Masterful composition, many titles missing, deserved the Emmy (Updated),

This review is from: Lost: The Final Season (Audio CD)
All the stops were taken out for this masterful collection of 51 amazing titles. While we can all agree the script writing and execution of the final season was shady at times, Giacchino was constantly innovating and creating new and beautiful themes for this chapter. The problem is that, while we get 51 titles, there are DOZENS of things missing from this release, most notably the variations on Desmond's sideways theme, the best of which was heard as Hurley met up with Desmond, Kate, and Sayid after Ana Lucia let them out of the cop car. Not to mention the beautiful music from "Across the Sea" or the dozens of cues from "The End". Nevertheless, this release does have some big surprises.
Let's start with the audio. The recording quality of these CDs seems a bit higher than the previous five releases. It sounds like Giacchino might have chosen to isolate each section so levels could be balanced afterward. The performances have a few flaws here and there, which you'd rarely...Read more

Well, here it is. The last piece of the puzzle. Season 6 just came out on Blu-ray. The entire series has been released in a gorgeous box set also available on Blu-ray and now here is Michael Giacchino's final Lost album. I applaud Varèse Sarabande for handling Giacchino's score with the dedication it deserved over the years with the constant 2-disc releases. This selection from the final season spans 2 discs packed with 2.5 hours of Giacchino's emotional and masterful music.
Never in the history of television has a TV show's score done what Lost's has. Forget the fact that it has become iconic and a staple of the show, but look at how it functions as a score. The pure emotion that bleeds from every note gives us new dimensions to the story as we watch it unfold. The characters become hallow if it weren't for the score. The show would become empty. I can admit that Lost has consistently brought me to tears throughout its 6 seasons, and while being emotionally invested...Read more

Lost was one of the best shows ever, and for six seasons stayed that way, there were many reasos why, one of them was Michael Giacchino. No one has ever written a score for a television show like he did. Every note was perfect and perfectly placed for every scene. The final season featured some of his best musical and the final scene was perfect and a perfect way to end this great show, with great music.
