The most dreamy, surreal album I've ever heard - dazzling.......2006-09-27

Given that David Lynch is my favorite director, it's really no surprise that I love Julee Cruise's FLOATING INTO THE NIGHT. The world was introduced to Cruise when she sang "Mysteries of Love" at the end of Lynch's critically-acclaimed masterpiece BLUE VELVET, released in 1986. That song is on Cruise's debut; it's probably the weakest of the songs contained in the album. That's good news, though, because "Mysteries of Love" is a pretty fine song. It pales in comparison, however, to the new material Cruise recorded for FLOATING INTO THE NIGHT - 9 utterly delightful compositions that redefine the word "dreamy".

Let me attempt to describe the album to someone who's never heard any of Cruise's songs. Imagine those old laid-back jukebox tunes from the 1950s. Take those tunes and add a dash of shadiness, then inject that mixture with a narcotic. That's what Cruise's songs sound like. Despite the album cover's depiction of a naked woman floating off into the darkness, the songs on FLOATING INTO THE NIGHT glitter like a case of diamonds. True, they're dark; but they're dark in the same soothing way that sleep is dark. Indeed, the songs on FLOATING INTO THE NIGHT are like dreams converted to music. Take "I Remember", for example. The song rolls along tranquilly at its beginning, but around the midsection it suddenly circles around like a merry-go-round - an eerie surprise that only lasts long enough to throw us off guard before the song metamorphosises back into a 50's rock number. But honestly, what else would you expect from David Lynch, one of the most controversial directors in the film industry? Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, the immensely talented composer who has worked with Lynch on nearly all of his productions, produced the album. Lynch wrote the lyrics for the songs (which are surreally beautiful and make the bold decision not to rhyme), while Badalamenti wrote the wonderful music. It's filled with tight drumming, strong bass, and anything else you'd expect from the dream pop of the late-1950s and 1960s.

Not surprisingly, most of the album's fans are also fans of David Lynch's work - in particular, TWIN PEAKS, Lynch's brilliant TV series about a mysterious town in Washington and its wacky inhabitants. Julee Cruise actually appeared on TWIN PEAKS in a few episodes to sing some of the songs on this album, namely the be-boppin' "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart", the unnervingly mysterious "Into the Night", and "The Nightingale". The song will attract the most attention from PEAKS fans is "Falling", an instrumental version of which wound up becoming the show's instantly-recognizable theme song; the album version of the song also wound up in the show's second season.

One of my favorite songs on the album is "The Swan", a song with an opening like something straight out of a nightmare. There's an eerie calm through the rest of the song as well, but it gradually becomes more upbeat; still, there's something unpredictable and unnatural about the melody, the lyrics, Cruise's singing - the whole song. It's a very unusual composition that disturbs me - and impresses me - every time I hear it.

I simply love this album. I would call it an essential album. If you don't own it, then I would most certainly recommend that you correct that error and give it a spin in your CD player of choice. David Lynch, Angelo Badalamenti, and especially the wonderful Ms. Julee Cruise really hit it big with this dazzling masterpiece. If ever there was an album more surreal or dreamy, I can't imagine what it was like. This is a gorgeous record. Purchase it and dream on.

The Ultimate Dream Music CD!.......2006-02-19

Twin Peaks may be gone and forgotten by many but the collaboration between singer Julee Cruise composer Angelo Badlamenti and writer David Lynch will live forever as a timeless collection of surreally beautiful songs.Filled with romantic longing,Cruise's haunting voice and Badlamenti's atmospheric music and completely avoiding trip hop electronic posturing for pure 50's dream music.If you're a musiclover this is as good as it gets for romantic dream music.After owning this cd for 15 years it still hasn't lost it's ability to cast a magical spell over anyone who hears it.

HEAVEN.......2005-10-23

JULEE'S VOICE IS LIKE BEING KISSED SOFTLY OVER & OVER BY ONE THOUSAND ANGELS WHILE LYING ON A SMOOTH BED OV SILK FLOATING ENDLESSLY THROUGH THE CLOUDS UNTIL THEE END OV TIME.. AHHHHHHHHHHHH..

songbirds.......2005-09-24

quite simply, if you are a fan of Twin Peaks, then you need this album. it's lovely nighttime music that is spooky and serenely beautiful with flourishes of jazz and new age. Julie's vocals are sweet and tender and float right over the music. you can't help but think of scenes from the Twin Peaks television series when you play this cd at home. everytime i hear it, it makes me want to break out my old vhs box set, make some coffee and cherry pie, and watch the whole series from start to finish.

Incredible.......2006-02-14

I am listening to this CD now after several months of it being put away. It is an amazing combination. I purchased the CD when it came out and never thought that the combination would work. Tim Booth has such and incredible voice that is so light it almost glows. Angelo Badalmenti, a composer from Twin Peaks, has such a distinctive sound that is somewhat dark. It totally works on this CD, however, and the result is simply incredible. I wish that they had done more music together. The name of the band is completely perfect and the CD is not far behind in it's perfection.

Very original and unique...Tim Booth is a gem music lover's must find..........2006-01-26

Rock n Roll, dance music, atmosphere music, soulfull singing, and heartfelt writing...would you expect any less from Tim Booth (lead singer of James: listen to albums Laid and Whiplash). It's spiritual, melodic, and quite moving, what else is there to say about an album of music...it defies genre and time...it won't ever leave your cd player for long, that much, i promise...

Fabulous CD!!.......2001-06-29

Bought this CD last year & still listen to it regularly - will always be one of my favorites. This music will move you and amaze you.

A partnership made in..?.......2001-05-07

Tim Booth of James, and Angelo Badalamenti, frequent composer for David Lynch films, team up here in an album that is simulatenously experimental and accesible. "Pop sensibility" flows together, as these two musicians, so much alike in tone and flavor, create some really moving music. Sometimes a bit moody, sometimes a miss here or there, I get the feeling that some of the stronger songs aren't hit/radio friendly simply because they're too literate (or depressing..)

Tim is at his peak, with Angelo!.......2000-11-11

This is a must for any James fan. I heard it the first time, and fell in love. My personal favorite on the album is "Fall In Love With Me".

This has the haunting, smooth tunes one would expect from Badalamenti, and the great voice from Booth. They are a great team. "Dance of the Bad Angels" and "Life Gets Better" are also tunetastic! Buy this and you will not be sorry!!
