As if LOTR is all Doug's got going. Don't forget this:

...which reminds me I meant to listen to those clips. See ya later.

Hit you? My esteemed Mr Adams, that list of pints I owe you now extends past my knees! I am in complete raptures!

Thanks a lot for the update, and my sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery!

Yikes, be careful!! Here's wishing you a complete and "hasty" recovery in the Houses of Healing!!

I hope the joy of working on this round of LotR CR helped get your mind off all pains you may be enduring!

My, what tantalizing tidbits you have offered us here! My anticipation quotient just went up several degrees on the Richter Scale!! Be still my heart! Now where did I put my meds!!!! :-)

Thanks for a great update, and we are even more in your debt than usual, since you are doing it while recovering from surgery! I tried going back to work once immediately after a "minor" procedure (oral surgery), but it was hard to type with one hand (the other was holding an ice pack against my face), and as the anesthetic began to wear off, my ability to concentrate diminished, and I fled home.

Also, the clips of Bitterblue sound fantastic...very magical. Texturally, some clips have a very "Elliot and ET" simplicity and beauty. In other words, AWESOME.

Eh? Why thrombosis? He wrote he'd tried to lift heavy stuff. Sounds like hernia or something similarly unpleasant.

Thanks very much for the well-wishes. I did, indeed, give myself a hernia and lived with it about 10 months until I gave in to surgery. I actually didn't intend to whine to everyone in a campaign for sympathy... I was really just trying to justify my slow... and perhaps foggy... responses as of late. But your comments have been very touching.

Oh, and Mr. Horner, no bitting comment was intended. That was just my off-center way of saying you may in fact be on to something...

All best,

Precisely what I thought too, Mr. Horner. I think that was Doug's signature way of saying something without technically saying it.

Ah, okay! So my missinterpretation of that comment must be a result of my lack of english knowledge...
But I'm very glad to hear, that this project could eventually happen. So, I'm going to "stay" tuned again!
Cheers

OMG gkgyver You silly idiot... you should know that I read your post while in a meeting and was questioned as to why I was grinning while biting my lower lip to keep back from laughing

Herr Kröner, I am looking in your general direction (which is, Northeast for me).

It's exciting since I don't have those discs and have no idea what to expect

And for Doug, just a thought. Did you acknowledge sometime back and somewhere here that there would be a slipcase to kepp all the CRs in? If yes, and assuming it will be released alongwith ROTK:CR, and since the rarities will probably be released sometime later with your book, please please don't forget to leave space for the rarities box (if it is a box :P) or else it'll feel lonely up on the shelf

That would just increase everyone's anticipation - a slipcase with an empty slot awaiting the last great musical release of LOTR.

The last release... and then it'll be like way back in 2004 when there was no LOTR to look forward to in December

The last release?
I do not believe it. I will not!

I'm sure, there is more to come - maybe a DVD of the Symphony (with Maestro Shore conducting of course)?

There is still hope...

Well, I really didn't, but still, this wasn't too badly done:

I usually like temp scoring, but hearing the Jurassic Park theme replacing the "You bow to no one" music doesn't feel well.

If such a case is in the works for the music recordings I wonder what the color will be and if its design will be a little more imaginative? Doug?

On Monday, June 11, 2007 Howard Shore was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from York University in Toronto for his "sweeping artistic vision." Read the York University news item here.

Doctor Shore...do you think I can go to him if I suffer from Zimmeritis?

Congratulations!
