I've been checking Amazon now and then and when I looked today they were taking pre-orders for a November 25th release date. They were also listing a 3 CD set for 55 US dollars. I couldn't find any mention of it at the official movie site. I wonder if it is all three soundtracks complete with bonus tracks. (I wish.) I almost want the soundtrack more than the movie!
Has anyone heard of this 3 CD set or what it contains?

Am I seeing that correctly, that Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortenson will both be singing on the soundtrack? And I didn't see Liv mentioned on that as a soloist.:confused: How interesting.
So I wonder if the three cd one will have the FotR and TTT with bonus tracks or something... I don't think I was even aware that FotR had a special ed. cd already. That gets confusing, and then there's a spec. edition cd+dvd, which is sold separately than the 3 cd one? They need to simplify this by just releasing ONE thing, that includes everything!:rolleyes:

I was a little shocked NOT to see Liv Tyler's name as a soloist. There was a great deal of hoopla last year about the fact Liv was going to sing the finale song in ROTK.
It appears that Anne Lennox (an incredible singer by the way) replaced Liv.

Perhaps Boyd and Mortensen's voices will be samples from spoken lines in the movie. I was hoping to hear Liv, too, but Lennox will have to "suffice" as her replacement. ;)

To tell the truth. I wish Enya had done the two towers as well as fotr. That other singer wasnt to impressive.

But I think you're gonna like La Fleming (http://www.renee-fleming.com/).

I'm even less impressed now.
Something about the gollum song bothered me. It was kinda "teeny bopperish", didnt fit in at all.

I think those Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortensen 'features' are gonna be voice clips from the movie.
Hey, SIR JAMES GALWAY!!! Huzzah! I love his stuff- man he is a wizard at the flute.

I like 5. The Steward of Gondor (featuring Billy Boyd) and any of the tracks that have the Rohan-type music.
Billy's singing that song that hobbits aren't used to singing (they usually sing happy shire songs) is really haunting...

I definately agree with you about Billy's singing. That is beautiful, as is Viggo Mortensen's delivery of Aragorn's speech. He has such a way with bringing the poetry part of Tolkien's work to life.
My favorite themes of the whole of Howard Shore's LOTR stuff would be The Gondorian theme and the Hobbit theme. I liked hearing the conclusion of the Shire theme, and the Gondorian theme is awe-inspiring. Annie Lennox singing 'Into the West' is by far my favorite featured artist piece in the whole musical aspect of the movies. With the possible exception of Billy Boyd- he was great.

Billy and Viggo can sing!
But...listening the Grey Havens when you really need a good cry...well, it's effective.

I hope it's without Denethor's eating sounds. :rolleyes:
Hate to kick a dead horse here
Or whatever the old saying about dead horses is
But does it seem to anyone like there was a lot of music left off of the soundtrack?

As I was doing my re-read to keep up with the LOTR discussion thread, I stumbled across some of the words from Pippin's song - it was from the funny walking song in the third chapter of FOTR that the hobbits (Frodo, Sam and Merry - NOT Pippin) sang to cheer themselves up after their first encounter with the Black Rider:
"Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight."
I need to replay that scene and hear the rest of the words.
EDIT - I was wrong, it WAS Pippin in the group! It was Frodo, Sam and Pippin, and Merry had gone ahead.

"Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
Hope shall fail
All shall fade"
Or something like that... Just listening to the CD, it's tough to tell if he says "shade" or "shape", or "hope shall fail" or "hope shall fade".
I'll try putting on the subtitles on the movie ...
From the subtitles in the movie:
Pippin's song in the movie
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow,
Cloud and shade,
All shall fade,
All shall fade.
Bilbo's song in the book that Frodo, Sam and Pippin sing
...
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!
So the first part is straight from the book, and the second modified.

I've got the three cd set you basicly get the three cd's in a posh cd box that contains the the three cd's and cases and loads of different front covers for both the fellowship and return of the king cases, pics like gandalf, aragorn and denathor. no extra tracks though
