Does anyone here like movie soundtracks? What are your favorites?

70. Ever wonder why Trevor Jones (Last of the Mohicans) wasn't considered for Oscar Best Film Score?

Here is apparently why:
Director Michael Mann initially asked Trevor Jones to provide an electronic score for the film, but late in the game, it was decided an orchestral score would be more appropriate for this historic epic. Jones hurried to re-fashion the score for orchestra in the limited time left, while the constant re-cutting of the film meant music cues sometimes had to be rewritten several times to keep up with the new timings. Finally, with the release date looming, composer Randy Edelman was called-in to score some minor scenes which Jones did not have time to do. Jones and Edelman received co-credit on the film (thus making this very popular and acclaimed score ineligible for Oscar consideration).

The main theme of the movie is taken from the tune The Gael by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean.

Rerecording in 2000

The score was re-recorded and re-released in 2000 to address some perceived problems with its original incarnation. The tracks were reordered into their onscreen chronology (the original album separated the Jones material from that composed by Edelman), some additional cues were added, and Clannad's "I Will Find You" no longer included.
