I can't believe we post on a board where I have to preface this, but: I'm not ungrateful.
However, if the Pod Monster Suite is the same as on the old CD, then once again we don't get the alternate version of the peice where Mulder and Scully escape out of the ship before it takes off.

There's about 8 minutes of new music on this release going by the running time. "Quitting" is the early statement of the great little theme that gets more fleshed out in "Already Dead" and "Plague", etc. "Elders / Crossroads" -- no idea what the "Elders" bit could be, and I'm assuming the "Crossroads" portion of the cue is the "Threnody in X" edit used in the film. Maybe "Space Hole" could contain the great action cue where M&S are climbing up the tunnel with the aliens on their tail? Hope so. Still leaves out that fantastic ending cue though.
I'll of course still be buying this immediately on release either way. Excited. 
- Yes, "Quitting" is virtually identical to the opening of "Plague", but with a slightly different last few seconds.
- "Elders" is a quite slow and silent variation on the X-Files theme, but probably the most interesting addition here (besides the unheard alternate "Plague" segment)
- "Crossroads" is as far as I know an edited part of the second part of "Threnody in X" (which is composed of the first part of the prologue and the film version of "Crossroads")
- "Space Hole" is a very atmospheric cue, more sounds really, that accompany Mulder's descent into the ice - it's not that action cue.
If the tracklist is correct, I think this is not meant as an expansion in any way, but more as a reissue of the score - which would explain the missing highlights and the front cover.

Great news! This really makes my day.
But surely that tracklist is wrong; like others said:
- that unbelievable finale cue is indeed missing (which is for me personally in my top 3 unreleased cues from the 90s)
My understanding is that this cue was done at the very last second (As I recall the scene in question was a added to the film at the last minute, I could be wrong) and Mark just knocked it out at his studio and sent it over to the dub stage and that DAT or D-88 has vanished in the last 16 years.
He didn't have a copy in his archive either. It happens.
- the film version of Crossroads can already be heard in Threnody in X (unless it's an alternate take or so?), but it's editorially shortened
As I further recall (and I could be mistaken), "Threnody in X " comprises both the Opening titles and the film version of "Crossroads", the cue called "Crossroads" on the album as I recall was the first version of this piece that Mark redid to include more of the "X Files" Theme.

Regardless of what may or may not be missing, it will be great to listen to this score in better sound quality. The OST really sounds off in places. And the distortion in Crater Hug always bugged me.

If that blurb in the original post was what the X-Files website had originally said, it's been changed now with more information. I went there and among the new info', is a release date:
July 29, 2014
