An interesting question, and spook...Hi again, SFF. An interesting question, and spookily enough I had been considering some of these titles myself of late for various reasons. (That's all I'll say on that subject for now!)<br /><br />Robert Shearman did indeed write for <i>Doctor Who</i> - a great episode from Series One of the relaunched series called "Dalek". As for his book, I don't own it myself and from what I understand it is little more than a set of episode-by-episode personal reflections on every episode produced by Ten Thirteen. If that's your thing, then I'm sure it's quite insightful in its way, but for me it's a little subjective.<br /><br />I actually own both volumes of Jane Goldman's "Book of the Unexplained" and so can speak directly to that one. It's a nice, glossy title that contains a mix of references from the series and backgrounds on some of the unexplained phenomena it explores. Again, if that's your thing - and with an interest in all things Fortean it certainly is mine! - then it's worth checking out.<br /><br />"The Philosophy of the X-Files" I don't know at all, I'm afraid, although you've piqued my own curiosity now! I can recommend one other title I have on the shelf here, though, which is "Deny All Knowledge: Reading The X-Files" as edited by David Lavery, Angela Hague and Marla Cartwright. It takes quite an academic approach to <i>The X-Files</i>' early years and is very good indeed. You should be able to find that one via Amazon or most reputable online marketplaces.<br /><br />I hope that's all helpful to a point, then. I've also received my copy of "Not Bad for a Human" and, whilst I've yet to have had a lot of downtime to delve too far into it, from what I have consumed so far it's a great read and as unique a biography as we should have expected from Lance. And I also have my other eye on the mailbox for the new Mark Snow <i>X-Files</i> set to arrive! "The Truth and the Light" was quite a specific title given the mix of music and dialogue, but I would still say it's a must-have... for Chris Carter's opening monologue alone. That reminds me of some spooky drives home through dark forests when it first came out!<br /><br />Hope this finds all well with you, and feel free to ask away with any similar questions...<br /><br />AdamAdam Chamberlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051484938803633140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494886620882425189.post-71640513376541821372011-05-17T09:08:00.603-07:002011-05-17T09:08:00.603-07:00Hello Adam,

He appears to have been a writer on Doctor Who, but didn't know if you had the chance to read that book.<br /><br />I also wanted to know if you would recommend Jane Goldman's Book Of The Unexplained or Dean Kowalski's The Philosophy Of The X-Files.<br /><br />Just curious. <br /><br />I did receive my copy of the Lance book. I look forward to reading it.<br /><br />The X-Files CD set from La La Land should be along any day. I can't wait.<br /><br />I think I'm going to purchase The X-Files CD The Truth And The Light. It looks like an interesting mix of score and dialogue bits. Take care and hope this finds you well.<br /><br />SffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494886620882425189.post-42364592599756245512011-05-16T07:22:15.571-07:002011-05-16T07:22:15.571-07:00Brian

There is significant material missing from both series especially Millennium.<br /><br />The Thin White Line is a good example. I'd love to see Volume IIs of Snow's scores. Amazing stuff really. My son said sincerely to me last night while I was watching Squeeze from The X-Files, "boy that's some great music."<br /><br />I'm formulating some ideas to conclude my Lance Henriksen post trilogy.<br /><br />I couldn't quite pull the third one off for John's mammoth and extraordinary blogathon, but I think it will get finished eventually just the same.<br /><br />Your site is a pleasure!SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494886620882425189.post-3408672185665133402011-05-10T22:59:42.432-07:002011-05-10T22:59:42.432-07:00Hi SFF.

Sorry to hear you missed out on the signed ones, but - autographed or otherwise - I don't think it will be available for long at all, so you're very wise for ordering so soon!<br /><br />You're absolutely right, of course - Mark Snow's score for both series was phenomenal and so integral to the tone, but in the case of <i>MIllennium</i> it really was unusual in many respects, and helped to mark out the series as something quite unique in the canon of television. I'm quite positive we could do with another volume of as yet unreleased music from that series too!<br /><br />Fingers crosses for <i>Volume II</i> - times two!Adam Chamberlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051484938803633140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494886620882425189.post-75132415134043291152011-05-10T18:10:49.436-07:002011-05-10T18:10:49.436-07:00My gosh Adam.

The allure of that box set was truly too striking to resist.<br /><br />I've been a big fan of those La La Land recordings but I had not been paying close enough attention that this was coming.<br /><br />I placed my order for the box set an hour ago only to be crushed by the news the autographs were all done. Oh well.<br /><br />That set looks more than worthy for the price of admssion. I'm quite thrilled about it and anticipate the set mightily.<br /><br />It looks like I'll have to get the Auto with the Volume II set. <br /><br />What an incredible package of music.<br /><br />Speaking of Snow and your mention of Millennium. I was stunned just how potent a score Snow created for that quiet, cerebral series. Some of the music was amazing. I really enjoyed his selections in The Thin White Line just to name one example.<br /><br />Nice to see your post covering this set. I was going to do it, but I'm glad you did it here!

I've always known how much people appreciate the performances of Lance Henriksen, but I was thrilled to see so many bloggers gazing at his many works in films, TV programming, and even video games.
