The music of Mark Snow helped make The X-Files one of the most engaging, remarkable shows in television history, yet it is easy to overlook the importance of the show's consistently amazing weekly score, what with all of the intrigues and dark mysteries challenging Agents Mulder and Scully. With this album, one gets the chance to concentrate on the music in and of itself, albeit laced with numerous bits of dialogue, and the true power of Snow's genius is impossible to dismiss or ignore. I'm quite out of my element when it comes to discussing this music; I suppose it is best classified as electronic music with all sorts of funky nuances I won't even attempt to describe because nothing I could say would truly do them justice. These tracks are actual pieces used in The X-Files over the course of its first two seasons, and so it should come as no real surprise that their exceptional ethereal quality easily transports one's imagination into the cryptic world haunted by the indefatigable Agent Mulder and his faithful friend and loyal partner Agent Scully. This album is amazingly evocative of the television show I and so many others became much more than addicted to. Proof of my addiction is the fact I bought this album; generally, I dislike music without singing. This, however, is much more than a musical score; it is undeniably X-Files in its very nature, and as such I really and truly enjoy listening to it. It's not something I pop in the CD player on a regular basis, but it is just what the doctor ordered when I am in a certain dark yet inquisitive mood and could well serve as excellent music to study by. You don't even have to listen to this album; all you have to do is sit back, relax, and let Mark Snow's musical score transport you on a trip of imagination colored by haunting, cosmic dissonance to a world where truth is no longer out there somewhere but is instead inside your very head.

I've had my copy of this album almost since the day it came out.... It has been in heavy rotation on my hi-fi ever since, and I am now waiting for a second such album from Mark Snow.
The music is intense, atmospheric, and evocative of the show. I even remember which music goes with which scene, which might not be particularly surprising given that I'm an obsessive X-Phile with a complete collection of the show. (I programmed my VCR to tape episodes off the air for all nine seasons. I'm collecting the DVD boxed sets as well. And from time to time, I still watch and enjoy my favorites.)
Play this album when you're feeling paranoid. Play it when you're feeling spooked, or when you're feeling Spooky.
Play it late at night, when it's dark and you're all alone and you can't sleep. Play it loud so the bass seems oppressive, so the clanking percussion sounds like the Syndicate is on your heels, so those strange screaming voices in the mix make you look around to see where the monster is hiding.
Play it when you want to remember the difference between radiant, unchanging Memory and mere false History; what it is to live with a fragile faith built on the vague ether of a memory from an experience you can neither prove nor explain; that They only have one policy, Deny Everything.
About the only flaw in this album, if I can call it a flaw, is that for some reason the track titles are in Latin. I had to work with my father's old Latin-English pocket dictionary to translate them. (In the process I found a spelling mistake: the word for "merchandise" should be "mercatura", not "mercutura".)
But the word "kyrie", the title of the last track, drove me crazy for a while, until I remembered it is actually Greek. How appropriate, for The X-Files.

I was an avid fan of the earlier seasons of the X-Files and bought this CD because I love the music. Almost every track on this CD has dialogue from the show dubbed over it. What gives? A soundtrack is suppose to let you enjoy the music out of context. If I want to hear the music with dialogue added, I can just watch the show. I give this 2 stars because even though the music is excellent, I don't like being forced to hear Mulder and Scully talk over it.

Sorry, but I can't get into this. The music is alright but nearly every song has voices in the background. I guess this was supposed to be considered part of it . If I knew I wouldn't have bought this. These are presumably lines used in the shows, I just don't see how it goes with the music.
