I've been looking forward to this one for the better part of a year!

The legality may be a bit dicy, but you can purchase from the US iTunes Store if you can somehow procure a US-based PayPal account or credit card, bank account, etc. iTunes isn't terribly stringent on verification that their US-store customers are actually in the US.

Or you could wait.

>>>>>A question for you Doug!
As your book will be released hopefully in the near future will there be material concerning the scoring process or is the book going to focus purely on the music. I mean are there any insights from the composer and director and delving into the recording sessions. I know that there is enough material in the music itself to fill a book but will there be any behind-the-scenes sort of stuff there.>>>

Yes, indeed. There while quite a bit that relates to the Making Of side of things.<<<<

There’s something to this, but not quite what you have in mind. The ROTK notes will shed some light.

Hmmm, I though there was a connection there, now I'm anticipating ROTK:CR even more

Hey Doug, just a question for you (if you can answer it, otherwise ignore the following). WIll your book have an antiquated look like the annotated score? Will it be a hardcover/deluxe book? Not that I'll be able to afford it even if it is, but it'll be good to know its on the market.

maby you have answered a question like this before but i am curious to know if you know anything about TTT being released in other countries, for example, Australia.

I actually meant Howard Shore.I don't know why i wrote HW.

Ceau?Italian or some east-european ignored latin language?(Italian is Ciao)But "Harry in winter" is a waltz according to its alternate title:"Harry in love Waltz".

Matthijs,by your name i presume that you're from north,Flanders.If Vlams Belang takes over the norh in an unprecedent coup d'etat and proclames independence,then maybe TTT:CR won't be delivered on time in Flanders,so you won't be the first person in Belgium to own it.

Tango you say? Acoustic guitar? Sounds good already! It's too bad I have to live on a shoe string budget for the time being!

---

Yes yes! Acoustic guitar galore. It sounds very Castilian (Spanish), and some tracks are just solo guitar with very tender playing. Beautiful. I don't have a whole lot of time though, so I haven't finished listening to it yet.

'Ceau' is Romanian. It is a Latin-derived language. (Not that I am Romanian, but I have some experience with several Latin-based languages, and that sprang to mind)

First of all : Flams Belang hasn't won the elections (to be precise, they only have a majority in some minor cities)
And what I also liked to say, there is something like the cordon sanitaire which makes sure that such an organisation will NEVER will reign our country.
I know this has nothing to do with soundtracks, but I felt I had to react on that.

And about the TT CR : it will come out in Belgium just as FOTR CR did. I was talking about the book that Doug wrote.

In the EE version the Gondor theme is interrupted by scenes with Gothmog and Eowyn and then comes the heroic finale./B]

>>>3. Lost in Emyn Muil 4:14

5. Ugluk's Warriors 1:41

12. "Wraiths on Wings" 2:07 <<<

I just noticed the above tracks in Disc One had typos which I have corrected here.

Two of these are on the original www.soundtrack.net website and I hope they did not originate in the printed booklet that will come with the set!

>>>>I hope that the thratrical version is released some day becuase i personally perfer the theatrical version of that scene to the EE version because its a much more powerful statement of the gondor theme.<<<<

Yeahp, I mean the exact same thing.

>>>>Although the theatrical version can be heard on the battle for middle earth 2 demo which has a music file featuring all the muic from the game and has many many unreleased cues from ROTK.<<<<

im sure it would have to be on the game if its on the demo and if you look through all the files on the cd you should find it, its one big file

>>>>Since the release date draws e'er near, I wanted to bring up something that I know Doug has talked about before; the unused composition for the scene in which Gandalf finally ends the Balrog's life, and is resurrected. I believe Doug had said that that music could be heard in the EE Fan Credits for TT. I just listned to it and I believe Doug said that it was the music starting at around 2hrs4mins33secs. Its a great piece of music. I especially enjoy the choral part for its very epic and beautiful qualities.<<<<

Actually, "Wariths" was the spelling that George Lucas had always intended, he just never had the technology to support his expansive vision. Now that computer graphics have caught up with his imagination, they will be referred to as "wariths," just as he had originally planned.

All readers, I highly recommend this film!!!!!

Also, yesterday, in the mail, I received Howard Shore's score to 'The Client' - I haven't listened to it all yet, but I skipped my way through to a track near the end.....I was moved........and I burst forth in tears, and found myself unable to speak, as the music was more beautiful and uplifting than any words could ever possibly be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. its Battle for middle earth 2 NOT 1

Wahhh!! How jealous I am of people who have The Battle for Middle Earth 2. I "won" it, but EA-Games apparently didn't think it necessary to actually send me the gift.
