The
X-Files Movie presaged that the composer of the score would be Mark
Snow. Snow is justifiably one of the hottest names in television
music. His theme for the X-Files series is maybe the most well-known
internationally. In order to confirm his fame he should compose a
corresponding score for the homonymous movie.
This
album is absolutely magnificent! I was addicted to it from the its
first notes. The series' theme is getting mutated all the time and
appears randomly with the accompaniment of massive percussions and
piano melodies. I was very pleased to discover that the intro of
every single track was "hooking" the listener and keeping
his interest till the last note. Some cues are astonishing and
declare clearly the action of the specific scene. On the other hand
I was very begrudged by the fact that during the film the volume of
the music was unacceptably low!!! I also want to comment that the
last two tracks of this CD are the embodiment of a score's climax!
Anyway,
the result of Snow's work is just sublime and cannot be described
with words. I really heard delectable music for more than an hour.
For those who never liked the series and for those who were fans,
for those who never saw the movie and for those that did... this CD
is an experience of unforgettable atmospheric music. Enjoy it! |
