leeallen01 2,136 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm currently re-watching all of LOST, and am noticing so many great musical choices and thematic weaving this time around. I was watching the episode where in the flashback Desmond is a monk, and all throughout the episode, Giacchino gives us only half of Desmond and Penny's theme. Literally every scene that Desmond mentions Penny, we hear only half of the theme to indicate that he is not a complete person without her. And then at the end when we see the flashback of them meeting for the first time, Giacchino plays the full theme to show how they are complete when they're together. Such great musical storytelling. curlytoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2017 Giacchino was on fire when he was writing Lost.

MOH and Speed Racer would be my follow-ups though, I agree with you there. Swap Incredibles out for Ratatouille, though.

There were 5 percussionists, ranging from drums, anvil etc. 4 trombones, 4 double bass, 6 cello, 25 violins, a piano, harp and keyboard. They performed many themes.

Don't let some of the long track lengths fool you, a lot of them are padded with stuff Giacchino and guests say to the audience in between selections.

Thor 7,518 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 The first volume (or two first volumes?....there was one with greenish background) was one of the first soundtracks I ever had in digital file format, back in the early 2000s. I think they were on a CD-R of mp3s that a friend made for me. Alas, they didn't do much for me as a listening experience, so I either deleted them or lost them in some of my computer upgrades since then. But in-context of the show, the score is very good; Giacchino's best. Stark, uncomfortable, mysterious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxMovieMan 273 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I agree with Jay that this is Giacchino’s masterpiece. As far as it being the best TV score of all time I think it’s only behind Game of Thrones. Besides that nothing really comes close for me. The use of leitmotifs is incredible just like GOT. I have playlists for every theme with the tracks they appear in. The Lost Wiki was super helpful for that. I honestly really love the first season’s album. Then season 3 has some of my favorite tracks but it’s far too long. Season 4, season 5, season 6, and last episodes albums are like picking between my children but I think the last episodes is probably the score at its most fulfilled. You get the most out of the score when you’ve listened to all the albums and have seen how the themes developed over the course of the seasons. God I love the main theme of this show which is best showcased in, “Credit Where Credit Is Due.” Something about it makes me so emotional. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of the show itself which I also love or the simplicity of it. So beautiful. Jurassic Shark and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it, I'm a big Giacchino fan, but somehow never got into his Lost scores. There's so much music that I'm not sure where to start. I am planning of watching the series at some point, so if that helps to appreciate the music, I'll try to do it sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
