Alright, I'm working on a song at the moment, where the aim is to make it a bit tween-peaky.

This is the first version of it:

And this is the second version of it:

I'm a bit stuck deciding which is better atm. Will also gladly accept any other feedback regardless of the choice of preference.

The second one appears smoother to me. The instruments volume seems better balanced.
Being an amateur of Badalamenti's music, I'd say the bass could have more reverb... it seems too dry for me to evoke Twin Peaks's atmosphere...
Otherwise I find it really well done!

The first one transports the calm but moody atmopshere better whereas the first half of the second one is closer to the original. The track with this synthie sound is a bit to loud in the second one though and thus it distracts a lot from the groovy bass guitar track. After 1.30 I get a serious "stranger things" vibe If that was intended: Well done.
