Just as long as it is lighter on the Season 6-9 stuff. I was not really a fan of any of the tunes from those. Just seemed to sample Fight the Future a bunch.
I disagree. There's some great stuff in those last seasons.
Agreed. Some of the best stuff is from 6-9 and I love the more tonal and fully orchestrated sound that he uses during those seasons.

I'll admit: part of me wishes that LaLa had made Volume 1 all about seasons 1-3, and Volume 2 about seasons 4-6, and that Volume 3 would cover seasons 7-9 - all at four discs (heck, I'll take more than that).
There are unquestionable shifts in musical palate as the show goes on, and I think it would have made for more cohesive listening experiences if the CDs had just covered blocks of seasons, especially for a volume covering the first three seasons, which were more consistently atonal and atmospheric and during which Snow didn't do as much symphonic flexing as he would later. As it stands, we have lots of moody, atmospheric cues mixed in with increasingly symphonic, horn-driven stuff as the CDs progress and I'll admit, like some others, that Discs 3 and 4 from each existing set don't get as much playtime for me.
Which is funny, because while watching the show as it aired, I used to delight in the growing variety of scores that Snow would provide as the show's tone careened more wildly from light episodes to more grounded MOTW episodes. But now, I find myself liking the early, simple stuff more. Go figure.
Of course, all of this is firstwordproblem of the highest order. This is what iTunes invented the playlist feature for, right?
Bring on Volume 3, no matter the configuration! (And yes, Nowhere Man would be awesome, too.)

There's probably a very specific business reason why they didn't do this. If they did, then only the fans of 1-3 would buy that album, fans of 4-6 would buy that, and 7-9 would buy that one. Why do that when you can spread them out, and people would then buy all of them to get a bit of what they want on each? Just the economics of doing business.

MV, can you shed any light on this quote I found on the wikipedia page for the episode El Mundo Gira?
Originally, composer Mark Snow created a score that was deemed too "serious" by Carter; thus, Snow was forced to replace his entire score with a new one.
