This is more wonderful music from soundtrack composer Michael Giacchino. There is a greater number of slower-paced, melancholy tracks than on the first season soundtrack, but it's a great progression nevertheless. The high-speed action techno tracks remain exciting as usual, while the slower ones are quite emotive. Unfortunately, like with the previous soundtrack, the music from the show's closing credits is not included (though the same melody is peppered throughout both CDs). Here's hoping for future soundtrack releases for Seasons 3 and 4!
As a huge Alias fan, I was ecstatic when I got this soundtrack. Sadly, the majority of it consisted of slow, sad songs that were honestly pretty boring. I was looking forward to more loud and exciting songs, but there's probably only about 4 or 5 of those on here. If you like all the musics on Alias though, I'd say go for it!
Was thoroughly satisfied with this release of early Giachinno at his finest. Sure, there's a lot more sombre cues (as opposed to the up-beat dance sequences prevalent in Alias season 1), but Season 2 is a lot more serious and sombre than Season 1 - and the music fits perfectly.
Am annoyed the Alias Seasons 3-5 soundtracks have not seen commercial forms yet. Season 2 was special, as it was the last season to really pump out the dance/techno scores during the action scenes. By Season 4, Giachinno's score has become 100% orchestral.
