Been off-line for a while, with work committments and my Mum's modem going screwy.
Anyway, I'm back. Angelo Badalamenti works a lot with David Lynch. When composers and directors can form long-lasting partnerships like that - instead of the composer being dragged in at the last moment - then it leads to better film music.
An example of the latter is Quincy Jones' score for McKenna's Gold. The producers realised that they had a dud on their hands and thought that a poppy-sounding score might bring in more younger people. Jones was brought in as a sort of musical band aid.
