I hear that Mike wrote some of the music to the "X Files" Movie...but it's a hidden track on the US releases (why?). Is it used in the movie? If so, where? The ending credits, perhaps? If not, where can I hear it? Back to top

I know that it is on the Europe version of the soundtrack, but i don't think it's on the US's version at all. SIGH. i've heard it though on an .mp3. it sounds pretty cool. Don't remember where i got the .mp3 though -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top

Hard to place it though. Next time I see it I'll have to listen carefully for it. I seem to remember it being used in the foreground during their drive to find the tankers, just before they reach the corn field....on that long dirt road. Sometimes, I wish he'd expand singles (like Pictures In The Dark, The Trap, and now this Tubular X) into full albums. This single is begging for more to it! lol. I can see it now: Tubular Bells IV: The Creepy Side of The Bell. Hey, I'd like to hear some creepy, haunting music out of Mike ;-). Thanks again. Back to top

And scoring a sci-fi movie would be more suited to Mike's style than a serious historical epic like "The Killing Fields". (although that is by no means a shabby album you understand...)
