It's okay.......2007-02-19

But not what I expected. The music on this album has a more futuristic, new age feel than what I expected for something inspired by LOTR, which would have been more celtic-folk-bagpipe style music akin to David Arkenstone. The music is somewhat repetitive in its motifs and I actually got bored with it and turned it off. Of course, everyone has their own conception of what LOTR should "sound like," so if you like more modern-sounding "ancient" music, this album might be for you.

An Amatuerish Mess.......2004-12-21

Like many, I am enchanted by all things Middle Earth, and I will buy almost anything marked "inspired by." I am also a big David Arkenstone fan, and bought this shortly after getting his Middle Earth CD. I had high hopes, and am rather forgiving if I can feel where the composer and artist is coming from.

That said, this CD is an awful mess. Most of these songs are jumble of jangling guitars/harps or whatever synth patches they used. They have little discernible melody and no motion.

I hadn't listened to the CD in a few months, so I popped it in again yesterday, thinking perhaps I'd just had a bad day or eaten something that didn't agree with me last time. No such luck. I couldn't even finish it this time. Sorry to those who have posted positive reviews, but there is much, much, much better out there.

The Musical Magic of the Rings.......2004-10-27

As a huge Tolkien and fantasy genre fan I am really enjoying this title from Everstar. It's clear from the cover art that this band is comprised entirely of Elvin beings with a little help from producers David & Steve Gordon, whose music I also really admire. These tracks depict the musical adventures of Frodo and company as they move through Middle Earth on their continuing journey in their quest to defeat the dark powers of the Ring. This music practically sparkles with enchantment and is sure to be enjoyed by fans of the Ring epic as well as listeners who just enjoy good Celtic based music. Put on your headphones and let yourself be transported to another world.

This is not a bad release but unfortunatelly in Europe the promotion for this releases is zero! Sequoia Records is responsable for this lack of interest...

Great CD, although not necessary of Middle Earth.......2004-04-17

This is a great collection of beautiful music, which I thoroughly enjoy listening to. I would have to say that it does not necessarily transport me to Middle Earth in the sense of the Hobbit and LOTR storylines, which I feel are better interpreted by David Arkenstone; however, from the perspective of a collection of elvish music, not tied to a particular story, it touches the soul.
