MIDDLE-EARTH MUSIC REVIEWS

This thread is for reviewing music that is **Tolkien Related**. It is important to clearly state **HOW** it is Tolkien related, and provide specific Tolkien-related details (or this thread won't last long.)

Primarily this is for reviewing CDs or online mp3's (***LEGAL ONES ONLY***), old vinyl records, cassettes... You can also review Tolkien music books. I'd like to see some reviews of the movie soundtracks and the music books for the soundtracks, too; nobody has tackled that yet. (EDIT: Except Legolas; Thank you Legolas!)

Multiple reviews are ok, up to five reviews of the same music. After that, open a new thread! Put a link to the new thread here in this thread and let us know. So that the reviews don't get lost in the discussions, if you want to discuss particular music in-depth, please open another thread. If it is music that you play, check out the thread The most Tolkien-Oriented music you make.

The structure for music reviews is as follows:

TITLE:
MUSICIANS:
GENRE: Classical, operatic, folk, celtic, metal...
CANONICAL TOLKIEN or ORIGINAL? If original, how is it Tolkien Related?
REVIEW: Your opinions
DO YOU RECOMMEND IT?
PRICE YOU PAID (if you don't mind telling us, that is)
WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT
Do you know of any online samples?

The structure for music BOOK reviews is as follows:

TITLE:
MUSICIANS/COMPOSER:
GENRE: Classical, operatic, folk, celtic, metal...
INSTRUMENTS music is written for: voice? Piano? Guitar? Violin, flute, trumpet? glockenspiel...?
CANONICAL TOLKIEN or ORIGINAL? If original, how is it Tolkien Related?
REVIEW: Your opinions. Are the songs/tunes good? Do they feel like Middle-Earth music? What instrument do you play, and does the book apply well to your instrument?
DO YOU RECOMMEND IT?
Is the music comfortable to read and play? What is the skill level required?
PRICE YOU PAID (if you don't mind telling us, that is)
WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT

So, share the Middle-Earth, Tolkien music that you love with all the rest of us! Post your reviews here!
