Soundtrack.net<\/a><\/b> have managed to be the first site to snag the official track listing for Howard Shore’s score to The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers<\/i>, and the line-up looks as, if not more, impressive than last year’s Oscar-winning soundtrack.<\/p>\n

1. Foundations Of Stone
2. The Taming Of Sméagol
3. The Riders Of Rohan
4. The Passage Of The Marshes
5. The Uruk-hai
6. The King Of The Golden Hall
7. The Black Gate Is Closed
8. Evenstar (featuring Isabel Bayrakdarian<\/i><\/a>)
9. The White Rider
10. Treebeard
11. The Leave Taking
12. Helm’s Deep
13. The Forbidden Pool
14. Breath Of Life (featuring Sheila Chandra<\/i><\/a>)
15. The Hornburg
16. Forth Eorlingas (featuring Ben Del Maestro<\/i>)
17. Isengard Unleashed (featuring Elizabeth Fraser & Ben Del Maestro<\/i>)
18. Samwise The Brave
19. Gollum’s Song (performed by Emiliana Torrini<\/a><\/i>)
20. (Bonus Track): Farewell To Lórien (featuring Hilary Summers<\/i>)<\/p>\n

There will be three different editions of the soundtrack released: a standard edition with one of five collectable double-sided trading cards; a limited edition with the extra bonus track, “Farewell to Lórien” from The Fellowship of the Ring: Special Edition DVD<\/i>; and finally a mysterious third edition with a run of only 5,000 available to buy online.<\/p>\n

After studying the list for a while, here’s some random thoughts from my TORn desk on this enthralling line-up:
• Is the name of the opening track a reference to Emyn Muil, and thus supports the belief that the opening shot is of Frodo and Sam instead of the Three Hunters?
• The promotion of the soundtrack should be a marked improvement without Enya, after Reprise’s disasterous campaign last year which focused too heavily on their Irish singer.
• A greater emphasis has been placed on vocals, the number of featuring artists doubling from 3 on the FotR soundtrack to 6 on the TTT soundtrack.
• ‘Forth Eorlingas’ and ‘Isengard Unleashed’ seem to be the two tracks which will play during the Battle of Helm’s Deep.
• There does not appear to be a Minas Tirith track of any kind on the soundtrack.
• ‘The Forbidden Pool’ suggests the Henneth Annun will definetly make an appearance in the film, most likely with the footage of Gollum hitting a fish of the ground which was being filmed during the Two Towers preview on the FotR DVD.
• Will ‘Gollum’s Theme’ be the last track to play into the credits at the end of the film? And what does this name suggest; perhaps we will get a glimpse of Gollum’s betrayal of the Hobbits to Shelob in anticipation for the opening of The Return of the King<\/i>. Or will we see some inner struggle between the guilt-ridden Slinker and the ring-obsessed stinker which will continue in RotK?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
