縱使整張專輯調性一致，所運用的編曲與變奏手法也不多，或許作曲家的解釋可以幫助樂迷了解這張創作。Howard Shore 在 Jonathan Broxton ( Movie Music U.K 網站的站長 ) 的訪談下，講述了一些他自己的創作觀點：

『The score is all about perception and perspective of sound. I played with the idea of ones perspective of music, and the reality of how instruments relate to each other. If you listen to a symphony orchestra, there's a context to how the sound reaches you because of the way the orchestra is seated. The brass are in a certain position, so you hear certain things in a certain perspective. You hear the violins in relation to the cellos or to the basses, or to percussion in a very specific way. Through listening to contemporary music, we've developed this perspective of what we accept as being correct for the way music is supposed to sound. 』

是故，Howard Shore 所強調的不是旋律的激昂或是起伏，而是藉由樂器與樂器之間的對位融合，以聲響為出發點的實驗性風格，不過，似乎 Shore 從以前就是這樣子的表現手法，這也許就造成了他部分作品給人隱晦難解的感受。在這部作品裡，Shore 使用大量的傳統管絃元素，只是在獨特的錄音操作下，整體音色帶些模糊、不真實與黏稠，有些段落如「MetaFlesh Game-Pods」更出現較富節奏感的管絃和絃；在其他層次方面，也放入一些電吉他或是電子效果在裡面，例如「traumatized nervous system」令人發毛的怪異音效，或是「reality bleed through effect」開場的撲朔迷離。

【X接觸：來自異世界】的音樂雖然冷僻，但它在外國評價都算滿高的，有人用很妙的譬喻來推薦，這張 CD 不適合在你開車的時候放來聽，而是在晚上夜深人靜時，拿一本懸疑小說配合聽著音樂，才比較富趣味。這張原聲帶目前仍以低階價位流通於唱片行或是二手市場，感覺很不受市場重視，有興趣的人或許可以找來聽聽。
