'The Truth and the Light - Music from the X-Files' is an album comprising excerpts of instrumental music scores from the first three seasons of the X-Files, along with portions of dialogue from the show. The music for the series was composed by Mark Snow and Jeff Charbonneau,[citation needed] but Snow receives credit. String and drum instruments are particularly apparent in many songs, however, the music on the album can best be described as ambient and electronic music with a darker side.

Some listeners felt the dialogue included from the show (largely famous lines from the first three seasons) was a distraction from the music.[citation needed] The release was also criticised for containing incomplete versions of score, not including music from certain episodes, and for unusual track names and liner notes that gave no indication from which episode the music was taken. However, others testified to a mysterious aura created by the combination of X-Files music and dialogue.
