Product Description

As the new season of the X-Files gets underway, comes this album of Mark Snow's original music from the series. Incorporating the show's signature theme as well as vocal cameos from Agents Scully and Mulder (stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson), Assistant Director Skinner, Cancer Man and other cast members, the album seamlessly weaves together Snow's compositions with fragments of original dialogue. Evolving from a cult phenomenon, the show is now viewed by 16 million people each week. [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]

Amazon.com

This collection of crisp electronic music mixed with bits of character dialogue will well please X-Files fans; those unfamiliar with the long-running sci-fi show have a chance to discover just how well an intensely eerie television score can stand on its own. Soundtrack master Mark Snow has done other scores for TV, but the X-Files is his most outstanding work. Right off the bat this CD transports you into the world of agents Mulder and Scully and the supernatural or extraterrestrial mysteries they uncover. The haunting, melodious whistle theme; the slow-moving walls of melancholy electronica; the ominous, urgent rhythms written for action scenes all recall the dark, spooky atmosphere that the X-Files program has so expertly created and maintained. There's also an ocean of dialogue to explore here, which for some may be distracting, but for others will bring back the suspenseful and sometimes horrific images from particular episodes. Overall, the dialogue is presented in a subdued enough way that it doesn't stand out oddly and oftentimes just reinforces the creepy intrigue that is the show's most wonderful quality. Recommended. --Karen Karleski

A "SPOOKY" GLOW IN THE DARK VINYL LP COLLECTABLE!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

This brand new vinyl lp is a ghostly white that shimmers an in condescend glow in the dark when exposed to a small sliver of SOFT LIGHT in any room. Somewhat of a portal to THE STARLIGHT looking eerie & otherworldly as you may even see a few of THE WALK INS drifting through like a SPOOKY ghost as pictured on the records label imprint. X-Files fans need this especially now since so many truths were revealed in season 11. This may be the CONDUIT vessel to channel season 12 into creation or a feature film. WE STILL BELIEVE!!!

I wanted more...

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2001

As an avid fan of the X Files, I figured I really needed to own this cd. I'm glad I bought it, but I have a few issues with it. For one thing, I'm not sure about the continuity. In most cases it plays from track to track with no pauses, so it seems to flow together. However, the dialogue over the tracks doesn't seem to have any logical order to it in my opinion. It all seems a bit random. There are pieces of Duane Barry talking, pieces of Scully referring to her abduction - which do fit together, but not quite in the way I would have liked to hear. I also just wanted MORE of something the whole time I listened...I'm not sure of what, but something was lacking. I am going to buy the movie soundtrack and see if that has more of what I was looking for.
For the most part I was very happy with the cd. I enjoy the dialogue over the music, since it is inseparable from the show itself and I would never want it to be separated. For all you classical musicians out there, I heard very heavy influences from Joseph Schwantner, which I had never really noticed just from watching the show - that was interesting.
All in all, I recommend this cd to anyone who is a serious X Phile. It's kind of neat to hear the music without the images on the screen.

Absolutely the most listened to soundtrack in my collection. It’s moody with echoes of the cast. I enjoyed it very much. It’s basically a sum up of the first couple of seasons. Hoping they make more!! Well worth it if your a fan of the show.

ATTENTION ALL X-PHILES! THIS IS THE CD FOR YOU. THE HAUNTING MELODIES THAT DOCUMENT EACH EPISODE ARE INTERSPERSED HERE WITH CHARACTER DIALOGUE, MAKING THIS ONE TERRIFIC DISC. THIS CD FAR OUTDISTANCES "SONGS IN THE KEY OF X" - WHICH WHILE IT CONTAINS GOOD SONGS,HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SHOW. ON THE OTHER HAND " THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT" IS EVERYTHING THE SHOW IS. MYSTERIOUS, HAUNTING, DEEP, TOUCHING, AND AT TIMES,A LITTLE, WELL -SPOOKY. IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT, DON'T WAIT. POP THIS BABY INTO THE STEREO, SIT BACK AND ENJOY. TRUST ME.

Wow! Much better than the movie score!

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 1998

Verified Purchase

I bought this after having listened ad nauseum to both pop soundtracks (movie and series), as well as the movie score CD. Amazon.com's recommendations feature brought my attention to this CD and am I ever glad! It is the best of Mark Snow's spooky music, with an inspired mix of very very brief bits of dialogue interspersed, like Duane Barry screaming "THEY DRILLED HOLES IN MY TEETH!" sort of woven into some of the music. Very eerie; makes you want to watch the show right then and there

Seem like watching X-Files episode in audio version. Music is absorbing and taken from background soundtrack of episodes. Cool.

Very good compilation of soundtracks from the excellent series. I liked this one better than another x-files music cd which I had purchased before. Only thing is the talking in between tracks, may not be to everyone's taste, but I still liked the tracks. CD in good condition and sent within the time specified.
