MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: July 04 2003, 22:24 Yes Mike himself did make it. And you can tell . Steve Wright...is he the dude who made the X-Files theme or the dude who made X-Files? I don't remember. And there are 2 soundtracks of the X-Files movie (weird). And the most known and most available one doesn't contain Tubular X. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 05 2003, 17:59 @ Brandon: Mark Snow is the author of the original X-files theme, and there is only one soundtrack for 'The X-files: Fight the future', i.e. the movie. The other X-files soundtrack available on the market [here it's still commonly available, I don't know about Canada... ] is called 'Songs in the key of X' and includes all the songs (very few, indeed) played during the various episodes (and the five seasons) of the 'X-files' TV show. This second soundtrack does not include Mike's Tubular X because it was not used in any episode of the show. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

One including Tubular X, one without. -------------- "While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past." - Jack Vance Back to top

BTW...how did Mike get involved with that? As far as I know,he did it when he was living in Ibiza. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Spinne Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: May 2003 Posted: Sep. 03 2003, 12:14 Yes Brandon, there are 2 editions of The X-files movie soundtrack and... Tubular X is only included on the european version. That's why there, in Canada, is not so easy to find it (it must only appear on imported records). And David, maybe you're refering to an extract from an interview at Steve Wright Show that has been included on some bootlegs and is circulating all over the net. This music excerpts aren't Tubular X but Mike improvisations. If you want to hear Tubular X you can do it at Arrian's webpage Back to top
