Snow Files of the Week

[Earthnut]

I have all the albums but Vous n´avez encore rien vu, 2012, and hoping I find it some day.

As much as I love Mark Snow and his music, I do love a real violin.

Yes, I did enjoy this, thank you Alex.

Snow Files of the Week: "Main Title/Double Wide/Unplugged at Bishop Flats" from the movie "Disturbing Behavior" (1998).

After "Scream" became a worldwide success, countless teenager horror movies entered the theatres. While "Disturbing Behavior" wasn't a slasher movie, it perfectly matches the wave of genre movies at the end of the 90's.

The movie was directed by David Nutter, who also directed the first two episodes of the first season of "MillenniuM". So he was no stranger to the music of Mark Snow. Mark composed a very dark and ambient score for the movie, with some haunting tunes in between.

The score was released on CD with the movie and the album is still around for reasonable prices.

Enjoy!

I think this track literally hypnotized me to the point where I didn't even know when it ended.  Wow.

Unsure if I should thank you or not...LOL.  As always, I do appreciate your posts.

Snow Files of the Week: "Titles/Sadie tells about Tate" from the tv movie "Helter Skelter" (2004).

For this movie about Charles Manson and his "family", Snow composed a very dark and brooding score. Dark ambient soundscapes, combined with tender moments and a hauntig female solo voice.

The CD was released by BUYSOUNDTRAX.COM, limited to 1000 copies.

Enjoy!

Yes, very dark and brooding.

Lived in CA at the time of the Tate murders, and remember it well.

Thanks again Alex.

Snow Files of the Week: "Suite from The X-Files" (1996).

This suite was arranged by John Beal, in co-operation with Mark and his music editor Jeff Charbonneau. It is featured on the sampler "The Snow Files", as well as on the album "The X-Files: 20th Anniversary" by Buysoundtrax Records. This album is limited to 1.000 copies.

Enjoy!

Wow, thank you Alex for over 31 minutes of pure listening pleasure.  I knew it was ending when I heard the X-File tone, and what a downer that was.  Playing it again.

Snow Files of the Week: "Suite from the Pilot" from the tv show "Dark Skies" (1996).

Mark Snow composed the score for the pilot, but was not further involved with the show. Michael Hoenig (former Tangerine Dream member) took over scoring duties for the rest of the show. The growing success of the X-Files back then was surely something, that got Mark involved. It's no surprise, that he made his score sound like something from the X-Files.

This suite was included on the score album with the music by Michael Hoenig, released by Perseverance Records, limited to 1000 copies. The CD is sold out.

Enjoy!

There were a few short spots that sounded like parts of a MLM track.   Thanks for posting this.  Wish Mark had an entire album available for this show, but as you said, he only composed the pilot.

Thanks again Alex.

Snow Files of the Week: "Main Title/Having a Baby/All about Ned" from "Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All" (1994).

This score shows Mark's orchestral side, combining beautiful themes with sweeping strings and a little bit of Americana.
The album was released by Milan Records and still can be found for reasonable prices. It's definitely worth it.

Enjoy!
