented here. I definitely count him as a large influence of my own stuff. Interesting side note: David Lynch usually plays all the guitar in Badalamenti scores.
