Best known for her hit ‘Falling’, a vocal version of the iconic Twin Peaks theme song, and her appearances in the show itself, Julee Cruise also contributed to many other musical projects and appeared on stage in several musical and stage revues throughout a lengthy career. Her name, though, will forever be associated with Twin Peaks and its creator David Lynch, who co-wrote and produced these two albums of shimmering, glacial pop with the composer Angelo Badalamenti.

Oozing a charm and elegance that takes in everything from 50s kitsch and lounge jazz to modern classical, and produced with an eccentric flair, the debut ‘Floating Into The Night’ is a masterpiece of ethereal pop, overflowing with mood pieces and ambient atmospheres – confusing to radio DJs and retail outlets in 1989, it remains uncategorisable and yet instantly recognisable today. Four years later, ‘The Voice Of Love’ span off of the Twin Peaks film Fire Walk With Me, featuring songs included both there and in Lynch’s classic Wild At Heart. Very much a companion piece to the debut album, the recordings again showcase both Badalamenti’s wonderful compositions and Cruise’s remarkable, hazy vocals. Paired together here, and best heard in sequence, we present both albums, alongside the rare and wonderful original demo of ‘Falling’, a selection of remixes of the ‘Rockin’ Back Inside My Heart’ single and the non-album track ‘Summer Kisses, Winter Tears’, taken from the Wim Wenders’ film Until The End Of The World.

Stylishly presented, and complete with an insightful sleevenote essay, ‘Fall_Float_Love’ demands a long overdue rediscovery of both Julee herself, who sadly passed away in 2022, and of the adventures in pop music of the recently departed David Lynch.
