Massive Music Compilation : More Music From The X Files
During the
promotion of I Want To Believe
and its excellent sountrack, Mark Snow and Frank Spotnitz announced
that this long-awaited dream of fans, another release with Snow's music
for XF, was in the works, and that it might be released as soon as the
end of 2008! That's right, no more bootleg audio VHS/DVD-rips; without
the dialogue, without the sound effects, and with a good CD quality!
This absolutely awesome news also suggests that Mark Snow and his
(original?) team will have to sit through some 202 hours of television
to choose material from! Can we hope for more than one CD for this "Massive
Music Compilation"?...
Before this incredible task, I have compiled a series of passages, melodies, leitmotifs and in general memorable scenes from XF that crave for a commercial release. This list is in no way complete; it contains the most noticeable pieces of music and would have to be completed with more atmospheric 'background' music that makes XF's musical trademark in order to make a full release. It is also more complete for the Vancouver era than the following. I hope this might be useful to Mr. Snow, if he is ever watching. If he's not and things from this list are left out, then we will know what to ask for for a third XF release!
If you want to help building this list, do not hesitate to contact me! (or Mark Snow for that matter...)
Edit Mar-15-2009: La La Land Records, who recently brought us some MillenniuM music, is indeed working on this! A 4 CD set, with music from around 40-60 episodes, to be released around September, 2009.
