Can anyone make out what the word is right before The Rohan Fanfare? It looks like it starts with a "D". Doug?

D------:The Rohan Fanfare Disc 1 Track 2 0:00

So, the unused music clips in the podcast go to: 1) Gollum and his rabbits 2) The Rohirrim ambush on the Uruks. I think Doug's made this quite obvious with his replies , but I "could" be wrong.

Now: Podcast, Annonated Score, Boxed Set, a long wait for the 3rd and final CR.

About the inversion of the Fellowship theme...awesome! To answer your question, tomandshell, no, we will probably never be finished mining the intricacies of these scores.

Though I need some clarification from Doug on 2 points:

1. The 3 CDs in FOTR:CR had different designs. From what I see, atleast 2 of the CDs in TTT:CR have the same design.

2. The background maps on the left of the CD trays are much "lighter" than those on FOTR:CR. They do look much better. Frankly, the maps with the track names in FOTR:CR looked like a big mess, though I'm used to them now.

It's just that I'm a designer (software) and I tend to notice intricate consistencies (in things I'm passionate about), or the lack of them thereof.

But really no major gripes, it the music that matters. And the dedication of the poeple behind it all. Thanks so much Doug.

The Drums are there, the Drums are there...
Oh i can't wait for the Podcast!

* Indicated in Doug Adams' liner notes.

I don't know what that section in Parth Galen at 7:15 is either!

I DO know however, that it is about the coolest little (partially) independent figure in the whole score! I love that transition between male and female choir. Sends chills down my spine every time. However, it is in 5/4 time and has a backing of the Isengard beat, so I surmise maybe it is just an awesome variation.

That figure at the beginning of, and throughout The Departure of Boromir... I don't know if this is indeed an independent 'motif' of sorts, but given the nature of these scores, I have to doubt it somewhat. Doug?

P.S. I just watched that scene where Eomer and his company find Theodred on the banks of the river and bring him back to Edoras; I am looking forward to that music too. It has an almost, dare I say, Morriconesque Western feel to it. Interesting indeed.

If you listen very, very carefully behind my voice you’ll hear another (non-woodwind) instrument in there that will provide a huge hint. I talked over it specifically to make it difficult however. (Sorry! )

Yeah, the Hammered Dulcimer! Cembalon, Bassoon, what else could it be but Gollum music?

Anyway, I go on a little vacation for four days, I come back, and voila: brand new photos, great sound clips and my copy went out today by express mail!

And the Wraiths On Wings piece sounds VERY promising!

Where did you hear that crazy horn piece in ROTK,the game?I don't recall it and i play that game for almost 2 years.

This was my Favorite new composition for the TTT EE! It starts epic and continues very lyrical, I am waiting to hear it too with great anticipation….

7:15? i will check it, i am very curious...

I think it was in the Paths Of The Dead. Or maybe I'm confusing something and I actually heard it in one of the documentaries. But I definitely heard it.

Btw, if you listen to "The Forests Of Ithilien", you hear music similar to the one during Frodo and Sam's argument over Gollum at the pool in ROTK.

Soooo...what's new?

CK

(PS: At least I got to make the 666th post on this thread...booyah!)

I just wish my ordered copy would get here by Tuesday at the latest. I'd hate to not get to listen to it on release day.

I might have to wait until the set's price drops a bit (anywhere), so I guess I won't be getting it this Christmas. But of course I'm once again as giddy as last year when FotR was about to come out.

Side-story...I was in Bamberg last month, and wanted to ask you if you'd like to meet up. Only...I didn't know how to contact you, as I had no way of eMailing you, and I didn't want to scare you by calling you...

That's interesting... if it actually is the genuine TTT:CR, then that means either (1) that some consumer must have gotten their copy already, or (2) somebody from the development team is being naughty. Hmmmm.

On Usenet.

But I'm not surprised. I figured that soundtrack.net did it. They've leaked things before in the past onto the usenet mp3 groups.

In this day and age, should anyone be surprised? I mean, if if you don't want something out before the actual street date, don't make it available to anyone beforehand.

Heck, Ford could have gotten his fat hands on it and leaked it, he's that unscrupulous.

*cough* *cough*

But I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't pay anything.

BTW - shame on you! Nothing against a good scoregasm, but do try and restrain yourself until you hold the real thing in your hands and...uhm...that "could" be misunderstood...

Ahem!

Is this some kind of tongue-in-cheek discussion about the CR on Usenet? And what's with the $4.95 thing?

I've been there (on Usenet) for a long time and can't find anything. Poor me, since I can't get the box set until Wednesday the 8th.
