Angelo Badalamenti was the perfect person to compose the music for the Twin Peaks soundtrack after working with director David Lynch a year earlier on the Julee Cruise "Floating into the Night" album (David Lynch wrote the lyrics and Angelo Badalamenti wrote the music.) Just like the Julee Cruise album, this soundtrack was dark in many places and surreal in most places. Badalamenti is like the modern day Bernard Herrmann. I think the 'Twin Peaks' soundtrack is in the same league as Herrmann's 'Psycho' soundtrack.... they both create the atmosphere and mood of the movie/TV series they were written for. No TV series will ever have a director in the class of David Lynch and a composer as good as Angelo Badalamenti working together again... never, ever! These guys were television's Twin Peaks.
