Last of the Mohicans Promentory (the difference between the film version and the album version)

While reading through the SF's list of top film scores from the past 20 years. He mentioned Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman's Last of the Mohicans score as being one of his favorites. Most of the better tracks came from Trevor Jones, Jones would leave the project leaving it to Edelman to finish.

One of my favorite tracks has to be Promentory. This track is used during the final battle between the heroes and the villains. It uses Celtic (Scottish and Irish?) rhythms with some Native American chords and drums. The problem is the first album version of this song is completely different structurally and tonally. There are portions of Promentory that were only heard during the movie.

Full FilmVersion (as listed)

Comment: There are some really good chords in this version that's lacking in the old album version. The baseline is also different as it's louder. Some of the stuff absent from the old album version is the 4:30 mark onward. These are my favorite portions from the movie version.

Album version

Comment: There is still stuff to like about this version, but it doesn't hold a candle to the film version.
