Awesome LotR soundtrack - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tigerlily Gamgee · 01-07-2009, 04:29 PM

Did anyone manage to pick up the complete score CD's???? I totally missed my chance on TTT and ROTK... granted, I could still get ROTK for a decent price, but TTT is going for over $200!!!!

*pout* Any reviews on them? I just ordered the FOTR one from B&N.com.

I have the FotR full soundtrack - it's great, no question about it! Who could say no to more Howard Shore music? I think his LotR score is the best in movie history. His score is so deep that this complete set does not lose potency compared to the condensed version. I wish I had all three full editions - that's 9 hours of music! But they are quite expensive. They were around $50. $200 is a bit ridiculous - I assume you saw that price on Amazon, because often when Amazon is out of stock they list the price from "other sellers". Those other sellers may have incorrectly priced the item or be selling a different product.

Oh...wait. Ignore what I just wrote; I see one bid up to $200 on ebay. Wow. These were $50 last year! Did they stop making them? That's scandalous! How can they be worth so much?

Morthoron - excellent! I love song parodies. I want to sing your version now!

Yes, the TTT and ROTK are out of print! I'm KICKING myself for waiting so long!!!!!! I should've bought them last year *pouty face*
I just bought the FOTR one, though, as that one is still in print (I wonder why they left that one in print and not the others! *shrug*).

Have ya'll seen the ad on TORn about the show at Radio City Music Hall in October!??? I wanna go!!!! NY trip?

Well, I received the ROTK Complete as a prize (of all things!) in an M-e poetry contest on another Tolkien site. I wasn't aware of the value!

DO I HAVE ANY BIDDERS!

Ummm...just kidding

Maybe...

Beregond · 01-07-2009, 06:17 PM

Oh, what dastardly news! If only I'd bought ten of each while I still had the chance (and sold nine). Alas, alack!

The soundtrack from the LOTR Online is rather excellent. Most all of it can be downloaded from various sources. It was produced with a full studio orchestra, and much of it could fit within and between the movie tracks.

Down Down to Goblintown, Lament for Oakenshield, Things to Come, and others are exceptional. The Shire related themes, Breeland Jig and others are wonderful. They make for great background music when reading the books.

I don't know whether this is what you're looking for, but you can seemingly buy it for around £18.

I managed to get my hands on all three complete recordings. Free library check-out on CDs + iTunes = sneaky, but wonderful. Though I would like to own all three so I could listen to them in my car, but I have other frivolous things to buy like food and soap.

Now that I've managed to procure all of them I must say they're probably the most listened to albums in my iTunes. Since most of the songs are just beautiful instrumental pieces they make perfect background music for reading and paper writing.

I am also a big fan of the soundtrack!

I have always loved 2 tracks from FOTR:

"Lothlorien" is a great, mysterious track

"The Breaking of the Fellowship" is pure masterpiece, it gets me every time

ROTK is available on iTunes and Amazon MP3 as the complete recordings for about $25. As long as you don't care about discs, it's a good way to get it. I prefer Amazon b/c of the universal MP3 format. The complete recordings for FOTR and TTT are not available digitally yet for some strange reason.

Anyway, back to the original point, when I listen to The Grey Havens, I am at peace. One of the best soundtrack tracks ever.

I love these recordings, but here in México it's almost impossible to find the complete extended editions soundtrack.
