Have I mentioned how seriously fucking cool TLOTR soundtrack is?
I call it one soundtrack, because it is really, just like the movies are really one movie and the books are one book.
One to rule them all, as it were. *grin*
And I'm sitting here listening to it, for the umpteenth time since I got it (which was barely two months ago!) and every time I'm hearing something new.
Silmaril predicted that it would make me want to see the movies, but it doesn't, not really. Yes, I want to see the movies again, but the score is enough on its own to feed my cravings.
What is amazing is that now I can recognize a track within 2 seconds of it starting to play. Literally the first few notes.
God, it is so beautiful.
As an aside, I heard the other day that Tolkien was apparantly an amateur clothes designer. It seems that he decided to come out of the closet, as it were, and reveal this to the world in one famous passage from TROTK. Christopher Tolkien will allegedly be releasing the proof later this month which he only recently discovered in a note scribbled in almost illegible handwriting at the bottom of the original notebook containing the outline for Aragorn's coronation scene. It would appear that the correct quote is the following:
"Now come the days of the King. May they be blessed while the thrones of the velour endure."

Date: 2004-04-22 11:46 am (UTC)The "makes you miss the movies" might be a seasonal thing.
Another connection I figured out recently:
(At least I think it's the theme for that song; I heard the song only once. It's the same music that plays when Elrond pulls Andúril out of his cloak.)
