This new trend of composers not including every single BGM in their soundtracks is probably the most annoying and rage-inducing thing I've encountered so far. See also Darker than Black (Yoko Kanno, where the hell's the second disc?).
There are at least five distinctive pieces missing from the two soundtracks, with God knows how many more that's slipped through the cracks. Here's what I noticed missing so far (personal favourites being nameless tracks #1 and #2):
1. Episode 01, 6:30 start has this flighty piano piece. Probably one of my favourites since it isn't overplayed like some other good-but-repeated-to-death ones (especially those from the first season), and fits the mood very well.
2. Episode 01, 13:02 start introduces this piano/violin combo that's equal parts frenetic and awesome but yet again, isn't to be seen in either soundtrack.
3. Episode 14, 14:35 start has this wailing electric guitar (I think) piece that's also repeated in a few other episodes after it.
4. Episode 14, 0:00 start has this poignant violin piece that's also played in episode 24, where Lelouch first meets Nunnally.
5. Episode 24, 13:47 start slips in an especially epic orchestral piece, again with violin, and again, not to be found on either soundtrack.
What about Madder Sky, Siegfried, and Prodigy off the first soundtrack that have yet to be played? Siegfried, ironically, doesn't play during episode 14--it's nameless track #3 I've mentioned above that plays instead. This is quite puzzling considering that there's only one episode left, and 25 odd minutes seem a bit tight to squeeze all of those in.
I'll be sorely disappointed if there isn't a third soundtrack. :(
