Free Music Review: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Can you not say the best music you have ever heard in your life?! I listen to this soundtrack at least once a week! It is incredibly, outstandingly, amazingly, and wonderfully AWESOME!Free Music Review: One of the Very Best Film Scores
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the very best film scores, despite the odd bybrid of Trevor Jones's classic full-orchestra score and Randy Edelman's pared-down synthesizer cues. The unique flavor of this Michael Mann masterpiece comes through in every nuance of the score. The main title theme is unforgettable, one of the most majestic bits of composition in the classic movie-spectacular style; and the Celtic sound of "The Gael," heard in "The Kiss" and in "Promontory," is especially infectious. My one beef is the illogical way in which the CD is arranged (just as the cassette was before it). If you know the film well, try this experiment: Back up the CD, then rearrange the cuts in the order in which they actually appear in the movie. It's a very different, and even more thrilling, listening experience. In any order, though, every bit of music on this album is a treasure. Free Music Review: The Greatest Music & Soundtrack

Free Music Review: Best Movie Score Ever
Hit: 5 Stars
First off I have no musical knowledge whatsoever. I don't know what a stanza is and I don't what c flat means. I was completely lost in my mandatory music classes in grade school. In college I was offended that I had to take a music appreciation course. I managed to squeak by with a C because of lots of extra credit.
Why would I think to review something like this? I obviously cannot give any great insights into the music. I don't know why one part is riveting and another is tantalyzing.
What I do know is that this is simply an outstanding score (ok I do know it is called a score and not a soundtrack). This is how I judge music. If it sounds good then it is good. I don't care about the history or its purpose. Just the overall feel to it.
I have used this CD to relax to, to study to, and if I were a new age flake I might even meditate to it. Great CD buy it now.
Free Music Review: Jones scores a winner
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw the movie as part of a date with a fellow musician. We were late to the cineplex and missed the original movie we'd wanted to see, so we saw the Last of the Mohicans instead. It was a great movie (and an okay date), but it was the score the moved me most of all.
I was entranced through the whole thing. Loved Jones' parts of the score with the theme that ran through all the movements. I bought this on cassette, and in that medium all his parts were conveniently on one side.
I have an extensive music collection with both cassettes and CDs with very few items doubling between the two. This is one of the few that I have in multiple formats because I enjoyed it that much.
One of my favorite movements of all orchestral music of all time is "Top of the World." The music advisor I had at the time, a very prolific composer, had a snobbish attitude toward film scoring. I brought "Top of the World" for him to hear, and he actually admitted liking that one when he generally doesn't like film music.
My only complaint if I have one at all is that the Clannad song "I Will Find You" is too short on the soundtrack. I distinctly remember it being much longer in the film itself. That is the version I would rather hear than something that is over much too soon.
