I'll have more new stuff and personal favorite stuff, but wanted to separate these out as i feel they are absolutely critical. And there's nothing new here really. I've chimed in on these many times as have other. I would desperately hope that these would make the cut for Volume 4:

Memento Mori (a good representation of the episode, especially that hallway scene in the hospital at the end, but there's lots to love here)

Never Again (also a good representation of this episode, the tattoo scene, there's a contempo sounding tracking shot down a hallway, and all sorts of interesting stuff)

I know these episodes are close together in the running, but what can I say, Snow was on a major roll in season 4.

Deep Throat, the bar scene at the beginning. I know this is likely short and the producers probably feel it's a bit awkward. stick it in as an easter egg if need be, whatever it takes.

Talitha Cumi - Mulder searches the summer house for the stiletto

Redux II: Either the teaser, or later on with Mulder at Scully's bedside, or both. This is the main theme of the episode. Is there any chance Snow didn't write this? Of everything, I continue to be most perplexed by this omission.

Thanks for considering, and anything beyond this will just be gravy. Thanks again for being so generous with the X-music. I hope fans will reward you again with more strong sales. More strictly personal favorites to come!

We are gonna try and push some more season 1 stuff, even though Mr Snow does not think it's his strongest material due to the constraints of the technology at the time. Personally I love it!

Also, gonna see if we can license some 3rd party tracks to incorporate into the set for you completest. Fox okayed it, just need to get Mr Snow on board!

i would flip my lid for "secrets of the x-files" and "more secrets of the x-files" specials. as i have droned on about before. they certainly wouldn't take up a lot of disc space!

I also love that really early season 1 sound. By the second half he had already steered away from it, but those first 10 episodes or so, I just could eat up that dated synth with a big spoon

Please do! That first disk of Volume 3 you released was just amazing. I gave it way more play than any of the other three in the set combined!

Another suggestion thread? I swear we not only have one for Volume 4, but an all-encompassing one as well, on top of the others and threads where suggestions were made.

I'm surprised Thor has leaped in and engaged Thor Mode and linked to them already.




Unfortunately, it's been so long since I've watched the series, and I don't have any of the volumes yet due to cash/employment issues, I can't really contribute much. In fact, all I can pretty much do is repeated what I've asked for before:


"The Walk"
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x61szy8 (audio is sped up)

  • 11:52 in. My favorite part is the brief stuff about 12:59 in).
  • And the closing cue, which is "MillenniuM"-like. (new suggestion)


    "Small Potatoes"
    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x61t09i (audio is sped up)

  • About 18:00 in. (new suggestion)
  • About 26:00 in (new suggestion; I had forgotten about this cue -- another one I wanted)
  • 28:39 in. (new suggestion)
  • The closing cue.



    This promo music:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zseP4mUW9ks

    I have no idea if it's a Snow original, but after hearing it for several seasons, it's become a favorite.


    Also, the end credits from the pilot.


    And in an interview Snow said he did a number of tries at the theme music but none were working for Chris. Can we have this passed on demo themes?

    Alrighty here go some slightly more personal requests:


    Ghost In The Machine - Kodos to Nightwalker for some specifics here. I can't bring myself to rewatch it but I believe this one is just jam packed with that amazingly dated synthy sound we were just recently discussing. If that's the goal, I have to think there's probably a treasure trove here.


    In terms of making sure the mythology gets its due from start to finish I would certainly be a strong proponent of:

    Duane Barry/Ascension - Certainly the cliffhanger music of Duane Barry. The whole sky ride sequence in Ascension is also pretty great.

    Apocrypha - The lone gunmen at the ice rink and Krychek getting locked up in the bunker at the end

    Max - I think mostly the ending here where Scully discusses the keychain's meaning, does the plane crash have interesting music or did the sound effects totally dominate, I can't recall?

    Three Words - The opening run at the White House and the whole break-in sequence toward the end of the episode

    Nothing Important Happened Today - there's probably more to be mined from this one in particular than we think since people tended to write the mythology off at this point. But I would think certainly the cliffhanger music of Doggett being pulled into the water is worth an inclusion.

    Providence - the sequence where the buried UFO lights up and prepares to take off.


    Strictly personal: my two favorite episodes of all time are End Game and Paper Hearts. If you could find your way to include just a little more I would be elated. I'll buy 2 copies if you can include one of these and 3 copies if you you can expand both. The recap/teaser for End Game and the teaser for Paper Hearts would likely satiate me. These episodes are benchmarks.


    And the rest...

    Our Town - cool music in this especially that whole ending sequence where Mulder has to rush to save Scully before the beheading

    Quagmire - also some great music particularly at the very end where they discuss Big Blue and we see the sea monster

    Unruhe - Mulder again rushing to save Scully, she's always getting into trouble, and busting her out of the trailer

    Leonard Betts - the teaser music has a pretty fantastic theme sort of an industrial sounding music box, i've always thought. If Memento Mori and Never Again are going on this is sort of the first in a very unofficial trilogy.

    Arcadia - Different fun comedy sound here. That music where Mulder puts the flamingo out I mean come on!

    Fight Club - Don't watch it, the worst episode of all time? Methinks so. But that theme is bonkers and totally worth a listen.

    Three of a Kind - I will echo others' push for this one as well. the teaser is great where Byers discusses his perfect life. This one is strong all around.


    Thanks for wading through all of this!

    Please, the background ambience in the diner from the opening shootout of "Kill Switch".

    Season four's "Synchrony" has a good theme and some really effective music. I remember a particularly nice stretch starting at around 20:30, where Lisa is being followed and confronts the old man. It stands out because there wasn't much dialogue, but there are other fine cues, including the final conversation between Mulder and Scully and the very last cue. So some selections from this episode would be terrific!

    This would be one of my requests as well, along with the Dod Kalm scene where Scully is writing the journey at the end about the Norse myth.


    Thanks so much for one more volume, plus Season 11

    Quite frankly, all of the missing score from "Post-Modern Prometheus" and "Christmas Carol".

    Love 'em.



    With nine original seasons, we may need a Volume 5.



    How sweet would it be to spend the entire month of October just playing X-Files scores and then on Halloween as well. I don't mean 24 hours a day -- there's not that much material released.

    Woo very much looking forward to this! Thank you so much LLL for continuing to do this and for asking for suggestions!

    As you can see from the detail of the suggestions in this thread, this is something people take seriously. And I will confess I've spent hours with setting up this compilation page and updating it over the years, with many requests from members of this board: http://www.eatthecorn.com/more-music-from-the-x-files/

    It currently contains cues from 147 episodes -- of course I expect no commercial volume to cover all this, although I will keep my hopes up for a Volume 5 or limited release complete episodic scores...
    Note that certain key cues can be satisfied with only spending little time per episode, no need for complete episode score for several ones.
    Also note that I would also be over the moon with ten hours of just atmospheric mood cues from the first 2-3 seasons and nothing else!

    So here is the very best of of that, 3-star cues, per season (obviously subjective). If Volume 4 contains part of that I will be happy!

    - Deep Throat: final scene, a recurring request...Vol.3 included the theme, but that final scene is a somewhat different rendition and highly cherished by fans (43:10-45:20)
