Jay 37,367 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Here's a link where Mark Snow talks about it: http://www.beyondthesea.it/news.asp?id=842 And here's what MV from LLL has to say about it: Quote Let me shed a little truth and light on the subject matter now that the "cat is out of the bag." Yes, we are doing a 4 disc set of music from the immortal X-Files. Its still a work in progress. It will cover all 9 seasons and will more than likely feature music from 40 to 60 different episodes. The best cues... plain and simple just like we did with Millennium. There will be no dialog on it. Its expected to be out in August... maybe September, but don't hold your breath. A project like this takes a lot of time to work on so please be patient. We have a plethora of titles coming out before this one so there is a lot of work ahead for us. So now that the truth is out there have fun speculating on our approach! MV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,692 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Might give it a go - depends how much they want for a 4-CD set.I've got an X-Files album with dialogue over some tracks, and it's a nice background listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,367 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm excited about the part in the press release where MV says that they have a "plethora" of titles coming out between now and Aug/Sep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tharpdevenport 4 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Actually, LLLR confirmed it in an FSM thread a couple months or so back. There is also more Snow stuff in the works. Right now it's the Year of Horner for CDs, but later this year it'll be the Year of Snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 According to LaLaLand's message board the set has been pushed back to next summer, possibly for next year's Comic-Con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo 54 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've got an X-Files album with dialogue over some tracks, and it's a nice background listen.I listened to the 30 minute (dialogue free) track from the Snow Files album on my way to work today. Too bad I'll have to wait until next year to hear more than what's already out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope La-La hasn't forgotten about Farscape with all these other TV releases they're doing, I'm waiting anxiously to see if there will be a Volume 4.

Bryant Burnette 654 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Whenever they put it out, they'll sell me one of those ... assuming it's not ridiculously expensive.I still need to buy that 2-disc Millennium set, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Hoyt 13 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'll probably get it. I'll have to listen to the albums I have again. I remember liking the music but that was when I was really into the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo 54 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm curious for those that are interested in this release, what cues do you hope would be included?As for myself Scully's Theme (as it has been called), the end cue (before the credits) to Hollywood AD, and the final cue from the Truth immediately spring to mind.

nightscape94 965 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Love the X-Files show, and both films, devoted fan, but the show music is not something I would run out and get and then listen to over and over.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 This is now tentatively scheduled for October 2010, after being pushed back from its original (revised) date of July 20th 2010.FYI, there's a thread on FSM where you can request cues or episodes to be included:http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=66985&forumID=1&archive=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Quote 3000 units still planned for October, but that all depends on Mr Snow, Mr Carter and of course, getting the cds in perfect order. MV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 3000? Surely this is going to sell out in no time? Oh, well, that increases the chances for a volume 2, I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yea I was surprised to see 3,000 units as well. Though, being 4CDs and probably costing $60 or more, perhaps it won't sell THAT quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tharpdevenport 4 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 The 4CD Bernstein Box cost about $60 because it was real musicians -- and that equals big re-use fees, while "The X-Files" scores are almsot exclusively synth, with few live players.I imagine a lavish booklet will be included, so I'd price it around $40. I could be wrong, but that's where I stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 I was close... Quote We are aiming for $50 MV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,692 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hmm, $50 is about £35. I think I may have to wait to hear some samples (or longer *ahem*) for that sort of beast.I'm slowly watching season 1 and it's all very early 90s sounding synth, but I think the set is starting at later seasons, so we'll have to see.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Good for insomniacs I suppose. Seriously, those improvised X-Files scores got a little too much like background muzak at times. It almost felt like Chris Carter was afraid of having silence on the soundtrack so he told Mark Snow just to play whatever he wanted. The scores were always so bloody similar, pedal synthy strings with a few plinky plonky piano notes over the top. I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 It's no surprise. Snow tended to score most of the entire episode. With X Files' hour long episodes, I don't see how he would have the time to write all the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Interesting.The X-Files music was mostly composed by Snow himself, so there are very little re-use fees.Yet this is "only" a 4 CD set.The upcoming Ron Jones/TNG set has 14 CD's despite having been performed by a 40 + orchestra.
