Original score composed by Angelo Badalamenti & David Lynch.

Performed by The City Of Prague Philharmonic, conducted by Angelo Badalamenti.

David Lynch's 2001 movie MULHOLLAND DRIVE once again highlights the director's ability to use music as an integral part of a film. With longtime collaborator Angelo Badalamenti, Lynch returns to his American film noir roots and to a series of haunting soundscapes. Lynch and Badalamenti create a perfectly woven, ethereal tapestry. Stark and ominous orchestral snippets bookend Roy Orbison's "Crying," which is sung a cappella in Spanish by Rebekah Del Rio. Other musical treats include Willie Dixon's "Bring It On Home" as performed by Sonny Boy Williamson, and the little-known Hammerstein/Kern tune "I've Told Every Little Star" as sung by Linda Scott in a sweet, youthful voice.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE is an elaborate tale of suspense, set against the bizarre backdrop of the Hollywood Hills. Not surprisingly, Lynch and Badalamenti explore the city's schizophrenic nature through compositions of equal oddity. Badalamenti's smart yet far-out arrangements (performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic) effectively capture the radiance of this uncanny film.
