Original score composed by Mark Snow. All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
Having spent the bulk of the past few years scoring episodes of ONE TREE HILL and SMALLVILLE, Mark Snow luminously returns to his roots, providing the eerie backdrop to X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE.
Snow's ability to switch from white-knuckle tension to heart-pounding drama is prevalent throughout this score. Throughout, the haunting theme song from THE X-FILES television series makes its reappearance. Frightening and lively, Snow's score makes it difficult not to believe in the goings-on.

Now you can own all 201 classic episodes of one of television's most imaginative shows ever! In this award-winning television series, FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigate the unsolved and often unexplainable cases of the X-Files. Scully: Agent Mulder, I'm Dana Scully. I've been assigned to work with you. Mulder: Oh really? I was under the impression you were sent to spy on me.
So began the X-Files and a partnership that tested, and ultimately stretched, the boundaries of trust, faith and belief. Two agents from vastly different backgrounds join forces to solve cases the FBI labeled X-Files. Together they will make discoveries neither could have ever imagined.

X Files - Fight the Future - Blu-ray
Thirty-seven thousand years ago, a deadly secret was buried in a cave in Texas. Its discovery may mean the end of all humanity.
When a terrorist bomb destroys a building in Dallas, FBI Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy surpassing anything they've ever encountered.
With the dubious assistance of a paranoid doctor (Martin Landau), Mulder and Scully risk their careers and their lives to hunt down a deadly virus which may be extraterrestrial in origin--and could destroy all life on earth.
Their pursuit of the truth pits them against the mysterious Syndicate, powerful men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe, leading the agents from a cave in Texas, to the halls of the FBI and finally to a secret installation in Antarctica which holds the greatest secret of all.
The X-Files moves to the big screen, offering "everything a great action-thriller should: intelligence, excitement and awesome special effects." (Sixty Second Preview)

The Real Science Behind the X-Files
Simon uses specific X-Files episodes as springboards for broader discussion. X-philes who enjoy these and similar stories will learn plenty of biology in the bargain; as Simon explains extraterrestrial bacteria, cloning, genetic mutations, biological warfare, the ominous decline in the world's population of frogs and the likelihood of extending the human life span.
Excerpt: It is interesting to speculate on why the hermaphroditic condition evolved in manysimple animals but not in mammals or birds. Some parasites like tapeworms spend theirentire life inside other organisms, living a bachelor existence while making theirhosts miserable.
Coming in contact with a tapeworm of the opposite sex would beproblematic if only single worms can infect hosts; evolution would therefore favorthe worm that was self-sufficient. Being a hermaphrodite also means that you canexplore new frontiers and colonize new habitats all by yourself. However, this isn'ttrue of all hermaphrodites. Many if not most animals that are hermaphrodites can'ttango alone and therefore need another member of their species for procreation.
