Continue ReadingLots of speculation on what the Sept. 25th soundtrack release is, but the consensus is that it’s not the soundtrack to the upcoming films. Bet they’ll come out with a great deal of major hype. We did get one “positive sighting” though: According to Free Record Shop in Norway the temporary [provisional?] release date for the FOTR soundtrack in Norway is the 19th of November 2001.
Thanks to Hugo T. Gunnarsson for that!
Thanks to our friends at LordofTheRings.nl we have a link to a downloadable documentary about Tolkien! It’s in two Realmedia files, about 25 minutes long, right here
Thanks to Migi and ArtifEx for that!
UPDATE
Looks like the poll has changed. I can’t believe we lost to a spandex wearing Shelob wanna-be! heh! Oh well…there is always the next poll!

Okay, I have been spending a lot of time updating a subsection of TORN for the last few days, and little did I realize that Lord of the Rings was losing an online fan poll! Call to arms! Its time to show, once again, that Tolkien fans will not be second! Spiderman is beating us folks…that is pretty pathetic. (The poll is in the lower right of the link’s page) [VOTE!]
Mjshep writes to say: “Media Play is advertising that the LOTR score soundtrack is to be sold on September 25 2001. I called the store in my city and it was confirmed!” Wow, can this be true??? Anyone else who can confirm this and tell us where the soundtrack’s for sale, hit the email! I can’t wait to hear that haunting hornsolo when Frodo says the fateful words ‘I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way’ …and the Maori chorus of men’s voices singing in Moria…..(Tehanu wipes drool off cat…..)
Nope, it’s just somebody jumping on the LOTR gravy train. The link for the music is here and you’ll notice it doesn’t give ANY details. Not the Shore score, I’ll be bound. Probably the Bakshi film from the 70s or something. Word is the real new soundtrack will be out ‘closer to the film’s release date.’
Since this poll is being run by Century Theatres, it might be worth doing since I’m sure the results could affect their plans for the release of FOTR. [More] Thanks to Mjshep for that.
Weep no more: “A VERY nice person by the name of Ioreth has found some downloadable versions of the “making of” videos from the official site. This is really nice for those of us who have dial up connections and can’t view streaming media properly.” Here’s the Shire, Bree and the latest videoclip, Weathertop
