Going to re watch some of the series while waiting for this to arrive. What are everyone’s most anticipated episodes from this new set to steer my viewing?

Certainly can't go wrong with watching Duane Barry/Ascension, Pusher, Triangle and Oubliette again.

I don't see the 4X18 – MAX "abduction of Garrett in mid-air" music that I desperately wanted but I do see Submarinara, Second Site and Blisters from this episode which should be nice. Trying to remember those scenes. I'll need to go back and re-watch the episode. Of course I ordered the the volume anyways and I'm grateful to get this as a Christmas present to myself. Ha ha. I'm sure I will love it anyways. Thanks LLL.

I'd love to hear how the sausage was made with these sets. Mike, how did you end up selecting the episodes to feature? Did you transfer the complete scores for all of those episodes and then cherry pick the best cues? How much was Mark Snow involved?

I don't want to get into the sausage making process too much but I'll say that I'm a longtime fan of the show and that it was a great honor to work on these albums. All those years of pining for this music and I never imagined I would find myself in the position of helping make these albums a reality.

With X FILES, I got to help my associates with the assembly for Volume 1 and then I took over with Volume 2. Same with MILLENNIUM. I wanted to honor Mark's music and create a good listening experience with each disc. Mark had input on each assembly and gave his blessing. There were a lot of hard choices to make with each collection, especially the first volume. Imagine if that had been our only crack at this..? But in addition to my own choices, we had the benefit of getting input from you, the fans, which helped us drill down even further.

I hope everyone enjoys Volume 4. Each disc has so many gems on it.

sounds awesome ^^ can't wait to listen to Volume 4 smile Thank you so much LLLR for releasing these sets.

I still hope it isn't the finishing line and it will continue till Volume 20 big grin there can't be enough X-Files music released. smile This isn't meant as bashing: I really hope that the music of This is not happening will get released some day without those edits of Volume I.

The last two tracks missing from The Truth And The Light were from Oubliette and we covered them here.

Not to dampen any spirits, because this looks like a terrific release, but that is not correct. There will still be a few tracks missing that were on The Truth and the Light (e.g. Fides Fragilis). Happy to post an updated list of missing tracks once I receive the set. I will also gladly interpret any omissions as a cliffhanger wink

Thanks for what you were able to share! Volume 1 remains a stellar release; it's such a great overview of the diverse styles from the show. You guys also did a nice job of keeping enough of the most popular requests back for the latter albums that they continued to be exciting. Still can't believe how many of my requests post-volume 1 ended up ultimately being filled in these sets.

What are the chances of a Volume 2 reissue?

That's a good question. I would absolutely go here to make an inquiry.

4 volumes and still no love for the episode Synchrony. Oh well.... maybe vol 5 wink

Think it just speaks the the high quality of Mark Snows work that after the wonderful riches of 3 volumes, plus the forthcoming vol 4 there is still so much great music that could be released.
Really looking forward to delving into the new release.

I think there were indications that volume 4 would be the last one. Now that Disney owns Fox they probably won't play nice but who knows.

Volume 4 should probably be considered a "bonus" since volume 3 was originally going to be the last one, if I recall correctly... I might be mixed up about this, but I'm *fairly* sure that volume 3 was going to be the last one and then the strong sales ensured that a fourth film was considered not long after that. smile

First, thank you to LLL for this release! As always, your work is greatly appreciated. I am eagerly awaiting the email that it has shipped.

Most excited by the missing cue from the film, but also for cues from Darkness Falls. That has always been a favorite as there were certain aspects of the episode that captured the early mystique of the series.

I can never be disappointed by another X-files release but really was hoping for the first cue of Herrenvolk, where the identical children appear to the stung lineman ... there is something about that cue that, for me, encapsulates the overriding mystery of the X-files.

But, again, excited for this to arrive. Thank you!

Thanks for this background info! Really looking forward to this. My impression was that despite not knowing how many volumes you would do, you paced yourselves with some cues -- like music for one half of two-part episodes being in one volume and from the other half in another volume, or the music from big two/three-part episodes spread over all volumes and not gathered together. I'm thinking of the mythology episodes here, I know that's only part of the music, but looking at the tracklists of all volumes this is my impression.

Also, from the sound samples of Vol.4 I noticed there's one credited to Jeff Charbonneau (music from the tattoo scene in Never Again): was his contribution more significant in that cue? He's credited as music editor in the show, but was he involved in the writing of the music in several occasions?

Jeff Charbonneau's contribution is discussed in the liner notes. Short version, he composed the Scully's Tattoo music. Jeff was more than just music editor on the show and occasionally contributed some short cues in many episodes. Largely sound design.
