I do like the muisc in movies, to be honest it's about the only movie I really like the music from, ah well.

Do you know Christopher Lee (guy who playes Saruman) participates in a album of the metal band Rhapsody? Rhapsody has a strange kind of music...they themselves call it Hollywood metal, I would describe them (for the more learned about metal amongst us) as a mixture between power, epic, symphinic, speed metal

He also Is in a video from that band, I wil be able to write more about this, but not now, I am to be to busy

Edit after I stopt being busy:
About Rhapsody, I al ready discribed there genre. There lyrics are fantasy based, and they have spend quit some time making it all up, it's mainly about the music but the stories are quite good. When you buy a album of them, you get this thing with the lyrics and between the lyrics, it also tells you stuff about the story and a map. I believe they just starded a new story again and that was a project together with Christopher Lee.

Well to give you a better idea of Rhapsody and their cooperation with Christopher Lee, here is are the URL's to their 2 magnificent video's together with Christopher Lee:

- http://youtube.com/watch?v=fzJZpEownLY
This song is called 'Magic of the Wizards Dream' it's more a less a ballad and Christopher Lee also sings a bit in this song

- http://youtube.com/watch?v=hGEz2T0hDKQ
This song is called 'Unholy Warcry' it is a much harder and more epic song, the story telling in the beginning and in the middle are done by Christopher Lee. 'A new Saga Begins' in the beginning of this refers to a new story that starts with the album that this song is released on. It takes 10 minuts because it is some crazy full lenght epic version or something, feel free too skip a bit of the intro, it is a few minuts of story telling, which isn't very intresting if you don't follow the story I suppose.

Now the connection between all this and LOTR and music, except Christopher Lee; I always thought this band would be excellent to make music for the Lotr movies Speccialy with the song (for any other Rhapsody Lovers) 'Never Forgotten Heroes'

*A small not on their name, I believe they changed it on their last album to 'Rhapsody of Fire'
