A Return to Regular Releases - Starting with Lynch's Dreamlike Industrial Symphony No. 1

We're thrilled to announce our return to a more consistent release schedule. We understand the passion of film enthusiasts who seek out rare and significant works, and we're committed to making these treasures available once again. Today, we're especially excited to kick off this new chapter with a remarkable piece of avant-garde cinema: David Lynch's Industrial Symphony No. 1.

Originally performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1989, Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted stands as one of Lynch's most experimental and mesmerizing works. This haunting performance piece features longtime Lynch collaborator Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern in the opening sequence, before giving way to a surreal dreamscape starring Julee Cruise, floating against a backdrop of industrial machinery and ethereal lighting.

The symphony combines Lynch's signature otherworldly atmosphere with the haunting musical compositions of Angelo Badalamenti, creating an unforgettable audio-visual experience. Cruise, suspended high above the stage, delivers ethereal performances of songs including "Up in Flames" and "Into the Night," while mechanical imagery, dream logic, and Lynch's distinctive visual style merge into a singular theatrical event.

The moody lighting, intricate set design, and every nuance of Badalamenti's score can now be experienced in pristine quality. For Lynch completists and avant-garde performance enthusiasts alike, this release offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of experimental theater history.

Industrial Symphony No. 1 represents a unique intersection of music, theater, and cinema that could only come from the mind of David Lynch. We're proud to make this vital piece of Lynch's artistic legacy available to collectors and new audiences alike.

Look for more announcements in the coming weeks as we continue to expand our catalog of rare and essential films.
