"Heaven's Gate", as is fairly well known, is considered one of the great bombs in film history, and was pulled almost immediately after release. The soundtrack album for the film lived a shady existence on the small number of LPs released with the film, until now. This terrific CD re-release not only includes extra tracks, but sounds better than ever with some subtle remastering. David Mansfield, both as composer and as performer on most every instrument on the disc, has crafted some warm, charming acoustic music based on old ballads and dance tunes, and manages to really get your feet moving with a Cajun arrangement of one of the main themes. We even get "Glory Glory Hallelujah" thrown in for good measure. If you like traditional music at all, played with heart and gusto, this is a lovely disc to just put on and let play. It makes you smile and tap your toes, while you also appreciate Mansfield's skill as a musician in pulling off this almost-forgotten one-man-band in the service of a film most people never saw. C.

Can's say enough glowing adjectives about this soundtrack. Hauntingly beautiful. Listen to it all the time. Hope I don't wear it out.
