Ennio Morricone – The Mission (Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture)

have one for sale, DM me if you are interested

I have to disagree with the other reviews. Unfortunately, like most modern Morricone pressings, this is not the best. It doesn't matter how often I clean them, there are always too many imperfections in the playback.

Se escucha un ruido cuando participa un solo instrumento.
Es como que si el viento sopla algún micrófono.

Agree with Criminologue. The original French release is also my point of comparison - it was OK, but this one sounds like a much better pressing of a faithful but better master : dead quiet vinyl, very nice detail and dynamics, much deeper bass and wider soundstage. Of course the download is a nice bonus but even if it wasn't there, this would be a great release.

Better than my french OG. great pressing. no pop, no noise. Great remaster on 180gr

One of Morricone's best-selling soundtrack albums for good reason, The Mission is essentially variations on a handful of lushly orchestrated symphonic and choral themes, all very melodic and reminiscent of more than a few Christian hymns. The album's not without flaws, though. It has quite a bit of repetition and too many of what I would call "statement endings," and there's a small amount run-of-the-mill filler for suspenseful scenes. But man, the other 80% of the music is just some of the most beautiful, peaceful, and—at times—most quintessentially Italian music ever made. No need to see the movie to enjoy this.
