He was as important to the success of the X-Files as much as the actors were. R.I.P. 🛸👽

RIP but I think one of his best scores was the episode “This is not happening”

One of my favorite episodes for Mark's music was the 2 parter Christmas Carol and Emily. Don't think I have ever had any music just make me get emotional that quick.

My favourite soundtrack is from S1E10 "Fallen Angel". It manages to be both Action oriented and misterious. RIP Legend

My goodness, legendary music😮 once I heard and lived with his musical scores over the years I was spoiled. I often times would notice the music in TV and movies I was watching and reminisce about the ambiance that the music in The X-Files created which was absolutely an integral character for sure. There's an astonishing amount of musical scores in other entertainment that I felt did not even come close to measuring up. rip to a real one

The X-Files Forever
10 Episodes with Outstanding Background Music (In Memory of Mark Snow)
The X-Files would not have been as great without the mastery of Mark Snow. The composer – who passed away on July 4 – crafted a distinctive and rich sonic tapestry that pretty much functions as another character in the show. The series' elastic narrative format posed a real challenge for Snow, but he rose to the occasion triumphantly. Thanks to him, no other show sounds quite like The X-Files.
These are ten The X-Files episodes that feature outstanding background music.
• "The Host" [Season 2] – eerie, suspenseful soundscape
• "One Breath" [Season 2] – evocative, harmonic tones
• "Paper Clip" [Season 3] – striking, imposing motifs
• "Paper Hearts" [Season 4] – resonant, bittersweet pieces
• "The Post-Modern Prometheus" [Season 5] – whimsical, carnival-esque textures
• "Triangle" [Season 6] – sprightly, jazzy elements
• "S.R. 819" [Season 6] – polished, throbbing cues
• "Closure" [Season 7] – tender, ethereal cross between Snow and Moby
• "Theef" [Season 7] – wicked, bewitching patterns
• "The Truth" [Season 9] – epic, emotive score
