Synopsis

Album Description

The timely release of this beautiful piece coincides with the release of the first movie in a series of three (The Lord of the Rings), The Fellowship of the Ring directed by Peter Jackson. Composed and conducted by Sir James Pitton-Smith and destined to be one of the great 'darkwave' symphonies of the 21st century. The symphony is arranged into 3 parts - Lord of the Rings Overture, Legend of the Hobbit & March of the Dark Lords. Includes an erotic fold out poster. Paper sleeves housed in a digi-box. 2001 release on the Dressed To Kill label.

CD Reviews

Might not be what you think it is....

"I suppose it was worth it for the sheer comic value, and the lesson to not buy anything without a description. I thought I was ordering an audio cd _reading_ of LOTR, but what I received was a collection of eraserhead-esque hissing darkwave (3 cd's worth) and an erotic map of middle earth rendered by some Luis Royo clone. Pure gold telling friends I have an 'erotic Map of middle earth' however."

An Erotic Poster of Middle Earth??

"I bought this item thinking I was buying the audio version of the LOTR. Much to my suprise, the CD box set and enclosed poster are both decorated with mostly nude women in erotic poses. Boy was my 10-year old son suprised!! Regardless, we gave the music a try, and in the words of my son, "It stunk!!"."

High School Music Engineering Project?

"I find it difficult to believe that some bored kids didn't make this "dark symphony" on a weekend. If you like minimalist "burps" of sound from saxes, oboes, bassoons, etc., with some unimaginative "chords," then buy this disc. I found nothing that relates to Tolkien's works other than the names of the pieces and the enclosed map (with Royo-girls!). On the other hand, the Royo-esque erotic pictures are anything but high school.

All in all, I'm disappointed but appreciative of someone who spends an hour recording some music."
