As previously noted, this is one of the worst-sounding CD's I own.    Posted:   Nov 12, 2013 - 4:37 PM     By:   mgh   (Member) This is one of Small's best scores. I hope somebody does remaster it and I would love to hear all of it.    Posted:   Nov 12, 2013 - 5:02 PM     By:   Ag^Janus   (Member) Oh lord, please accept my abject apologies. The only scores I cited were Mountains of the Moon and Comes A Horseman, and I do think those two are more traditional scores compared to Small's other work. In fact in an interview Small said that the reason he wanted to do Comes A Horseman was because he wanted to write a traditional western score. Apparently in the interview he forgot that that was an overused word that FSM board members disapproved of. I meant it as a normal question. I don't think The Postman Always Rings Twice is traditional after revisiting it, unlike Comes A Horseman. Too much of that Small paranoia going on. Bring on a newly minted Mountains of The Moon!    Posted:   Nov 12, 2013 - 9:05 PM     By:   Josh "Swashbuckler" Gizelt   (Member) There was a widescreen DVD of Mountains of the Moon, but it was unfortunately not anamorphic (while the film was 1.85, it was shot with a was hard matte, so the pan-and-scan version is cropped).    Posted:   Nov 17, 2013 - 1:44 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) The Hunt is On!    Posted:   Feb 18, 2016 - 7:52 AM     By:   Peter Greenhill   (Member) Go for it.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2016 - 3:28 PM     By:   Adm Naismith   (Member) Mountains Of The Moon is a truly great film with a truly great musical score. Michael Small is one of my favorites, but his scores are rarely found on CD. I wish someone would record his incredible music for The Parallax View! This film is very worthy of a Blu-ray release. The DVD has a 1.33:1 ratio and doesn't begin to do this gem justice. The score is outstanding; love the African rhythm blended in! Say what you will about the CD (and the levels are the lowest I have heard on most any CD), but the existing video presentations are as bad or worse. This movie could use a a fair amount of remastering love for home video and CD.    Posted:   Feb 25, 2016 - 2:11 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Yes, it is mastered at a lower than optimum level but........... there is nothing wrong with the sound mix or dynamic range; it sounds great, on my sound system at least! As for expansion, I only program half the tracks as is: 7, 3,11, 16, 17, 13, 23,18, 19, 21,22 bruce    Posted:   Feb 25, 2016 - 2:38 PM     By:   Adm Naismith   (Member) Yeah, I never felt there was much of a problem with the sound on the CD. Even with the low level. Don't know that I would double-dip without a substantial amount of new material in the film but not on CD.     General Discussion: Mountains of the Moon - Micheal Small    << < 1 2  >   Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
