[quote]Floating into the Night is the debut album by dream pop artist Julee Cruise, released in 1989. The album was produced and all songs were written by film director, David Lynch, and composer, Angelo Badalamenti. Lynch wrote the lyrics to Badalamenti's music. Two singles were released from the album, "Falling" and "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart", which were also both featured in Lynch's television series, Twin Peaks. The instrumental version of "Falling" was used as the theme to the series.
The track, "Mysteries of Love", was prominently featured in Lynch's 1986 cult film, Blue Velvet. In addition to the two singles, a number of other tracks from the album appeared in Twin Peaks as well, including "Into the Night", "The Nightingale", and "The World Spins". "The World Spins" was also featured on the soundtrack to the 2003 Robert Altman film, The Company.
Fellow artist Moby has commented that the album is one of his all-time favorites and collaborated with Julee Cruise on later works.
Grabbing it now! I won't be around to post about it until after Christmas, though.
I was going to listen to the whole cd before I posted here, but I just had to comment on the striking similarities between the end of "I Remember" and Hanson's masterpiece "Mmm Bop".
Oh yeah and the cd's pretty cool so far. I like the mix of 80s sounding electronic pop, relaxing vocals and occassional jazzy moments.
I really like the Twin Peaks theme, so I'll probably like this as well! I'll listen to it tomorrow. :cool: Thanks, Omni.
I love listening to this album right before I go to bed. It's severely underrated.
I've just started listening to the album, and it's wonderful. And I agree with you Omni, it's something I'd love to listen to before bed, or while going to bed.
Wait, I forgot, are we allowed to post our album of the week as well?
I really like it, and it's actually what I needed right now after many, many busy days. It's a fabulous album to relax to. It was neat to hear vocals on "Falling" after listening to the instrumental version so many times. "I Remember" is fantastic; the saxophone is great and I love when it breaks into that dissonant part. The haunting melody and ambience in "Into The Night" is beautiful. I can tell I'll be listening to this lots!
Very good choice, Omni. Great stuff!
The element that originally made me notice this album was the voice of Julee Cruise. Her approach and style just make it really stand out to me.
I also really like the couple of parts on the album where some shocking interlude part comes in. The songs all have the feel of a soundtrack, although only some of them ever appeared in David Lynch's work.
"Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" is probably my favorite song on the entire album.
