Released on September 12, 1989, Julee Cruise's debut album "Floating Into The Night" is a David Lynch project that serves as an intro/companion to the original run of the Twin Peaks TV series which would premiere several months later on April 8, 1990. Produced by Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, with lyrics by Lynch and music by Badalamenti, the album includes five songs that would feature in the series.
An instrumental version of the opening track "Falling" would become the Twin Peaks theme. The other tracks used in the series are "The Nightingale", "Into The Night", "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart", and "The World Spins".
Here's Julee performing "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart". Both clips are said to be from 1989, but the Twin Peaks pilot is mentioned in the intro to the second clip
"JULEE CRUISE: Floating Into The Night (Warner Bros.) This new age chantoozy is no mushmelon; her sentimental schlock and quasiclassical quietude are at the forefront of the latest hip convolutions. And when admirers claims she sounds best in a dark room at three in the morning, I wonder whether she puts them to sleep too. B MINUS"
