Towards the end of 2008, LaLaLand Records released a limited edition 2 CD set of Mark Snow's hauntingly beautiful music from the Millennium tv series, on Tuesday, December 2 2008 for the price of $24.98. Although only the first 100 orders were to be originally autographed by composer Mark Snow as stated on the companies website, Mark kindly went on to autograph 500 copies.

Despite the release being limited to only 2000 copies (the number synonymous with shows title), the cries of Millennium fans worldwide were finally answered, after the disappointing decision by Twentieth Century Fox to limit the only previous legal release of Millennium's music to an e-version, available only the iTunes webstore. As if that were not limiting enough, it was only available to customers located in the US. These proper 2 disc CD sets however, feature 51 incredible, crystal clear and long awaited tracks, and LaLaLand Records commenced shipping worldwide on December 16th, 2008 with many deliveries arriving in time for Christmas.

Members of our message board forums at This is who we are were chomping at the bit, waiting until the scheduled release time of 12PM PST (8pm GMT) on December 2nd in order to procure a signed copy of the release. For once, the fans were able to buy a quality Millennium collectible without the traders beating them to it. Upon delivery, I was also very proud to discover a quote from Millennium-Thisiswhoweare.net, this very website, in the supplied and beautifully illustrated, detailed and genuinely insightful booklet, which was a nice surprise! As well as notes from Mark Snow and Frank Spotnitz, there are detailed notes about each of the 51 tracks present.

The long awaited and frankly surprise release, features tracks from many of your favorite episodes spanning all three seasons of Millennium. Breathtakingly beautiful, with dark and haunting violins, harpsichord, dulcimer, piano, strings, drums and choirs, all of which pull and tease at your emotions, as you listen and savour the memories of criminal profiler Frank Black's dark and bittersweet journey towards the apocalypse.

It would however be absolutely impossible to include all of Mark Snow's music from Chris Carter's sublime 67 episode television series, even allowing for the capacity of a double CD release, so no doubt some fans will be slightly disappointed that the music from episodes such as Luminary is absent. However, there is much more to be grateful for, with previously unreleased music from several fan favorite episodes including a bonus vocal remix of the shows main title theme, which is frankly hilarious but should be noted it is not family or work safe. This is a must buy for all fans of Mark Snow and hopefully, there may well one day be additional releases to complete the availability of Mark Snow's unsurpassed soundtrack.

On behalf of Millennium and Mark Snow fans everywhere, sincere gratitude is extended to LaLaLand Records, Twentieth Century Fox and of course the wonderful Mark Snow for making this dream release possible
