Welcome to Twin Peaks!

2017-03-07 by Rowan5215 EMERITUS | 32 Comments
Twin Peaks fans will have more to look forward to than the long-dreamed-of Season 3 on May 21st. Indie Rock Magazine has announced a series of 16 compilations inspired by the show's return, consisting of around 200 original songs in total, beginning on the same date that the new season arrives. Three of these volumes are "dedicated to abstract hip-hop, instrumental hip-hop and underground rap", whilst the project overall features "almost 200 musicians and bands from 35 countries in the fields of experimental/ambient music, electronica/IDM, noise, post-rock, indie pop/folk and so on".
Five tracks from the hip-hop section of the project have been released as a teaser. Hear the Welcome to Twin Peaks E.P. and read the story of the project's genesis here: https://indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-twin-peaks-ep

for anyone wanting a breakdown - the purely instrumental tracks (1, 3 and 5) are all jams. 3 especially sounds like if the Avalanches remixed Coop's dream from Episode 3, it's friggin dope. the other two are significantly weaker, and I'm guessing that the actual rapping will not be a strong point in this project

i feel like the show has been so hyped by the fans on sput like you rowan, that there's no chance it'll live up to expectations haha.

It probably won't. It's a great show but it's nothing as instantly mindblowing as people say. There's a lot to it and it'll be more of a slowburning wooooaaahh that was pretty good

it's pretty much the first example of actually really good TV (this was like five years before the Sopranos) so we hype it up a bit, but also once you get sucked in there's literally no experience that's like it, nothing's even close

Fripp, you have to check out the original series, at least into the 2nd season when the initial mystery is solved. Unfortunately, the show started to drift after that, but up until that point, it was a totally original series.

I don't know, Tom, I hated the finale. I'm actually hoping the new series does something to clean it up.

I agree. I have a soft spot for Twin Peaks because it was filmed about 45 minutes from my house, but its reputation has gotten blown out of proportion over the years imo.

It's not instantly mind blowing, it's gradually mind blowing

Also it's reputation has not gotten blown out of proportion, it literally defined every generation of crime drama to follow.

Without twin peaks none of that shit would exist.

Without twin peaks none of that shit would exist [2] and not only crime drama either, it pretty much helped define surrealism, black comedy and horror in TV from the day it was released until now really

The adults were so mad when it ended, so I didn't see it for years. But it is a pretty fantastic show.

The Cooper-Truman bromance is so fucking adorable.

I do of course expect them to fuck it all up in S3.
