INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY No 1. The Dream of the Brokenhearted Video by David Lynch David Lynch is getting too prolific for his own good. If he slowed down occasionally to think about what he was doing he might produce fewer . grand follies like Dune and Wild At Heart and more concise, genuinely disturbing stuff like this. It's nothing new of course — most of the music comes from the Julee Cruise album, the opening scene features the stars of Wild At Heart and the dream theme was introduced in Twin Peaks. It's ostensibly based on footage of Cruise singing on and suspended above stage in front of an unseen audience. But the only way of making sense of the whole thing is as a dream, although whose dream it is remains eerily unclear. | don’t want to spoil all your fun, so suffice it so say that there's a breathtaking new song featuring Cruise singing over what sounds like a World War Two air raid siren, a scene with what looks like a giant skinned deer dancing on its hind legs, and the reappearance of the dwarf from Special Agent Cooper’s red drapes dream. See it for the vicarious thrill of having someone else’s childhood demons at the mercy of your remote control. MATTHEW HYLAND
