[edit] Description

The "The Truth and the Light - Music from the X-Files" is a musicial album composing scores from the first three seasons of the X-Files. It is composed by legendary composers Mark Snow and Jeff Charbonneau, but Snow gets credit for the piece. String and drum instruments are particularly apparent in many songs.

The music on the album can best be described as electronic music with a darker side. Many listeners have testified to the mysterious aura that surrounds them when they listen. However, many listeners do not like the vocals that are included in many of the tracks. Furthermore, most of the vocals (which are conversational) are famous lines from the first three seasons.
