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

I like it a lot; of course, there isn't a lot of music I don't like. If you're an X-Files freak, it's good, and, if you're not, you still might like it.

This is a recording that will remind fans of the show of specific images, sounds, and emotions from the show. Most of the music is creepy, pounding drum tracks interdispersed with soothing synth-string music (like the transition from Ubseqyu to Otium). This is not an entirely relaxing journey, as it makes you alternate from anxiety to calm and back.
There is interspersed dialogue within and book-ending tracks, which for the most part are relatively well-known lines and not dialogue ... Read More

Let me start by saying that I adore this CD. Mark Snow has a true talent for creating music with enigmatic undercurrents, that intuitive sensation that there is SOMETHING MORE, something on another level that you can FEEL, but not really DEFINE. I'm a technical/ marketing writer, and I often slide this CD into my computer, clamp on my headphones, and immerse myself in reliving the X-Files experience. I detach from my workplace surroundings, and the writer's block goes away. As the words flow, my mind ... Read More

I was searching for some creepy Halloween music and decided to pick this up. This was after I was completely disappointed in the recommendations I had gotten for Midnight Syndicate's albums. Avoid those. Seriously.
This disc conveys such great moods and emotional depth. Warmth seems to come out at you at the oddest moments like the traces of humanity trapped in the conspiracy of lies. This was a perfect companion to the show but is more interesting as a stand alone piece of music.

I enjoy the music of the x files, it's very moody and atmospheric, but i for one could have done without the dialogue in most of the songs, to me it doesn't enhance the listening experience. I think it kinda takes away from the music, I mean it's one thing to have seperate tracks of dialogue to go along with the album but to have voice overs over the music? You can watch the show for that. Overall the music is excellent but be prepared for it to be interupted by samples of dialogue through most of the ... Read More
