Today marks the 20th anniversary of the end of the television show Twin Peaks; the final episode was broadcast on 10 June 1991 • Therefore, the new 5:4 podcast is a celebration of the remarkable music from this unique show • Despite some discussion of the story, those who haven't yet seen the show need not fear; there are no plot spoilers, & at no point do i mention who killed Laura Palmer • In the podcast i examine the various aspects of the music (mostly composed by Angelo Badalamenti), & how it's used to bring alive David Lynch's incredibly vivid & surreal drama • As ever, the podcast - which this time lasts just under 90 minutes - is available in both FLAC & MP3 formats •
FLAC [396MB] part 1 | part 2 | part 3
MP3 [v0 vbr | 143MB] part 1 | part 2
The three soundtrack albums referred to in the podcast are all still available, although the Season Two Music and More seems to be becoming rather scarce (in the UK, the best bet for that album is Play.com) • As for the Twin Peaks Archive, David Lynch's ongoing digital release of previously unavailable pieces from the Twin Peaks soundtrack, head on over to davidlynch.com •
EDIT: The podcast can also now be streamed via Mixcloud - although, for the best sound quality, use one of the download options •

That's a fascinating podcast - many thanks. It's good to hear all that music again and particularly intriguing to hear your contextualisation and explanation of it all.
The down side is that I now have to see the whole series again. So now I'll either have to reinvoigorate my video player or get the whole series on DVD somehow...
Thanks again
Thom
