“The Truth and the Light” video

How many times have you listened to The X-Files: “The Truth and the Light”? I remember all the music and dialogue by heart. This fan dug up the episodes they were taken from and mixed with music from other episodes and gathered everything in a video — a video version of my page from years ago on Eat the Corn.

It’s apparent that some dialogue was taken from the episodes recordings while some other dialogue was re-recorded for the album, often by the same actors but not always (Duchovny standing in for Billy Miles). I know it’s weird but I’ll never tire of listening to this album.
