Free Music Notes for The Last Of The Mohicans: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Addictive, breathtaking, and atmospheric
Hit: 5 Stars
I listen to this soundtrack everytime I ride through the Appalachian Mountains and when I drive to Chimney Rock, (Why not listen to the soundtrack of the "..Mohican's" filmed location? -It really sets the mood.) The whole mood of the music fits in with the cinematography and timescape of the film. So many feelings are poured into the making of each composition, and mostly through tracks like "The Glade", "The Kiss", "The Courier", "Elk Hunt" and of course "Promentory", you'll feel passion, anxiety, intune with nature, and every possible feeling that deals with love and determination. I wish "Promentory" would have been as precise as the version on the film. I miss the bass strings and the part where Uncas dies and Alice chooses her fate. There's a steady tune of violin and symphonic bits that add to the on-coming climax. But all in all, I still enjoy listening to this album, and will for many years to come. And Clannad a remarkable impression on the film. On the VHS, you'll here a beautiful, dreary female voice sing the song "I will find you". To bad it is edited out of the U.S. DVD release. Free Music Review: Who is this idiot Jerry McCulley ?
Hit: 5 Stars
Why is he writing reviews? Please Mr.McCulley stop. People this music was probably the first soundtrack, that made me sit up and listen and understand how much the music behind the movie actually drives the emotions that cannot be conveyed.
The music also can stand alone by itself. I cant name favorites. But this is one piece of art thats universally loved by everybody. Get it, you never will regret it.

Superb! Watch the movie first and you'll buy the soundtrack shortly afterwards! Free Music Review: Beautiful sad music for a beautiful sad film
Hit: 5 Stars
When I watched the film and listened to the music I was struck by how well the music fit the film, and at the same time that the music was obviously so Celtic (confirmed by one of the tracks being performed by Clannad). I have pondered why the Celtic music of the film fits so perfectly with a 1992 film (done in 1930s style, i.e. no sex, bad language, etc.) from a story of early 19th century classic American literature. The reason the music works is that Celtic music is Western music of struggle, much as Russian music is. Having been oppressed by the English for hundreds of years, the Scots and the Irish had music that reflected their difficulties. The minor keys of the music in this film not only heighten the sense of passion between Hawkeye and Cora far more than any nude or sex scene could, but also the sense of doomed romance between them. The main them of the film successfully conveys the sense of epic scope of the story, as the film itself is one of the very best ever made, and certainly the triump of director Michael Mann's career.
Ignore Jerry McCulley's amazon.com review of the soundtrack. He obviously didn't understand the film, or the period of time and place that generated the story behind it. His lack of comprehension of the film translates into a lack of appreciation for the soundtrack.
Free Music Review: Great Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
I originally borrowed a copy of the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack from a fiend of mine. I so enjoyed the music that I ended up purchasing the original motion picture soundtrack and the 2000 re-recording. Both CD's are wonderful. No matter what version I listen to, everytime I hear the Opening Title and the Elk Hunt I get goose bumps!
