Soundtrack to Pivotal Season of TV's 'Most Confusing Show' to Be Released

Fans of a certain long "lost" TV show might be enjoying From on MGM+ these days, a mystery series with a somewhat similar vibe.

Twenty years ago, however, Lost was in full swing on ABC - more specifically, its groundbreaking third season.

Die-hards of the mind-trip saga, co-created by J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, may also recall the emotionally charged musical score that helped boost the Season 3's second half - which offered a number of eye-opening and shocking episodes with twists we certainly didn't see coming.

And now, in honor of the season's 20-year milestone, composer Michael Giacchino's iconic score for the pivotal third season of Lost will debut on vinyl this summer, hitting stores July 24.

The 2-LP set is pressed on "Forest Green" vinyl and comes packaged in a gatefold jacket featuring creative notes from the original 2006 CD release by Giacchino, 58, and others. The release is set to hit stores on July 24 and is available for pre-order today.

Giacchino became known for his remarkable speed in developing themes and ideas for an essential score in the fast-paced TV production world.

"We never really spotted any of the episodes for the entire run of the show," he told IndieWire in 2024, amid the first season's 20th anniversary. "There just wasn't time to discuss music episode by episode, as the showrunners were cranking out scripts and shooting episodes, so I would receive the episode and have (in many cases) three to five days to write and turn it around - meaning recording as well."

The third season of Lost - a show that was ranked by Comic Book Resources in December 2025 as one of five "most confusing shows in TV history" - is widely regarded as one of the best in the show's history. Despite what fans considered a "slow start," its second half ranks among the series' strongest.
