He has also worked on the soundtrack for the video game Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy in North America). Other projects he has worked in include the television film Witch Hunt, and the films Naked in New York, The City of Lost Children, A Very Long Engagement, The Wicker Man, Dark Water and Secretary. Other Lynch projects he worked on include the movies Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive (where he has a small role as a gangster with a finicky taste for espresso), and Rabbits as well as the television shows On the Air and Hotel Room. This film was the first of what would become a career-long collaborative relationship spanning television and film. Lynch's request to the composer was for the score to be 'like Shostakovich, be very Russian, but make it the most beautiful thing but make it dark and a little bit scary.' Badalamenti appears in Blue Velvet as the piano player in the club where Rossellini's character performs. Badalamenti composed the score for the film and served as music supervisor. Julee Cruise, who went on to work with Lynch and Badalamenti on other projects, performed the vocals for the track. In its place, Badalamenti and Lynch collaborated to write 'Mysteries of Love' using lyrics Lynch wrote and Badalamenti's music. Inspired by This Mortal Coil's recent cover of Tim Buckley's 'Song to the Siren', Lynch had wanted Rossellini to sing her own version, but was unable to secure the rights. Badalamenti scored films such as Gordon's War, and Law and Disorder, but his break came when he was brought in to be Isabella Rossellini's singing coach for the song 'Blue Velvet' in David Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet.
