Music of Twin Peaks

The American TV series Twin Peaks spawned three soundtrack albums: one inspired by the series, one for the prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and one focusing on music from Season Two but also including tracks used in the pilot, Season One, and the prequel film. Starting in March, 2011, previously unreleased and unused tracks began appearing on davidlynch.com for purchase.
