About the Artist

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return to star in the feature-film adaptation of the most acclaimed and controversial television series in history. This much can be revealed... Mulder (Duchovny) continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully (Anderson), the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder's pursuits. The X-Files: I Want To Believe features an all-star cast which, in addition to David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, includes Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly and rapper Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner. Directed by X-Files creator, Chris Carter, the film features a screenplay by Carter and Frank Spotnitz.

Product Description

"Dying To Live" written and performed by Xzibit on the new soundtrack! The movie's evocative music (score) is by long time X-Files composer, Mark Snow. In addition to the score, the soundtrack has three additional tracks: Xzibit's "Dying To Live," "Broken" by hip-hop's Unkle and the "X-Files Theme," remixed by Unkle.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Snow Job A Good Thing, July 27, 2008

Mark Snow succeeds again with another magnificent score--perhaps the best part of the film it accompanies. This album is a haunting, beautiful journey into the creepy world of The X Files--though it's also a delightfully moody piece that can make even the hottest Summer day feel like Fall. Snow's collaboration with UNKLE on two tracks is excellent and exceedingly worthy of inclusion. The only weak track is the ridiculous Xzibit song--skip it. This is a welcome addition to the Mark Snow canon of Chris Carter productions--the "X Files" TV series score, the first film, "Fight the Future" and the brilliant, macabre spinoff, "Millennium." Get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Intriguing, Intelligent Film Score, August 5, 2008

This review is from: The X-Files: I Want to Believe - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Original "The X-Files" television composer Mark Snow returns with a most impressive film score for the second "X-Files" film that is among the finest I have heard so far from this year. Snow offers an elegant mixture of 19th Century Romantic music coupled with spirited interludes in techno pop and almost hip hop melodies. Indeed, Snow's score may be the best thing about this film aside from the excellent screen chemistry between actors Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. Diehard fans of the original television series and those seeking an excellent contemporary film score will definitely want to add this CD to their collections. The soundtrack includes several original songs heard during the film and its final credits.

This review is from: The X-Files: I Want to Believe - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is a fantastic cd, it's just like being at a concert! The music is rich and flows well, this cd helps me relax on the drive home from work. The 3rd to last track is a beautiful rendition of the theme and the 2nd to last track is that great song from when the credits were rolling and it pans out to the boat and the island. I was amazed at how many people walked out of the theater before they got to see that part. That was the best part! The last song is not of my taste and now I see why it wasn't featured in the movie. Overall a must have cd, 4.9 stars out of 5 (because of that last song).
