RotK Soundtrack

Elfhelm · 10-20-2003, 06:13 PM

I've been checking Amazon now and then and when I looked today they were taking pre-orders for a November 25th release date. They were also listing a 3 CD set for 55 US dollars. I couldn't find any mention of it at the official movie site. I wonder if it is all three soundtracks complete with bonus tracks. (I wish.) I almost want the soundtrack more than the movie!

Has anyone heard of this 3 CD set or what it contains?

hectorberlioz · 10-20-2003, 11:13 PM

I've heard of that 3 cd set, havent heard of what it contains though.

Varda Oiolosseo · 10-21-2003, 12:55 PM

wow i havn't heard of that! Maybe it's like all the soundtracks box set.

I can't wait for the ROTK soundtrack!

Shadowfax · 10-21-2003, 10:05 PM

Here's some very recent info from theonering.net (list of track names, special sets, etc): http://www.theonering.net/scrapbook/view/9132

Am I seeing that correctly, that Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortenson will both be singing on the soundtrack? And I didn't see Liv mentioned on that as a soloist.

How interesting.
So I wonder if the three cd one will have the FotR and TTT with bonus tracks or something... I don't think I was even aware that FotR had a special ed. cd already. That gets confusing, and then there's a spec. edition cd+dvd, which is sold separately than the 3 cd one? They need to simplify this by just releasing ONE thing, that includes everything!

Black Breathalizer · 10-22-2003, 08:53 AM

I was a little shocked NOT to see Liv Tyler's name as a soloist. There was a great deal of hoopla last year about the fact Liv was going to sing the finale song in ROTK.

It appears that Anne Lennox (an incredible singer by the way) replaced Liv.

Elfhelm · 10-22-2003, 03:37 PM

Perhaps Boyd and Mortensen's voices will be samples from spoken lines in the movie. I was hoping to hear Liv, too, but Lennox will have to "suffice" as her replacement.

hectorberlioz · 10-22-2003, 03:48 PM

To tell the truth. I wish Enya had done the two towers as well as fotr. That other singer wasnt to impressive.

Elfhelm · 10-22-2003, 07:10 PM

But I think you're gonna like La Fleming.

Gollum's song wasn't really an Enya-type song. It was originally written and intended for Bjork.

hectorberlioz · 10-23-2003, 12:39 AM

I'm even less impressed now.
Something about the gollum song bothered me. It was kinda "teeny bopperish", didnt fit in at all.

hectorberlioz · 10-23-2003, 12:41 AM

ooh. your rigt Elfhelm. I do like 'La Fleming'.

Rosie Gamgee · 10-29-2003, 02:51 PM

I think those Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortensen 'features' are gonna be voice clips from the movie.
Hey, SIR JAMES GALWAY!!! Huzzah! I love his stuff- man he is a wizard at the flute.

hectorberlioz · 10-30-2003, 11:44 PM

Hey cool, you've heard of james galway. but are you sure that james galway is the same as james gallaway?

hectorberlioz · 10-31-2003, 12:21 AM

Renee Fleming will be singing in it! cool!

Arathorn · 12-23-2003, 07:35 PM

I like 5. The Steward of Gondor (featuring Billy Boyd) and any of the tracks that have the Rohan-type music.

Billy's singing that song that hobbits aren't used to singing (they usually sing happy shire songs) is really haunting...

Rosie Gamgee · 12-23-2003, 07:43 PM

I definately agree with you about Billy's singing. That is beautiful, as is Viggo Mortensen's delivery of Aragorn's speech. He has such a way with bringing the poetry part of Tolkien's work to life.
My favorite themes of the whole of Howard Shore's LOTR stuff would be The Gondorian theme and the Hobbit theme. I liked hearing the conclusion of the Shire theme, and the Gondorian theme is awe-inspiring. Annie Lennox singing 'Into the West' is by far my favorite featured artist piece in the whole musical aspect of the movies. With the possible exception of Billy Boyd- he was great.

Starr Polish · 12-24-2003, 01:47 AM

Billy and Viggo can sing!

But...listening the Grey Havens when you really need a good cry...well, it's effective.

I hope it's without Denethor's eating sounds.
