Score composer Howard Shore has informed this first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with his distinctly modern sensibilities. Revolving loosely around a brief, heroic brass theme, this epic is infused with a powerful rhythmic thrust and a musical range that encompasses centuries (from the Renaissance pastoralism of "Concerning Hobbits" to the fiery, Prokofiev-influenced drama of "A Knife in the Dark"). Key to the score's sense of mystery and magical place are the rich choral passages that are interspersed throughout, some so ominously gothic they make The Phantom Menace's "Duel of the Fates" sound almost sunny by comparison. Enya's contributions ("The Council of Elrond" and the song "May It Be") add a sense of organic tranquility, but it's Shore's Wagnerian-scaled orchestral score that should long be cherished by admirers of film music and hobbits alike. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

The music is good but the movie is better.......2007-04-10

I really enjoyed the 3 series of The Lord of the Rings movie so I wanted the music. The soundtracks are good but if you like the movie the soundtracks watch the movie. They remind you of certain parts in the movie like the song Concerning Hobbits. The song is whimsical. Enyna has a great voice, very haunting. The Ring Goes South is another favorite of mine. I can enjoy these soundtracks as classical or dramatic music. I bought them because I loved the Lord of the Rings which has many similarities to Braveheart. Bravery, courage, strength, honesty, selflessness, love and other good human qualities people try to attain and admire them in the people and movies they view.

A grand sountrack..........2007-01-10

One of Howard Shore's best soundtracks around. The music is strong enough to tell its own separate story apart from FOTR. You will never tire of the heart-pounding excitement from The Bridge of Kazaad-Dum track.

Lord of the Rings Original Soundtracks, films 1 and 3.......2006-11-08

Having made an earlier mistake of buying 2 C.D.'s which were not original soundtrack, I can truthfully say these are the best. If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, look no further - no one does it better than The London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the composer Howard Shore. You will be back in Middle Earth reliving all those wonderful scenes. I bought only The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King from Amazon.com because I already had the Two Towers from Amazon.co.uk and I would recommend all three - magical.

Awe inspiring!.......2006-10-02

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Howard Shore's magnificent score for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? A soundtrack can define the whole atmosphere of a film, and this fully orchestrated work certainly does that with sweep, splendor and wonder, alternately humanizing (hobbit-izing?) the characters, imbuing the landscape with magic and capturing the world-shaking impact of events of mythic proportions. And this was no easy task considering the iconoclastic status of the story and the superb quality of Peter Jackson's filmmaking. This is a truly a soundtrack for the ages--a fitting accompaniment to a film for the ages! Every aspect of life, from the extreme to the mundane, is captured in this music. Listening to it can make every remembered moment of the movie come alive again in your mind, from the most horrific battle to the smallest moment of humor or kindness. I think this first one is my favorite of the three "Lord of the Rings" soundtracks. I enjoy the juxtaposition of the lighter moments, like the sweet, simple hobbit theme, with the grander and more menacing sections of the music. (That despite the fact that said hobbit theme begins exactly like the first phrase of the Protestant hymn "This Is My Father's World," which prompts me to think of the hobbits trouping off to Sunday school every time I hear it. But now when I hear the hymn, I think of Lord of the Rings, so I suppose all's fair!) What impressed me most as I watched "The Fellowship of the Ring" was how scary the music was when the hobbits were being pursued. Those relentless drums and eerily screaming drums made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, even though I knew the story like the back of my hand and knew for a fact that the poor little heroes would manage to escape. But the music truly made me wonder otherwise ... Now that's good composition! And the fact that the filmmakers chose to include background music in so many of the scenes, almost continuously ... well, that's just good filmmaking! The other impressive thing about Howard Shore's score is how the voicing and repeating motifs tie the whole thing together, like the finest of symphonies. The total effect is utterly convincing and utterly transporting. Peter Jackson chose well when he picked Shore as his score writer. Very, very well! Be sure to get the scores from the other two movies in the trilogy as well - "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King." They seem to be available in no end of different packagings, including ones with bonus DVDs about the creation of the score. Also, make sure to get the extended edition DVDs of the movie itself, with hours and hours of fascinating commentaries and behind-the-scenes documentaries about the making of the films. Truly a bargain at any price! And for more seminal soundtracks, try John Williams' defining scores for the "Star Wars" series and Basil Poledouris's spectacular score for the original "Conan the Barbarian."

It is the best of the three CDs!!!.......2006-09-10

For me, the music of the first sequel is my favourite since this is also the sequel that I prefer in the trilogy (I remember being blown away by the quality of this movie, the actors, the setting, the action scenes, the special effects, the moving relationships between all the characters and of coourse the music)
I think that the other CDs are a bit repetitive once you've got this one, even if I still like the music of the second soundtrack 'The Two Towers'. As for the 3rd sequel, I seldom listen to it as there is only one track that I like, 'The Return of the King'.
Now, this first CD of the trilogy is actually very good. Thanks to Enya, it is haunting and the songs are beautiful. There are a few eery but melodious songs like 'The Council of Elrond', 'Lothlorien', 'May it Be'. I love the change of tempo, the balance between fast and slow movements in 'A Knife in the Dark', 'Flight to the ford', and 'Amon Hen' which is my favourite piece (the Death of Boromir) with the oboe sound mixed with the beat of the drums and finaly the haunting voice of the singer. Track 17 is also worth listening. I like this CD because you've got different tempos and melodies and Anya is a great singer to me. But I also enjoy listening to Emiliana Torrini's song 'Gollum's Song'in the second soundtrack...

They are the best at what they do and this CD is just one more example. You cannot go wrong with any Nox Arcana CD

A Stunning Debut!.......2007-04-17

Nox Arcana's debut CD Darklore Manor is a stunning, chilling instrumental concept album that could easily serve as the soundtrack for a classic haunted house film. Very few debut CDs have the amazing musicianship and technical virtuosity that Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski exhibit on this album. There are unforgettable, elegant piano-dominated melodies like "Veil of Darkness," as well as sinister organ pieces, moody harpsichord songs and elaborate, stirring orchestral set pieces that demonstrate an instinctive mastery of composition and melody. The entire gamut of Gothic music is presented here, and woven throughout the CD's 21 tracks are ghostly sound effects, chilling choirs and eerie narrations, all of which contribute to a mesmerizing musical tapestry. The CD's highlight may be "The Forgotten" - a beautiful, moving piano elegy that you will never forget. Many musicians strive their whole careers for an album this accomplished. The beautifully designed CD booklet by Joseph Vargo and Christine Filipak is another delight - this is an album that shows a rare attention to detail, from the packaging to the mixing. Highly recommended.

Nox Arcana: The project that truly represents Halloween and for people who simply love classical-oriented Gothic instrumentals.......2007-04-09

I was told, by a mysterious voice in the night, that I should seek Nox Arcana and await further instructions. But it all began years ago with the discovery of the Midnight Syndicate. So, I did the obvious and entered "Midnight Syndicate" in my computer search engine, and the lone website introduced itself to me. All went dark and quiet, and the room got cold, and I could see my breath as I panted in fear, and I heard laughter amongst terrifying screams, but yet, I was alone. This was only my introduction to the Midnight Syndicate and soon to follow was the birth of something even better, the nightmareish apparitions of Nox Arcana. I was compelled to bring Nox Arcana into my world, and so I've been in the dark ever since. But, then again, it became a blissful absence from the norm. Although, Halloween is never really mentioned with any of the Nox Arcana CD's, it does seem that everyday is Halloween in my world, and for the past four years, I've always feared that I've sold my soul somehow. I believe that I sacrificed my soul the day I got out my credit card and asked the cyber spirits to bring my first Nox Arcana CD into my home. It was this CD: "Darklore Manor"

Something became different about me. My very presence wasn't acknowledged in any normal way anymore. Was I being ignored, or am I even in the room at all? Something just wasn't right. I've had days that I've stared into the mirror, but somehow, I wasn't there. When I speak to strangers in the street, I don't think that they even acknowledge me. I speak with just a small hiss of words, and people respond as if they've just been pushed by a cold wind. My loved ones speak of me, as if I've departed from this world, but yet, I am in the room. Only when I laugh, do people respond as if they've heard something. They cuddle together, in fear of their safety, and cry out my name, in a past tense, as if I am torturing them. This wasn't fun anymore. It wasn't fun, THEN, anyway.

I wander aimlessly, finally coming to terms with this apparition that I have become. My only consolation, deep into the night, is to take some of my Nox Arcana CD's and my mini-CD player, to the cemetery and lay against a tombstone, and watch the wind swirl up the leaves in a satanic dance before my eyes, while the music plays and eats away at my scruples of logic. I feel a cold embrace of many condemned angels who've cast off all their inhibitions and indulged in lustful passion upon my defenseless mortal flesh. I am consumed into their ritual with reckless abandon. Returning to reality is all nonsense now. My only fear, is that the batteries in my CD player will weaken and diminish this clash of passion of my psychological pleasure and terror.

I am so glad that Nox Arcana has entered my once typical, pop culture world. However, I feel now, that if I should ever die, I may not know the difference. I've been enjoying this nocturnal bliss for a couple of years now and there's no going back. I walk this world in a cold absence where I question if my presence is perceived at all.

If you'd like to share in this experience with me, start off with this CD of "Darklore Manor". Then get "Necronomicon", "Winter's Knight", "Transylvania", "Carnival of Lost Souls", and their latest (as of 2007) called "Blood of the Dragon".

This music is not heavy metal. It's not satanic music. It's just a mix of classically-influenced instrumentals with various snippets of dark poetry and ghastly effects. You'll hear tormented screams, deathly bell tolls, sinister laughter, grandfather clocks, howling winds, and other little clever effects with piano, organ, and harpsichord, supported by rich strings and a mellotron sound, that promote a uniquely beautiful, but yet, horrifying terror that may claim your soul. It's a small sacrifice for the sake of a dark happiness.

Alas, here's one more way that I have benefited from the music of Nox Arcana. By listening to these CD's through headphones at the cemetery, alone, late at night, in the cold dark, there is a terror that I've experienced that has actually helped me lose weight. To be so terrified that my heart pulsated so intensely that I feared my heart would just burst! That, and the accidental soiling of myself, helped me lose about three pounds. Who would have thought that terror could promote weight loss?

So, if it's dark and disturbing, it has a place in my heart.

A well-woven dark tale.......2007-02-22

Though a bit more specific and talky than the Midnight Syndicate CDs (which was my first venture into this kind of atmospheric music), I found Nox Arcana's Darklore Manor to be quite creepy. It tells a story of an house under a curse, and the strange happenings therein. While it leaves less to the imagination than Midnight Syndicate's 13th Hour, it has plenty of frightening tracks for your next horror gaming session or Halloween party.

Harris Should Be Better Recognized!.......2007-02-05

Mick Harris (who is better known for N.D. and Scorn) has had this side-project in Lull going for awhile now.
It really isn't music for the uninitiated. The grouping of this type of music under "Dark Ambient" is appropos. It's environmental drone music that sets a feeling of dread and almost despair with attentive listening. Getting down with Lull is like knowing some bad mojo is locked-and-loaded, with you targeted in the crosshairs. But maybe it isn't just you set for a monstrous fall; maybe it's bigger and on an epic scale where you, your friends and the whole world are unbalanced while walking a thin path overlooking the dark abyss.
Make no mistake, Lull is powerful music not to be used as mere background noise. It's a transforming music that morphs your mood and seeps into your soul.
Yeah, there are other projects that claim dark ambient content; but they might be better off paying homage to the master.

One of the cool things about modern video games is that some very interesting people--such as former NIN drummer Chris Vrenna and contemporary instrumental composer David Arkenstone--have been commissioned to score recent titles. Now Dark Age of Camelot unites an eclectic batch of artists in its soundtrack. Whether one is a fan of the game or simply wants to indulge in music from, or reflective of, the Middle Ages, this CD offers a surprisingly diverse range of compositions, most symbolizing an individual character type from the game. Deborah-Henson Conant's delicate and graceful harp playing characterizes the Bard; Veljo Tormis's eerie "Litany to Thunder," performed by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, heralds the Berserker; the Ranger is accompanied by a sprightly Celtic theme from Secret Garden; and the Wizard is represented by a beguiling medieval gaming and drinking song performed by the New London Consort. Composers Rick Schaffer and Charles Washington also provide three electronic/symphonic tracks, including the opening fanfare of "Main Title." Further, the three realms from the game each possess a dominant musical style--for Hibernia, it's Celtic, for Midgard, Nordic, and for Albion, medieval European. Let's hope the impressive Dark Age of Camelot marks the future of video-game soundtracks. --Bryan Reesman

Customer Reviews:

Unpleasant surprise.......2003-07-18

I am a collector of soundtracks and, even though I do not play DAOC, I purchased this one based on the sample clips presented. If you are thinking of buying this, be aware that the clips above are not indicative of the album. In fact, only four, very short pieces on this album are even part of the game soundtrack. The rest are a mishmash of pieces from various other sources. The two from Secret Garden are lifted from their "Dreamcatcher" album. As has been mentioned, there is no real flow to the music. Most jarring are the numerous choral arrangements, which I did not expect and don't particularly enjoy.
If you're thinking of starting DAOC like I was and hope to get a feel for the game by listening to the soundtrack, don't waste your time. I'll most likely be selling this one.

A really cool idea! (And great music too!).......2003-05-26

Most compilation CDs I've come across are either marketing tools featuring the artists of a particular label, or else themed collections of similar music. This album is neither. Rather, it contains music from a wide variety of artists and musical traditions, selected to reflect and give voice to the imaginary world created by a computer game (also entitled "Dark Age of Camelot"). Musical styles range from Neo-Nordic and New Age to Celtic and Renaissance, with a bit of Estonian and soundtrack-style music thrown in as well. The resulting mix is somewhat uneven to listen to straight through, which can be disconcerting. However, the disparities seem to be intentional; each of the fictional cultures in the game is represented by markedly different styles of music. And it's real music too, not hokey, electronicized game motifs. The selections abound with mature compositional and arrangement styles, passionate performance and professional delivery. In fact, some of my favorite artists are featured here: Thomas Loefke, Secret Garden, and the New London Consort. And the other musicians were well worth being introduced or re-introduced to. I love the creative concept of this CD: drawing evocative, inspiring, professionally-produced music together from a variety of sources, for the purpose of enhancing another creative effort of a different genre--synthesis and synergy. There exists such a huge amount of recorded music to choose from in an endeavor like this, and there are probably other games out there which could inspire similar collaborations, not to mention many, many books (remember books--those things you don't have to plug in to enjoy?) which could easily do the same. I, for one, would be delighted to discover more albums like "Dark Age of Camelot". Whether used to sample the work of some fine musicians, or to get in the mood for the DAoC game, this CD is well worth the price, as well as the effort that went into producing it. Thanks, Steven Singer, Penny Bennett, and company! And if you like this album and its concept, you might also enjoy these others, also inspired by works of fantasy fiction: David and Diane Arkenstone's "Music Inspired by Middle Earth", "Byzantium" by Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning, and the Danna brothers' "A Celtic Tale".

Dark Age of Camelot More Than A Game........2002-02-09

Who wants a game soundtrack? You should. From day one of playing the game Dark Age of Camelot I enjoyed the background music that accompanied my journey through Celtic lands. I've now purchased the soundtrack and I LOVE IT. I play it when I'm away from my computer in the mix of rush hour traffic. The music includes traditions from Celtic, Nordic, and European music. I find some tracks playful but in total the CD is a soothing pleasure. My favorite is ''The Ranger'' (The Rap) performed by Secret Garden. The CD also includes the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and Philip Pickett. The Dark Age of Camelot Soundtrack should be apart of every music collection, especially if you love new experiences.

Maybe a little too authentic?.......2002-02-03

I love the CD and the music is very beautiful, but somehow it didn't seem to fit the game. Perhaps it's because I'm so conditioned to hear that typical game genre music, this seemed far too "real". Maybe this would work well for those on the role playing servers, but I didn't find it to necessarily enhance my DAoC experience. (that's not to say it detracts from it either!) I listen to the CD often, but ironically, not usually when I'm playing the game as was the initial suggestion. :)

Authentic and fun - a must have for any DAoC fan.......2002-01-17

Well done and sounds great. The CD really works because the music is authentic to the three realms. Nice way to enhance gameplay or for general music listening.

Album Description

HFQ's second recording is a darker follow up to the group's eponymous debut. This CD features original music, including the favorites "Dirty," "Hey Little Girl," "Molly's Pies" and an intense, exploratory rendition of the traditional "Oh Death." Clocking in at almost seventy minutes of music, the disc is a veritable catalogue of American roots styles, a starker predecessor to Dylan's latest "Love and Theft." Blues, Jazz, Country, Tango, Swing, Old-Time, Avante-Garde, Parlor Songs and Waltzes intermingle not from song to song but from moment to moment to create a rich, mysterious tapestry of sound. I LIKE YOU A LOT received four stars from THE ALL MUSIC GUIDE, charted at #3 on ROLLINGSTONE.COM's TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 2001 and was featured in a lengthy profile on Terry Gross' FRESH AIR on NPR. Recorded live in the studio to all-analog tape, I LIKE YOU A LOT was a sleeper hit and has found fans all over the globe.

As individuals, we are rightly picky about our music preferences. But there is an essential quality to HFQ's music which defies traditional description. Whatever you think you might not like about HFQ -- don't. Try it. 'I Like You A Lot', and all of HFQ's music, delivers a flavor you know, and yet don't know, and you just have to have more. This is real music, second only to hearing HFQ 'live'.

A Different World.......2002-02-27

I don't know who these guys are (a friend gave me the CD for Christmas) but after a few casual listens here and there I put this disc on the other day and I can't get it off of my player! These tunes creep under your skin. I love the rootsy vibe mingled with the punky passion and realness. Now I understand my friend's need to evangalize for this band. It's the best stuff I've heard in a long time.

Disappointment.......2002-02-19

Read good reviews and articles in magazines, liked the idea, and what a disappointment. The music is nice, but then that voice! Horrendous! Also, why waste time, go back to the originals this band is copying: Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Dan Hicks, Django, etc. The voice and delivery are supposed to be quirky and evoke the time period, but it's like nails on a blackboard.

Socratic rendition of a futuristic opera.......2001-07-12

This album transcends modern musical ways of thinking. It encompasses the glimmering significance of every musical genre, becoming itself purely genreless. With the combination of a sexy trumpet dancing casually and sometimes forcefully in the foreground, an elegant violin, a femininly shaped bass,and a defeated romantic guitar player, this arrangement of ballads and blistering harmonics is a must for any jazz, folk, blues, rockabilly, or classical enthusiast. Imagine sashaying through a ballroom lit with blue, cupping a golden glass of champagne, meeting the intoxicating charismas of cowboys, and slow dancing with Django Reinhardt and you will still have no idea of the fantastical world that these songs will send your mind and body to.

Product Description

A journey into the dark infinity of inner space, Dwight Ashleys premiere solo recording is an aural world rich in paradox and contradiction. Ashley characterizes his work as experimental and in fact, the release of the album is itself something of an experiment. Remarking on the body of his work over the past two decades, Ashley muses in the liner notes to his album, I sometimes questioned whether it truly qualified as music. Discrete Carbon asks the listener for a verdict and in so doing, demands a rethinking of exactly what music is, does, and ultimately, means to the listener.

some Erie stuff.......2005-03-11

I recently received two cds by Dwight Ashley, this collection of stuff from 1999 and 2003 and the more recent Four with compositions from 2003/4. Erie, I say, cuz it's from Toledo, Ohio, on the shores of that Lake of same name. Now, place doesn't always count for much, I realize. But, if we are what we eat, then I think we sound like what we hear.

These ambient pieces sound like winter to me. (Course, I received them here in Reno in the midst of an hundred-year snow storm...) Track 3 "katalepsis" shimmers like an ice sculpture in the dark. Track 9 "examined by tweezers" seems a meditation on the modulation of sound passing thru an "empty" medium (the atmosphere perhaps, or maybe one's home as one works with the stereo on in the background).

Musically, I am reminded of the music of Jeff Grienke and of ambient Eno of the Discreet Music period. There is some happy piano music on a hidden track 15 reminding me somewhat of the happy piano music on Aphex Twin's "drukqs." Of the two cds, I think I like Four the best because of its darker edge.

A very good collection.......2000-04-12

Woody Shaw is one of my favorite trumpeters, and this set provides an excellent selection of his work, covering a 20 year period. The selections include six 1965 recordings matching Shaw with Joe Henderson on tenor sax, along with some of Shaw's best recordings for the Muse label in the 70's and 80's.
