X-FILES MUSIC (by Mark Snow) ON CD!!

Post by guitaroboe » Wed Jun 29, 2011 5:18 am

Hey fellow composers.
I just received the CD set of the X-FILES (tv series-not the movies!!). For the first time ever the
cues of composer Mark Snow are available to listen to and possibly learn.
The sound quality is fantastic (even though the samples themselves might sound dated by today's
standards) and the music is timeless.
It's a very limited edition, only 3000 pressed so, first come-first served !

I'm not making a buck on this, it's just a heads up because every cue here is a lesson in scoring.

cheers

Adonis

Definitely cool! How would you rate the "detailed track-by-track analysis"? Does it go into depth about the instruments, synth patches, recording techniques, etc.?

Absolutely. How about over drinks at the Rally?

I have always loved the music for the X-files. This will be great to really dig in and listen.
