MARK SNOW MUSIC
I have just read two new, insightful interviews with yourself and Mark Snow about his anticipated upcoming score for "I Want To Believe." First, at JOBLO (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=12675) and now at prolific AINT IT COOL NEWS (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37203). Mark Snow's music is truly the third character in the series, and a vital component in the terrific sense of style "The X-Files" boasts that's still unmatched today.
Of particular note in the AINT IT COOL interview is Mark's answer to the oft-asked question, "Are there any plans for future releases of more music from the show?" Mark responded, "They’re talking about this massive compilation of 'The X-Files,' too. But nine years times…it could be ten thousand minutes of music! That would be a real challenge to choose from that much music but I understand that that is in the works too."
This is potentially the most exciting news for "X-Files" fans since production began on "I Want To Believe!" For more than a decade, "X-Files" fans and film score enthusiasts have been campaigning for more releases of Mark Snow's brilliant music underscores from "The X-Files." From online petitions, to questions to Mark himself, to unanswered letters to Fox, there is unwavering interest in the wide-ranging musical tapestry from "The X-Files." Where far lesser series like "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Babylon 5" (to name but a few) have more than four series soundtracks, "The X-Files" has a mere one, with "The Truth and the Light" (Warner Bros, October 1996). Surprising when "The X-Files" music generates more enthusiasm than most major film scores!
I'm here to tell you that this IS a viable release, and there are tens of thousands of us who would gladly spend our hard-earned money to obtain any such compilation. From casual viewers to "X-Files" fans, from movie music enthusiasts to the vast segment of the audience with a good musical ear, we ALL note the profound impact of Mark Snow's music, and rightfully so. Frank, anything you can do to help us see more music from "The X-Files" released, would make many people very happy. Even an internet-only release, such as the Mark Snow "Millennium" soundtrack released through iTunes a few years ago, would suffice.
The music of "The X-Files" music continues to inspire others. Here is one "X-Files" "fan made" video I produced, based on a selection of Mark's scores from "The X-Files" and "Millennium," about the characters and murky alliegances that flesh out the series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqsynyNoxE8. It's easy to hear why this music deserves to be released.
Keep up the great work, Frank. A month to go!

We couldn't agree more about Mark's music. Yes, plans are in the works to release a lot more of it, hopefully before the end of this year. As always, we'll let you know details as soon as we can.
