        			One of Entertainment Weekly&apos;s 100 Best Soundtracks Of All Time // A precursor to Lynch&apos;s Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet sets a template for ethereal noir soundtracks in a modern, quite disturbed age. &quot;The shock of the new fades by definition, but it has hardly done so in the case of Blue Velvet.&quot; Dennis Lim, Salon, 2016 // &quot;The haunting soundtrack accompanies the title credits, then weaves through the narrative, accentuating the noir mood of the film.&quot; - John Alexander, The British Film Resource // You know that feeling you get when you&apos;re shook awake in mid-dream? You were teetering on the ledge of a building, or maybe trying to free a butterfly from a spider web while wearing cricket gloves? Perhaps you&apos;re running late for a train and your short cut takes you through a bad part of town, you re being followed but the ever changing reflection in the shop window is a younger you, a healthier person with a better hairstyle. It&apos;s an anxiety thing, an off-kilter almost world, best summed up on the soundtrack for Blue Velvet, David Lynch&apos;s 1986 film that nods somnambulantly to the shadowy netherworld of film noir. Oedipal fantasies, finding a severed ear on your way home, voyeurism, crime and retribution, violence; they&apos;re all there in abundance in the movie, a rotten sleazy commercialism set off against a set of strange situations that the edge of the seat is never far away from. And what soundtrack would suit such an experience? Of course a mix of orchestral pieces from composer and conductor Angelo Badalamenti inspired by Shoshtakovich&apos;s 15th Symphony (which rumour has it Lynch played onset to create the &apos;mood&apos;) mixed up with trashy Hammond-led boogie and overblown baroque pop from Roy Orbison and Ketty Lester, suitable for any dive&apos;s jukebox. That awkward mix plays itself out in Isabella Rossellini as Dorothy&apos;s rendition of the song &apos;Blue Velvet&apos; that melds beautifully and indeed hauntingly into &apos;Blue Star&apos;, a broken piece of vintage pop. Similarly, the track &apos;Going Down To Lincoln&apos; with its narrative audio shtick takes all of the previously-mused elements to create a perfectly disjointed travelogue. The soundtrack album starts with Bernard Hermann-styled Hitchcock-esque strings and violin slashes, which dally before deconstructing the themes and motifs into a disturbing procession that climaxes with Julee Cruise&apos;s funereal &apos;Mysteries Of Love&apos;, a fittingly titled epilogue to an epic that concludes with the hero&apos;s true love&apos;s reality of a simplistic birdsong dream from earlier in the film. It&apos;s a cyclical trip that feeds directly back to the beginning and, yes, there &apos; that severed ear again, now ant infested laying on the ground, proving that dreams become real, or is it reality that becomes a dream?
