Rating: - It's Lost music(!), but....
As much as I love Lost, and truly adore the soundscape that Michael Giacchino weaves under this thrilling show, this CD doesn't reflect that. Now before you go running off to a glowing review to convince you to buy(I'm not discouraging you either, just informing), allow me to explain.

This CD is the raw tracks recorded for the show, it has no flow, no emotion, and isn't interesting. Often the CD goes on for 40-80 seconds of only the faintest of some noise somewhere very far away, listening in the car gives the impression of silence......so you turn up the volume a little more.....ONLY TO HAVE SOMETHING VERY LOUD SURPRISE YOU(and perhaps damage your speakers!). Not good.

Perhaps someday Michael Giacchino will revisit this compilation and do something similar to Martin O'Donnell of Bungie Studios has recently done with the also beautiful and sometimes haunting work composed for the video game Halo 2 (Halo 2, Vol. 2 [SOUNDTRACK]). He released the raw tracks on CD early on for fans, like this CD, and now has gone back and stitched pieces together to create longer and much more cohesive suites that recapture some of the feelings and moments from the game.

So, I give the CD 3 stars. It is what it says it is, the Lost Soundtrack, and some of the tracks are beautiful. It's just not a good CD.
