Track of the Week: "Charlie's Temptation" by Michael Giacchino, from Lost: Season 2



I initially wrote off Giacchino's work on the second season of Lost, but after watching it a second time was quite taken with Charlie's Theme. Sadly, a more action oriented version of the theme was missing from the album, so this short cue is the best representation I have. I love Giacchino's ability to make memorable little melodic snippets (especially in the minor key, like the cello driven "Journey/Trek" theme that appears in all the seasons). Now if only they'd do an album release of Fringe Season 1, I'd be a real happy camper.
